Pluckrose On The Bizarre Criticism of Peter Boghossian In The Portland State Vanguard
Wow that thing is embarrassing.
The longer your in academia, the clearer it becomes that many academicians just aren't very smart. The humanities in particular are largely filled with articulate, reasonably well-educated people who are interested in their field...but aren't necessarily the sharpest tools in the shed. And many of them don't even have the virtue of objectivity, which is probably more important than smarts.
If these are the best criticisms they can scrape up, it's game, set and match for Boghossian & co.
