Was Peter Boghossian Silenced?via

>There do not appear to have been any large-scale public demands for Boghossian’s firing, and the university did not request his resignation. #Boghossian simply did not enjoy being unpopular and removed himself from his own job.
This goes back to 2021, but it's still valid for illustrating the state of some of the so-called #secular #rationalists, who are in fact trying to disguise an extremely conservative #ideology as mere #science.
#science #ideology #rationalists #secular #boghossian
#Reactionary #ideologies are probably among the most direct rabbit whole into #conspirationism, which is why it is not surprising to see people like Sam Harris or Eric Weinstein tumbling down through it. All despite their claims to be #PoliticallyIncorrect non-#woke #objective #rationalists!

Hello! We're @hantsskep - here's an #introduction to our group and what interests us.
We're a #UK #skeptics group based in 🕍 #Winchester run by a small band of passionately rational friends including @davethedrummer @ClioBel @malcolm901 @dejoslin
We love #criticalthinking #freethinkers #rationality #rationalists #evidence #skepticsinthepub
We meet up in person twice a month:
Once at The Winchester Club, Winchester for informal talks from guest speakers who have an evidence-based approach to their topic from diverse fields of expertise - e.g., #philosophy #journalism and #science
And once at The The Bishop on the Bridge, Winchester for our regular #social, where we get to know local like-minded people who share a #skeptical and #scientific view of the world we live in over drinks and food.
We're part of the #UK national #skeptics network, Skeptics in the Pub

Ok, definitely geeking out here, but I just learned that one of my favorite bloggers (Scott Alexander of http://slatestarcodex.com/) just linked to my Mastodon Is Better than Twitter blog post (https://www.codesections.com/blog/mastodon-elevator-pitch/).
I know that probably didn't bring as many people to the fediverse as when that post was on the #hackerNews front page, but it's personally *way* more exciting—it's very cool to get a link from someone I admire!
Any other #rationalists come because of that post (or here at all)?
