—“I don’t think there is a barrier that the pseudo-scientific nature of your position doesn’t merit. No.”—

Interesting, so, you would classify (a) analysis of incentives resulting in the phenomenon, (b) the results of tests of cognitive biases demonstrating the phenomenon, (c) Kuhn’s work in the scientific method (structure of scientific revolutions) in which the paradigm (orthodoxy) suppresses invention (heterodoxy), (d) the evidence of long running topical conflicts between orthodox and heterodox editing on the medium in question (Wikipedia), (e) and the social discord and shift in the economic viability of orthodox (mainstream) media that is caused by the availablilty of new lower coast media (the internet), (f) and the record in book editing, journal editing, and the peer review process of reinforcement of orthodox and rejection of heterodox arguments, as PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC?

Or is that analysis scientific precisely because it is the primary struggle the discipline of science struggles against? (it is, which is why Popper and Kuhn wrote about it).

Or more correctly, is your continued use of ad hom’s, name calling, rallying, and shaming merely a straw man – an attempt to lie. An act of fraud by which to defend your malinvestment in a pubescent ideology for the purpose of building personal decidability that results in unearned status signals and self worth? And your retaliation by fraud against me and others like me for having deprived you of your unearned self worth?

It’s OK. I know the answer. And by your bad manners, and childish antics, you’ve given the the opportunity to demonstrate it for everyone else.

Unfortunately the cost of demonstrating the childish antics of the emotionally, socially, intellectually, and economically infantilized is fairly high. And unfortunately, by paying that price I develop the reputation among the infantilized of “being an ass”, because the infantilized cannot bear the loss of their malinvestment. But I must do so out of self defense, and moral commitment, for the simple reason that the infantile, feminine, marxist use of gossip, rallying, and shaming in the absence of judicial duel, is the reason that the left was able to succeed in out-shouting the right.

Thus endeth the lesson.
