@thespandrell@TheWhig A theory of Leftism (L) L = consequence of variance in 5 moral taste-buds in group (@JonHaidt 2012). Var 1: Less in-group loyalty -> L more open to bring others in. L gets “cancerous” to group when the others stay loyal to own in-groups, but L ignores.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

It seems to me that some amount of “leftism” (in the sense of low in-group loyalty) is adaptive in homogenous societies. Less clannish, less corrupt, more inclined to abstract idealism, etc. But in a modern multiracial/multiculti context, it seems maladaptive & thus suicidal.

Yes. Libertarians are more like progressives in expressing less in-group loyalty than conservatives. Ed Dutton
@jollyheretic describes genius individuals as ‘high-IQ criminals’, i.e., the Faustian spirit, which probably includes most great scientists & innovators.2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

NRx literature addresses alliance of libertarian techno-commercialism with conservative religious and/or ethnic traditionalism & nationalism. Think roughly: Peter Thiel, Mike Pence, & Pepe the Frog. http://neoreaction.net/bestofnrx.html

Peter Thiel, Mike Pence, and Pepe the Frog walk into a bar, which falls ominously silent. The bar-keeper asks: "So what kind of reaction did you expect?"
