Who is claiming that implications inevitability?Shutting down a valid line of discussion because of someone deciding to make a fallacious analogy seems like a proposition that would essentially stop all scientific discussion of intelligence more broadly. Also a great argument for limiting free speech/scientific discussion in general. Thoughts are not inherently dangerous unless acted upon in a dangerous way and supposing that some are so dangerous that we should simply not speak of them seems like an action that should be considered more thoroughly beyond “someone might do something rash”
