Argh! (not COVID related) [View all]

I occasionally post answers, usually about things related to the brain, on Quora. These include rebuttals of right brain/ left brain theory and of the idea that one can become more creative by 'stimulating' the right brain. Today I was informed that three of my posts on the subject were being hidden as against Quora policy. None of these posts were recent, so I assume that some fanatic of the right/left brain theory is going over posts and reporting anything that he doesn't agree with, and possibly there are fewer people involved in moderation than usual. There was nothing political, personally abusive, etc. about any of the posts. I have appealed. I know that it's trivial compared with the Coronavirus, but to some extent another reflection of the anti-science attitudes that contribute to the spread of the virus.
