Thanks for this. It's the first I've heard of 'standpoint epistemology' and the first I've seen these kinds of arguments (and I only occasionally read well-written arguments like this on Saidit). The usual excuse that we need greater inclusivity in the workplace makes sense to me, though I think and/or would agree that it does come at a great cost: that the inclusive dialogue does not protect/include those of us who enjoy sarcasm. It can shut down honest, open dialogue in the workplace. Inclusivity should, it would seem, involve the tolerance so-called microaggressions or sarcasm. It's not even up for discussion at the woke workplace. Like me, many at Saidit are contrarians who've likely offended with "microaggressions" the sensitive folks at Reddit (but I also offend people here at Saidit).Thanks for the informative response.
