This is a reposting of an essay by Matthew Lutz, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Wuhan University. You can find more at his Substack, Humean Being. He works mostly on metaethics, and if you want to know what "metaethics" is, you can check out his book (with Spencer Case), Is Morality Real?: A Debate. He is also a frequent contributor at Persuasion. One last personal note.

These initiatives are championed as tools to reduce bias and discrimination, build inclusive and empathetic environments — and redress systemic racism, Yet the effectiveness of such trainings has rarely been rigorously and systematically evaluated.

Longstanding and attentive subscribers have probably gotten used to me debunking woke nonsense masquerading as science. And lord knows there is plenty of that. But the woke are not always wrong. This essay is based on ideas developed in two of my team’s published papers (here and here). That second paper is mostly my usual fare, including scientific critiques of research on implicit bias, microaggressions and stereotype threat.

This sort of comment was very predictable. (ht @PTetlock).
Not much in forecasting annoys me more than "this was very predictable" from people who did not make any predictions about it before it happened. I think you'll find that when you try to predict things *before* things happen, you're wrong a lot! It's easy to predict the past!
