TBH, I can't believe he'd be dumb enough to post that Tweet.

I’m not shocked, he’s totally on the spectrum, almost off it in fact. It’s part of what makes him interesting.

Maybe there’s some ableist woke defense for the neuro-atypical professor.

Okay, that makes more sense.

He was the guy behind prediction markets, he even had a contract with the DoD to build one predicting terrorist events which was canceled once people framed it as ‘giving people the ability to profit off of death’ or whatever.

More recently he was the most prominent proponent of “variolation”, or intentional infection of volunteers with low levels of virus to move us to herd immunity.

You know the great conceling is upon us when GMU professors aren’t safe.

Seriously Horace?

Getting back to this, I don’t think we could find a finer Concelebrant than Horace.

Yes, it was a foolish thing to tweet and should. Yes, we need to GROW A THICKER SKIN.

Times are too good...

"Join Twitter to get the full story. . ."

No thanks.

Twitter is what you get when you allow an infinite amount of comments on 'news items'.

Give me the non-commented news sites any day.

If for no other reason than the source seems better to understand that their job is to present the news and not solicit their readers' opinion of it.

@Mik Agree. We should invite all these people to participate in this forum board!! LOL

I love Dave Chappelle.

I suppose I'll get the story about this at some point but what will it be other than signing something with a gun pointed at your career?

He's brilliant but nowadays the narrative is his reality. He's as angry and righteous about white cops murdering black folk as anybody.

[Horace]

this will present an opportunity for Cowen and Caplan and anybody else in that department to take a principled stand against the mob. Let's see if they take it.

[jon-nyc]

I’m not sure we would see it. They could only lobby the inquisitors.

I wonder if he'd get in trouble if he asked folks if they eat shepherd's pie and drink guinness for St Patricks Day? How dare he stereotype Irish Americans!

I hadn't seen that - I know it's not something anybody here seems to want to accept, and feel free to write me off as a brain-dead liberal as you see fit, but maybe, just maybe, he has a point? Maybe there is actually some truth to the narrative.

I honestly don't know. I'm not black. I've lived a very privileged life. I've never been pulled over because I'm driving a car that doesn't seem to fit my demographic. What I do know is that when I hung out with a bunch of Pakistani kids for a few years in the UK, they frequently had to endure all kinds of shit that I'd never come across.
