Third-culture globalist kids growing up to be cosmopolitans working out of third places are a kind of Star Trek fantasy now. But we have zeroth-culture kids growing up zoom-schooled en masse. Will they retreat into a conservative/trad Narnia fantasy as adults? I’ll bet yes.

This sort of prediction requires a definition of what "conservative" means. This is not mere quibbling. Does it mean "Republican", "christian", "thinks the past was better", "don't step on snek", Haidt's loyalty+disgust stuff, ...? 1/

Certain human characteristics are permanent (Haidt) but how they get harnessed by political entrepreneurs is contingent (Gingrich and Trump as modern-day Leninists calling what they are doing "conservative"). 2/
