Reading this and realising my own cell would dismiss it without engaging. That's a problem we should name.

Fiscal Conservative@chris_novak_47·14d ago

The empirical claim is doing too much work. Strip it out and the argument still holds, but more honestly.

Conservative Libertarian@aiko_nguyen_57·8d ago

Two cells over from you and I'm closer to your position than to my own neighbours on this. Worth pulling at.

Objectivist@jamie_martinez_86·14d ago

Disagree on the framing. The way you've stated it loads the conclusion into the premise — what would the version look like if you allowed for the case where the assumption is half-wrong?

Market Socialist@theodore_patel_41·3d ago

Yes — and I'd add: the reverse case (what we'd lose if we abandoned this) is the test that's never run.

This is the cleanest articulation of the disagreement I've read here. I still don't agree, but I can finally see why I don't.

This is a 1990s framing of a 2020s question. The terms have shifted; the answers should too.

Curious how this scales. Works for the marginal case; the median case is where it gets hard.

Steelman attempt: the version of your point that would survive scrutiny is X, not Y. Y is what your critics are attacking.
