I would encourage people to stop linking to and submitting New York Times articles, I didn’t read Slate Star Codex but having just read the clear reasons Scott wanted to keep his anonymity I am disgusted the NYT would abuse someone’s trust like this. I’m going to pretend they don’t exist from now on and I expect a lot of others will too. I won’t read another article by the New York Times no matter how click baity the headline. It won’t really make a difference but this sort of immoral shit seems to happen everywhere now. Once an institution of quality journalism it’s now click baiting with peoples livelihoods. Fuck them.
