      That's credential inflation not elite overproduction.

      We need some clearer terms. "Elite overproduction" as I've understood the term is like in Farewell to Alms where there's downward social mobility due to excess upper class reproduction. Excess sons move downward. This use is the opposite.pic.twitter.com/qWQA8NL6bA

      Opposite and not incisive I think - power *has* expanded radically to more and more stakeholders (all of whom get veto power but no one has power to say "yes" to anything). Observe the 900 person zoom call in the securing of the election. Far more than 100 Senators + 435 Reps.pic.twitter.com/pbhorPLvko

      The elite overproduction model is used to point out periods of instability which Turchin claims are rapidly approaching. For example look at his writing on lawyers. There are more lawyers graduating than society needs. Lawyers tend to be very political types and ambitious.

      Look at journalism and how they very clearly try to stifle their competition with their latest jabs on substack. The institutional journalists want to keep clamping down on rising DIY type journalists and this is a recipe for social conflict. In an aristocracy elites are born

      In a Democracy elites are both born and created through education and wealth accumulation. There's essentially more ways to become elite in Democracy, but if there's too many elites then they have to compete with each other over who has power.

      Nah, the problem isn't that they're competing for limited slots - his model there is just plain wrong - formal power (100 Senators) isn't the only kind and isn't even the most important kind. The problem is that more of them really are getting power and a larger elite is worse.

      He doesn't limit it to just politicians, though I think Peter Turchin isn't a Neoreactionary, I think his views can be integrated into NRX more than a replacement. While NRX explains that woke is essentially a religion, this elite overproduction explains the process thatpic.twitter.com/zcmEbIeGRy

      Well ya this should be rather obvious, @CovfefeAnon should stop acting as if this has to do only with modern leftism and liberal democracy. It happened in Imperial China all the time.

      The essential feature of leftism is that it's an alliance for coordination in group power seeking It has a few rules that allow this coordination the most important of which is "in a dispute, always defer to the more leftist". This strategy can certainly exist in other contexts

          Democratic governance is particularly vulnerable because democratic governance is almost immediately replaced by oligarchical rule.

          Yes, but I'm arguing against your statement that they "aren't competing for limited slots." No, that's a very real thing that is part of the problem. There were too many people taking civil service exams in Imperial China and there are too many in college today.

          Turchin is blinkered when he says things like "there are only 535 congressional offices and state legislators hope to rise to them". There are unlimited slots on the 900 person zoom call. The result isn't competition for fixed slots, it's destructive expansion of slots.
