I just read your replies and I don't think you were censored. Also, you could probably repost the deleted comment in the Open Thread here at overcoming bias without it being "censored".

I think your contrasting between "judeo/christian" vs. "lassiez faire/darwinian/nazi" economic public policy is unhelpful for enlightenment or for best policy formation. But I do think you're being baited into that framework by folks like Caplan -so I think it's an emergent problem from what I called the "polarization bias dance party" between Left/Right types. Both groups seem to be satisfying mutual psychological needs by reducing policy discussion to these two polarized points, but I think it's far from optimal in terms of actually determining best policy (to maximize my (or our) persistence odds).

Summary: I responded to the comments made by Hopefully Anonymous, TGGP and Jim Outen.

Body: Available here.

Conclusion: The opinions I expresssed were censored. Allowing a link to elsewhere is in no way the equivalent of not deleting the possibly offending comments from the very conversation where they are relevant.
