The point is whether he's allowed to express his ideas without being punished for doing so. Evidently, in today's world, the answer is 'no'. That kind of social censorship is very bad for developing science. BTW it's interesting to note that the people who indulge in this kind of figurative book-burning are not the Trump supporters.

...Somerby wonders if the water incident was true. <br /><br />I wonder about this: “The response was furious, starting at his own school, where colleagues accused him of genetic determinism and tied the theory to Nazi eugenics, racism, sexism, sterilization and restrictions on immigration.”<br /><br />Somerby of course reduces this to his absurd “Wilson's last chapter had made him a Nazi! “<br /><br />It isn’t clear that Wilson’s colleagues ever actually called him a Nazi, but that won’t stop Somerby from insinuating that they did to make them seem ridiculous. <br /><br />And it also seems, upon careful reading, that it was not his colleagues who doused him with water, but an unconnected group. <br /><br />But who needs to be concerned about such details when you’re trying to jam this into your pre-conceived narrative?mhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937133532381705347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-61855228599938940492021-12-27T18:26:25.334-05:002021-12-27T18:26:25.334-05:00Steven Pinker also supports his views.

And every American Nazi and White Supremacist who ever came across his ideas. <br /><br />It is possible to be a sociobiologist without also supporting racism and sexism. An evolutionary perspective is held by most psychologists, for example, and it is the dominant paradigm in the life sciences, but that doesn't mean that Wilson's speculations are supported or were justified in his own time period.<br /><br />As noted above, the interplay between genetics and environment makes the nature/nurture argument obsolete and simplistic (as it always was, except now there is evidence of the complexity of how phenotypes emerge from genotypes). That's why it is suspect when someone jumps on Wilson's bandwagon so eagerly, as Somerby seems to be doing, we hope out of ignorance, but probably not.Not a rodenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216459357112547141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-86058938022610852152021-12-27T18:18:46.570-05:002021-12-27T18:18:46.570-05:00Hear hear

Many of the debates were among academics and I doubt Somerby knows how to conduct a search of academic literature.<br /><br />His search for a literal dousing with icewater should have produced the following result, easy to find with google:<br /><br />"Three years later Mr. Wilson was assaulted during a speech at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Demonstrators affiliated with the International Committee Against Racism carried anti-sociobiology placards (at least one displaying a swastika), seized the dais and dumped a pitcher of ice water on Mr. Wilson's head, chanting, "Wilson, you're all wet!" The episode "may be the only occasion in recent American history," Mr. Wilson writes, "on which a scientist was physically attacked, however mildly, simply for the expression of an idea."<br /><br />https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/12/06/specials/wilson-naturalist.html<br /><br />Wilson generalized way beyond his data, speculating about nature to defend the status quo, including racist and sexist viewpoints. It is right to be upset about that when scientists abuse their position as experts on something like ant behavior to speculate about subjects that have large consequences for women and racial minorities, to name a few. Academics understand this about Wilson while still appreciating his work on ant behavior. People like Somerby misuse his speculation to support their own biases. He isn't being criticized for being an "original thinker" but for having insufficient evidence to support his suggestions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-21736929409702539772021-12-27T18:18:27.073-05:002021-12-27T18:18:27.073-05:00According to this writeup, it was members of the &...According to this writeup, it was members of the "Committee Against Racism" who dumped the water. https://archive.scienceforthepeople.org/vol-10/v10n2/aaas-sociobiology-on-the-run/Bill Harshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094598931693185805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-17069071776227318562021-12-27T17:01:52.135-05:002021-12-27T17:01:52.135-05:00What mao means by evolutionary is just "It...What mao means by evolutionary is just "It's okay for me to encourage a being a chauvinist pig to women because I'm made of science."

We aren't familiar with the term "sociobiology", but it's probably the same thing.<br /><br />Evolutionary psychology is indeed a controversial subject, dear Bob. And, in fact, saying that '<i>behaviors</i> have biological underpinnings' seems quite extreme: <i>impulses</i> have biological underpinnings, but not behaviors.<br /><br />Of course none of it has anything to do with Nazism, except that your liberal cult is quite totalitarian.
