@marick I think Diamond has held up better – I haven’t seen accusations of the outright misrepresentation in service of right-wing tropes which characterizes Haidt’s big books - but I think you’re right to reconsider contrarianism. It’s such an easy path to a rush of self-satisfaction that I think it almost inevitably leads to errors over time as the writer relaxes their self-doubt – Nate Silver used to be a better writer when he had to worry about what an editor would say, too.
