I must have thought Robinson was worth reading at one time before but saved it in the wrong place so that I ended up forgetting about it. I also agree that Scott Alexander at least makes an attempt not to write mindless crap and often succeeds.Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544041532485510036.post-46409959200061763062016-12-12T11:48:14.199-08:002016-12-12T11:48:14.199-08:00Let me add that imho this young guy writes interes...Let me add that imho <a href="https://twitter.com/nathanjrobinson" rel="nofollow">this young guy</a> writes <a href="https://www.currentaffairs.org/author/curaffairs" rel="nofollow">interesting stuff</a> and is worth a bookmark. wolfgangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544041532485510036.post-12338946199897029392016-12-12T11:40:35.824-08:002016-12-12T11:40:35.824-08:00>> he's still just guessing like everyb...>> he's still just guessing like everybody else<br /><br />Yes and I don't agree with everything he wrote.<br />But it is somewhat close to how I think about this election (this also applies to SlateStarCodex). <br />wolfgangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544041532485510036.post-31585884796399775212016-12-12T08:33:43.680-08:002016-12-12T08:33:43.680-08:00From the article, "You can’t persuade them, b...From the article, "You can’t persuade them, because they’re racists, and racism is an irrational feeling."<br /><br />I agree with the things you quoted from the article because they happen to fit my view, but he's still just guessing like everybody else.
