      6/ Let me give a concrete example. Imagine you think that aggregate nat'l-lvl social statistics are a weighted average of the characteristics of the sub-populations that make up the whole. So for example.... oh idk.... say you had an island and moved ppl onto it from elsewhere

      7/ Say you bring 10% of the population from Nigeria, and 10% from Guatemala, and 20% from Sicily, and the rest from England avg height on your island will be a weighted avg of avg heights of source-populations avg lifespan will be a weighted avg of avg lifespans of sources

      8/ & also avg weight, & avg iq, & avg susceptibility to various hereditary diseases, & avg rate of murder per 100k, & avg annual savings rate... Some stats might be changed in new envir'mt or by cross-group interactions, but 1st-order they result from avg'ing (by hypothesis)

      9/ This means: you can't just pass a healthcare law w/ goal of getting arbitrarily long lifespans, b/c you think the major determinant is the source populations. & also you can't just bring murder rate to 0 w/ strict criminal law, b/c again: linear combination of subpopulations

      10/ Here is my point. Why has attempted murder (along with many other categories of crime) skyrocketed since 19th c? Reactionaries all want to solve. NRx'ers say a sover'n state can clearly promulgate a law & clearly enforce it, and that ends murder: problem is political process

      11/ The hypothesis that different sub-pops have different murder rates (& so on for other categories of crime), so *ofc* if you add other groups to NYC or Rotherham you're going to get crime rates closer to their ancestral avg, is a different and mutually exclusive explanation!

      12/ If [nebulous ideological origin of progressivism] causes political gridlock causes legal ambiguity causes suffering, then the excess suffering can't be attributed to demographic changes. Conversely if it's exactly what you'd expect from a linear combination of sub-pops...

      13/ ... "leftism" doesn't explain anything except to the extent that leftism causes or is a reflex of the demographic changes. (Have we drifted far away from "is politics meaningful," "is originalism coherent"? Be patient...)

      14/ The awkward cases for #NRx are something like SAfrica or Congo. Do you *really* think your sovcorp could, with sufficiently judicious bloodshed, reduce the population to compliance with any arbitrary set of "good laws"? If not - could you do it in India? In Greece?

      Replying to @QuasLacrimas

      Yes and no. You need a certain type of man to run the SovCorp and you need some number of a certain type of man to serve as executives in the SovCorp Right now, the answer is "no" because the fertility of those types of men is too low for there to be excess sons for those roles

      The lack of sons is the direct result of the failure of society to sexually restrain women. No solution to any civilizational problem is possible without solving this issue.
