I continue to search for a deeper reason why proggies reliably win against conservatives.

Indeed. But which deep part? There's the obvious guilt / original sin hypothesis. There's the injustice hypothesis. I'm putting forward the tediucracy hypothesis.

Not sure I have an answer less vague than 'the thing that helped keep the tribe alive.'
-
I have to disagree. The tribe stayed the same for hundreds of thousands of years. It was megafragilistic conservative. Should have bred proggies right out.

Im not convinced, but does it not seem plausible that justice/egalitarian facade was the cheapest way to maintain an ingroup cooperation equilibrium?
-
It wouldn't have worked unless it was real justice, which is inherently, again, megafragilistic conservative.
-
Unless it was <interpreted as> real justice.

Unreal justice harms the productive and rewards the parasite. No tribe can survive that. Indeed that is the core proximate reason the West is now falling.

We need to be talking about Net harm. A high cost activity [monkey-justice] can persist if it contributes to something more vital [cooperation]. Szabo's social scalability concept. http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2017/02/money-blockchains-and-social-scalability.html?m=1 …
