OK, this is my favorite thing SlateStarCodex has ever done: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/03/04/prospiracy-theories/

presenting true facts like they're insane conspiracy theories. what if Obama... ISN'T FROM AFRICA AT ALL? what if the GOVERNMENT had a SECRET RESEARCH PROGRAM to reach THE MOON in the 1960s?

OMG that is GR8.

I have massive issues with Slate Star Codex (to slightly oversimplify he doesn't believe in racism or sexism and he thinks women lie rampantly about sexual assault.) But hey, I guess I'm glad he's using some of his power for good.

oh man, I'm so sorry -- that sucks. :///

A lot of people I know like his analyses, but you know that thing some White guys do where they say "I'm a dispassionate judge of all unlike biased emotional women and POC" and they use one's emotions to invalidate one's learned experience? He's all about that. ANd his thoughts on feminism make me worry for the safety of his wife.

I tried with him, I really did, but I don't trust him and I find his influence worrisome.
