"Conservatives are neater than progressives. If you take photos of their rooms, you know, the cleanliness of organization, you can predict how they vote." (12:40) Moldbug's left/right definition fits neatly in here. The right is order, the left is chaos.

"We did a factor analysis of politically correct beliefs and found exactly that and that the illiberal left is also high in orderliness [...] and was also characterized by a marked lack of verbal intelligence." (55:43) Fundamentalism & orderliness → forms of fascism.

Haidt: "it's almost like the immune system [...] there's some cell that tags a cell as, you know, enemy! enemy! and once that tag is put on the cell that attracts other other kinds of cells to mob it" I wonder who may have used this metaphor before.

Haidt: "There are only two stable equilibria. One is that every organization is just either all right wing or all left wing, but that would be disastrous." (1:03:30)

Haidt: "The other is what we call the Chicago principles of free expression. [...] The university provides a platform on which multiple views can contest; the university does not take any one side. That's the only other stable alternative." (1:03:40) Conquest's 2nd law, though.

Haidt: "I know that evaluations of his program in America show it anywhere from 0-20% reductions, so much smaller in the U.S." (1:24:07) Increased trustlessness in multicultural societies, I'd wager. Quite a bit of research done on this in cities like Vancouver.

"So if some universities choose to devote themselves to social justice, that's fine, just be up-front about it. Say so, so students will know if you want social justice training, go to Brown" (1:33:25) Not possible. Cathedral synchronization effect spreads this everywhere.

If businesses could single out students from Brown and just not hire them because they don't want radicals in the office, they would. That neuters activism factories, so radicals naturally find their way into academic posts everywhere else first.

But the government would hire from Brown.
