Regarding: https://medium.com/intellectual-explorers-club/memetic-tribes-and-culture-war-2-0-14705c43f6bb

Well done. This is perhaps the best work, and possibly the only meaningful work, I have seen on the ‘Tribes’. (I’ve written about the right tribes as a class hierarchy. I haven’t worked on the left’s Tribes but I suppose it’s obvious.)

By way of compliment, If I could add any value to your work at all, it’s:

a) As we grow wealthier (less constrained) we are all seeking divergence (specialization) that exercises our preferences rather than the predicted convergence on a uniform preference.

b) That we can AFFORD to diverge (specialize or speciate) because we are wealthy enough to produce commons serving our interests.

c) That the Tribes reflect the spectrum from the feminine (herd, proportionality, equality) to masculine (pack, reciprocity, meritocracy-hierarchy) reproductive strategies. And therefore we are both able to seek and it’s in our reproductive interests (and therefore our psychological demands, expressed as political demands) to seize the opportunity for speciation.

d) That majority Democracy, and particularly first-past-the-post majoritarian democracy (equality of vote) produces a monopoly of outcomes that favors the major party with cyclical rebellions against overreach by the minority party. That democracy provides only a means of resolving differences in priority but not difference in objectives. And these differences in objectives are not bridgeable because they are not arbitrary but genetic and immutable.

e) There that the only solution to such demand is not the fallacy of continuing to ‘understand and compromise’ when ‘demand’ for OPPOSING commons simply continues to increase, but to either separate (secession) or devolve the production of commons from the federal governments to the states, so that the nationalists (masculine packs), and globalists (feminine herds) can end the artificial constraint of monopoly democracy and develop commons more suitable to their reproductive interests.

Everyone thought they would win. The British-German belief in the aristocracy of everyone. The French-Ashkenazi murderers of aristocracy of a peasantry of everyone.

Everyone was wrong. And we have given up attempting to reconcile our differences.

And we are within a year or two of a civil war the scope of which has never been seen before if we continue to pursue a winner-takes-all strategy.
