    Virtue-signaling. So hot right now. Here's my recent book about its origins, functions, & motives, and its civilizational pros & cons: https://amzn.to/2PTe0NH pic.twitter.com/0KsGzDW03B

        I've heard your defense of virtue signaling, and I thought it spot on. However, that was before this recent spasm of madness. What do you make of the massive intensification of virtue signaling over the past few weeks?

        It's catastrophic. I've been tweeting a fair amount about it. America had lost its collective mind, IMHO.

        I've noticed that the kind of virtue signaling has undergone a shift recently. The pretense of valuing a claim for it's truth value has been completely dropped. Leftist use to say ridiculous stuff about say there being no intelligence heritability. They would have spurious...

        arguments for the truth value of those claims. That part is gone now. The claim itself stands on it's moral value alone where as before there was at least some pretense to the claim also being rooted in truth as well as morality. I like this shift. It makes things much clearer.

        Really enjoyed the signalling discussion on @sbkaufman podcast. Looking forward to the future intelligence discussion.

        It's an effective and low cost pro-social signal. All you have to do is change your icon and viola! You're woke and the ladies will love you.
