This reads (at least to me) as taking a softer line than the original piece, so there’s not as much I disagree with, and quite a lot that’s closer to my own thinking too. I might add more later, but this was already a useful exchange for me, so thanks again for writing and for the reply! I have upvoted (I upvoted the original also), and I hope you find your interactions on here constructive.
Edit: One thing that seems worth acknowledging: I agree there is a distinctive form of ‘meta-’ reflection that is required if you want be meaningfully inclusive, and my reply didn’t capture that with ‘listen to diverse viewpoints, use that to update very hard...‘. I think your ‘challenge the knowledge architecture’ phrase is fuzzy but is getting at something useful, as the process definitely involves updating your heuristics around what sorts of contributions are valuable (versus e.g. just listening to people from different backgrounds for contributions that you consider valuable). I am inclined to credit social movements and not critical theory with figuring out how to do this though, and participating in social movements with being the best way to get better at it yourself!
