@akareilly
I have exactly two thoughts:
a) why do the few names that I recognize on that list not surprise me
b) what is the rationale for "we don't believe in consequences for people who did actual harm whose claim that there should be consequences for people who did no harm"
(To (b), I know I should stop looking for logic, it's a fool's errand).
Likewise, I didn’t recognise many names and the ones I did spot were ones I wouldn’t want my name associated with for other reasons. I wonder if the people signing it p knew the company they’d be keeping. I also wonder about the PhD students signing it and how many were pressured into it.
@akareilly *of course* Steven Pinker is there. FFS
Look at this list and wonder like I did about the number of people who interact with and have power over Black disabled people.
What the hell are future doctors and researchers learning about healthcare ethics at Linköping University? There is a rheumatologist and at least one psychologist on this list, too.
When Black people tell you that healthcare and therapy are not safe, believe them!
