ON PSYCHOPATHY & SCHIZOPHRENIA Dear Hussain Sola, You make some good points in your letter, however, I respectfully disagree with them. In your letter, you talk about how psychopathy and schizophrenia do not actually exist, but the symptoms of them that reside in individuals do. Also, you mention how they are actually the same exact thing, and you mention the common factors that science provides. I completely agree that OPEN LETTER TO IBRAM X. KENDI Dear Ibram X. Kendi, I’m writing you this letter in the hope that you and I can have a public conversation. As you know, the current moment is calling upon us more than ever to focus on issues of race, racism, and inequality.

Are The Methods Used By Science The Only Ways Of Knowing? By Jerry Coyne & Adam Gopnik8 Letters
10097 Reads
Updated 14 May '21
Dear Adam,
I’m hoping our back-and-forth will be useful not just for us, but for those who encounter the claim that science is only one way among many to gain knowledge. This idea is of course popular among religionists, who tout their own “ways of knowing”, but also among postmodernists who argue that knowledge is socially conditioned and “truth” overrated. But I suspect you’ll reject those positions and concentrate instead on art, music, and literature. Our question for discussion is: “Are the methods used by science the only ways of knowing?” I’ll take the “yes” side and presume you’ll go with the “no”. Let me say at once that I don’t think science is “better” than the arts. All my life I’ve found solace in art—especially literature. But science and art serve different...

Is the Culture War Lost? By Sarah Haider & Ayaan Hirsi Ali5 Letters

Updated 22 Feb '21
Dear Ayaan,
Let me begin with what I hope is obvious: I’m very excited and honored to have this discussion with you. I’m even more thrilled that our correspondence will NOT be centered on the topic people might expect from us—Islam. Instead, we will be focusing on the phenomenon commonly referred to as “wokeism.” However, as many have pointed out, wokeism is not entirely different from religion, so our experiences in addressing the excesses of Islam will be highly useful. In fact, it was my activism with religion that first drove me to investigate this issue many years ago. When I first began speaking publicly about Islam, I quickly found (as did you), that those whom I anticipated would be on our side viewed me with suspicion. Mycriticisms of Is...

Trump, and Post Trump By Lawrence Krauss & Noam Chomsky6 Letters

Dear Noam:
As always, it is a pleasure to have a dialogue with you, this time in writing as opposed to direct conversation. For this, the first of our three sets of written letter-dialogues I thought I would pick a timely topic, and then we can move broader and deeper. We are embroiled in the final weeks of what has seemed like an eternal election process that seemed to begin well before 2016, when antagonism toward the democratic candidate led some on the left to choose either not to vote, or, heaven forbid, to vote for Donald Trump. The line at the time from some on the left went something like this: “_Hillary Clinton isn’t Bernie Sanders, and qualitatively she isn’t that different than Trump. Whoever we elect will be in the pocket of large corporations and the milit..._Donald Trump

Dear Dan,
I have no idea how much interest there might be about disagreements among naturalists between the optimistic ones like you and the pessimistic ones like me. But I know I’d like to be convinced I’m mistaken. And you are probably the philosopher most likely to convinceme.
I think we both see the project of naturalism in philosophy as that of squaring science with as much as we can of what Wilfred Sellers called the manifest image—the informed non-scientists’ view of reality and of our knowledge of it, of human thought and action, ethical norms and values. Disenchanted naturalists like me think that we won’t succeed at this project, that natural science undermines most of what people think about these matters, even what scientists themselves believe, outside of th...Naturalism

The Meaning And Legacy Of Humanism: A Sharp Challenge From A PotentialAlly

Dear Dr. Harari,
My name is Andy Norman, and I count myself a fan of your work. I admire your clarity, your passion for big ideas, and your commitment to clear, accessible writing. I think your books—_Sapiens_ and _Homo Deus_—are landmark achievements, destined to stimulate reflection for generations to come. I learned a great deal from them. I’m reaching out on behalf of the Council for Secular Humanism and the American Humanist Association. My charge is twofold: (1) to communicate a concern shared by thousands of self-identified humanists, and (2) to respectfully request your consideration. I ask that you hear me out. Our concerns center, as you might imagine, on your portrayal of humanism. What you present as humanism bears little resemblance tothe...

The Torment and Tragedy of Teenage Girls By Abigail Shrier & Heather Heying6 Letters

Dear Heather,
In July of 2019, I interviewed a prominent Canadian plastic surgeon who removes healthy breasts for a living. For a little more than 8 thousand Canadian clams, he and a growing number of surgeons perform “top surgery” on girls sixteen and up who claim to have gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex. No outside diagnosis by a mental health professional need be made. In the course of writing my book, Irreversible Damage, I heard the rationale for providing these surgeries so often, it came to feel humdrum: Though “Mary” might look like a girl down to the last cell of her body, in an important if ineffable sense, she was somehow really a man. Removing such a girl’s breasts are, from this perspective, like removing any other unwant...Peer Contagion

Brexit: A Conversation Across the Divide By Ian Dunt & Robert Tombs6 Letters

Updated 03 Dec '20
Hi Robert,
First of all, thanks for doing this. I've always been a fan of your work and I was delighted to find, when I called you for advice on both my books, that you were the kind of person who would take time out to help someone even when it was for a project they disagreed with. We live in a period in which debates are increasingly defined by tribalism and a lack of sincerity, so it's really reassuring to find people on the other side of the Brexit divide who are good humoured and polite about things. Increasingly it feels like a radical act to be civil and to try to understand another's perspective, so these letters feel like a tremendously healthy thing to be doing. I thought it would be instructive for us to lay out what we'd like tosee in ...

Dear James,
Thank you so much for taking part in this letters exchange. I think that we agree on quite a lot when it comes to sexual politics. We’re both interested in understanding the ways that sex and dating have changed in recent decades, and we’re both critical of some of those changes. To the extent that we disagree, I suspect it’s simply a matter of emphasis: I’m more interested in the female experience, and you’re more interested in the male experience. I hope that in this exchange we can explore both perspectives. I come at this issue from a feminist position, but not a conventional one. I’m aligned with radical feminists on some issues, like theharms of

An Open Letter to the Australian Sociological Association By Petra Bueskens & Open Letters1 Letters

Updated 19 Jan '21
This week I informed my professional association The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) about an op-ed I wrote called “An Apology to J K Rowling”
that had been announced as the most read and shared article in _Areo magazine_ in 2020. TASA have a general call for members’ publications in their electronic newsletter and I added this (among several publications) to the list. TASA wrote a congratulations Tweet that led to a number of my colleagues accusing TASA and myself of“transphobia”.
The post was subsequently taken down ...Academia

On The US Election, Critical Social Justice & Liberal Leftism By Helen Pluckrose & Open Letters1 Letters

Updated 20 Oct '20
Dear American liberal lefties, I hear the arguments some of you are making for voting Republican for the first time next month. I understand that you fear that a vote for the Democrats while radical "Social Justice" ideas are at their greatest ever influence is tantamount to enabling those ideas to embed themselves deeper into vital institutions. You think there is a credible threat that this will lead to the dismantlement of freedom of belief and speech, the further institutionalisation of Critical Social Justice beliefs in government, employment, media and education, the undermining of science and the stoking of racist identity politics that divide Americans and threaten to roll back decades of progress onrace relations.
You tell me you don't like Trump and...Liberal leftism
