    There are so many things wrong with every single Hawley quote in this article, it’s like he’s pioneering a new subgenre of intellectual failure. He’s not just wrong on the facts, or the descriptions, or the correlations; he’s blending all of it into a dense, swirling vortex of confident nonsense, that’s somehow more structurally unsound than the sum of its parts. And I’m about 78% sure he knows exactly what he’s doing. I just can’t decide whether that’s impressive, or evidence of some latent morlockian genetic ability to produce lies so elaborate and self-assured, that they short-circuit your instinct to question them.
