We already have evidence that Gleb has been hiring meat puppets from third world countries to help promote his organization on LW. Can we just ban him already?
You're analyze the affect of police presence entirely based on the direct affect on radicalization. You don't even analyze the intended effect of the police presence, or it's effect on the main causes, e.g., radical imans in mosques, social pressure from more radical Muslims.
But nothing says you're not allowed to examine all your past experience during each encounter, and reconstruct those same priors.
That wouldn't statisfy them, since the recomputed priors would be the same as the "racist" priors they want to get rid off.
Well, they're rhetoric argues we should completely eliminate priors. Since that's impossible (in fact incoherent) in practice they wind up making an exception for priors that look as little like priors as possible.
Overcoming bias is a strong goal in SJ.
Except that what they mean by "bias" is much closer to what LW means by "priors" than what we mean by "bias".
