My favored direction: HBD + game theory + preference for civilization (and order/safety and usually tech progress) + survival.
@DouthatNYT -
@HbdNrx@DouthatNYT He's trying to gently introduce it to his delicate readership in the space of a column. -
@PorphyConob
@DouthatNYT I understand. It's not easy and he's really not allowed to say too much. -
@HbdNrx@DouthatNYT I'm sure at least half his readership had Victorian-style faux-fainting spells and triggering episodes as it was.

@hbdnrx@douthatnyt Reactionaries don't really have a core, since they're primarily rejectionists. Somewhere between de Maistre &#Stirner. -
@UnionisedEgoist
@DouthatNYT I don't agree with that, at least with respect to#NRx -
@hbdnrx@douthatnyt The core of#NRx seems to be that systems and popularity are no substitute for good men and truth. -
@UnionisedEgoist
@DouthatNYT that's a pretty good statement. -
@hbdnrx@douthatnyt That summary is mostly Brett from#Amerika + Nick Land. Though the critique itself has antecedents in de Maistre & Mises -
It would make sense for
@DouthatNYT and@Outsideness to have a long talk, imo. @UnionisedEgoist -
@hbdnrx@douthatnyt@outsideness I just need to move to#China already. Fucking#Yankees pain me.
