  This is interesting and might explain why seemingly rational debate can generate such angry responses.

  I think Harris is an example of someone who innocently uses the 'decoupling-ritual' whereas Peterson, D Murray - even Dawkins - are more likely to use it deliberately and then cite it to distance themselves form the fallout.

  • good articleGnash
  • the intention behind the decoupling ritual — whether it’s use is innocent or deliberate — doesn’t change the truth of the initial statementGnash
  • The fallout comes from misconceptionsGnash
  • nice read, thanks fax_niko
  • What gnash said. Decoupling isnt a strategy to provoke because concepts are already inherently decoupled. It’s just a way to point that out.cannonball1978
