So you're saying you're incompetent at your job, got it.
Well it depends on how one define's his "job." As a tenure-track professor, one could argue that his primary job is to make a good impression on his tenure committee. From that perspective, publishing an op-ed which implies that rationalism just happens to support left-wing foreign policy is probably a pretty good idea. So one could say that he's doing his job rather well.
I believe I am competent at my job. You claim I am incompetent. I'd like to make a bet with you about whether an external outsider would judge me as competent at my job. How about $1000? Take the bet, or take back your claims.
I notice you did not, have not thought this whole thread, presented arguments in your favor, or even addressed my arguments. I'd be willing to take the bet, I propose brasil84 as the judge. If you want to propose a different judge, I's want to verify that he is himself competent to judge and isn't biased towards you.
So are you taking the bet? Are you comfortable with Viliam as a judge? I'd also be happy with John_Maxwell, gjm, or another prominent Less Wronger.
I'd suggest Viliam, as a well-known Less Wronger and neutral observer.
