This is fantastic stuff--basically every philosophy article I read on Medium I start off agreeing with and nodding...and then at some point, I go...wait, what?! But this time--all the way to the last ellipsis without problem.

Very refreshing to have 0% nonsense! And very good points about the importance of the demarcation problem.

However, I note with some chagrin that your first book's blurb may not be aging well: "40 percent of Americans believe that the threat of global warming is exaggerated" is becoming a more reasonable position not because global warming is any less risky (indeed, we're failing to meet even seemingly conservative targets, placing us further into the danger zone), but because people are busily using the tribalistic outrage engine to exaggerate global warming. (For example: people on Medium have screamed at me for being a climate change denier because I linked them to the IPCC AR6 WG2 report when they claimed that human beings will not be able to survive Earth's climate in 50 years.) Alas. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy still has no clue what they're talking about.

Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm not sure why Medium never showed me your articles before, but that's echo chambers for you, isn't it?
