Addendum: I'm curious what the connection between those who are vehemently critical of #TheoryCultural and those who seem deeply invested in #EpistemologyPositivism perspectives - people such as Wright and #WebsiteNewDiscoursesJamesLindsay et al.

This tweet might have something to do with this - a criticism that in asserting itself as an alternative to the progressive values of contemporary universities - #EDUUSUniversityOfAustinUATX are effectively demonstrating that they are in fact more closely aligned to conservative values. The fact that scholars such as Harvard's #IRLScholarStevenPinker and #EDUUSUniversityOfChicago's chancellor #IRLScholarRobertJZimmer have resigned from their board of advisers i.e. https://news.uchicago.edu/story/statement-chancellor-robert-j-zimmer-his-role-university-austin over (competitive) claims made by #EDUUSUniversityOfAustinUATX that other universities aren't providing what they describe as "intellectual grit" seems telling e.g. "In American politics, to claim the mantle of open inquiry -- and a merit-based, rationalist freedom from ideological dogma -- is to claim the moral high ground. But in doing just that, UATX has accidentally affirmed the criticism of the most left-leaning culture critics who loudly protest that there's no such thing as truth or objectivity. Based on its current intellectual coterie, the university's self-proclaimed "independence" looks a lot like an attempt to re-assert the dominance of its participants' own values."https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/11/17/university-austin-bari-weiss-pinker-culture-politics-522800

#WebsiteSalonEmileTorres "New Atheism appeared to offer moral clarity, it emphasized intellectual honesty and it embraced scientific truths about the nature and workings of reality. It gave me immense hope to know that in a world overflowing with irrationality, there were clear-thinking individuals with sizable public platforms willing to stand up for what's right and true -- to stand up for sanity in the face of stupidity.
Fast-forward to the present: What a grift that was! Many of the most prominent New Atheists turned out to be nothing more than self-aggrandizing, dogmatic, irascible, censorious, morally compromised people who, at every opportunity, have propped up the powerful over the powerless, the privileged over the marginalized. This may sound hyperbolic, but it's not when, well, you look at the evidence. So I thought it might be illuminating to take a look at where some of the heavy hitters in the atheist and 'skeptic' communities are today. What do their legacies look like? In what direction have they taken their cultural quest to secularize the world?" https://www.salon.com/2021/06/05/how-the-new-atheists-merged-with-the-far-right-a-story-of-intellectual-grift-and-abject-surrender/

Supplementary: #NMUSNationalPublicRadioNPRGeneDemby "People invent new words for emotionally charged referents, but soon the euphemism becomes tainted by association, and a new word must be found, which soon acquires its own connotations, and so on. [...] Even the word 'minority' -- the most neutral word label conceivable, referring only to relative numbers -- was banned in 2001 by the San Diego City Council ... because it was deemed disparaging to nonwhites. ... The euphemism treadmill shows that concepts, not words, are primary in people's minds. Give a concept a new name, and the name becomes colored by the concept; the concept does not become freshened by the name, at least not for long. Names for minorities will continue to change as long as people have negative attitudes toward them. We will know that they have achieved mutual respect when the names stay put." https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/11/07/362273449/why-we-have-so-many-terms-for-people-of-color #IRLScholarStevenPinker #2002_TheBlankSlateTheModernDenialOfHumanNature i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blank_Slate
