I'm not sure what he was accused of specifically. I thought it was that he had dinners with Epstein. I hadn't heard he advised him. That'd be next level bad. However, I don't think that changes his analysis. Either it's valid or not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] gtrcoi@programming.dev 1 point 4 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago* (2 children) Imagine if all the physics Hawking wrote became invalid because he knew a sex trafficker.

The obvious relevance seems to be that it is a blatant ad hominem. I don't care if Chompsky is a boy scout or a boy scout rapist, in the context of evaluating his arguments. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] gtrcoi@programming.dev 1 point 4 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
