Here are two examples of something. A sad story erupted a few weeks ago in academic economics, in which one well-known professor accused another well-known professor of (kind of) sexual harassment. The names are known in the community, and I won’t mention them here. I want to think about a broader social process, I’m only going to use some broad-brush impressions of the specific case, and for the avoidance of doubt, I have no special inside knowledge. I am just going on what is publicly available. So I’m not here to adjudicate Professor A versus Professor B, but to think about something more general. (It is kind of inevitable that by doing so, I risk doing injury to the truth of a specific case. I think the risk is worthwhile.)
