    WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT?

    —“What *happened* to the right? Despite the fact that I lean right I often find myself embarrassed by the state of modern conservative thought and its aggressively anti-intellectual tendencies. Today’s conservatives can’t seem to accept evolution or articulate a coherent vision of right-wing principles and theory, yet they descend from De Maistre, Evola, Burke, Mises, Rand, and similar thinkers. Other than you, Moldbug, and a handful of libertarians like Tom Woods and Bob Murphy there is almost nothing interesting happening. What went wrong?”— A Friend

    They couldn’t find an answer to social darwinism and the fact that western civilization is in fact, darwinian – and that this darwinianism is the reason for our success.

    What do you do when you tell the lie of democracy and at the same time have to tell the truth of darwinian evolution?

    You talk nonsense

    That’s what

    —“Ah. So if we don’t want to squander the promise of the Western Aristocratic tradition there’s no avoiding social Darwinism?”—

    Bingo.

    We have to TELL THE TRUTH.

    So, you know who blocks me that I know about?

    – Kinsella for humiliating him – and yes, I did it on purpose. Sorry.

    – The Critical Rationalist group. They can’t tolerate my argument that popper failed, and that testimonialism completes the Popperian Project. (i find this ironic beyond belief – and I consider it a cult now.)

    – A host of Rothbardian Libertines. (which as a cult I understand)

    – A few of the neo-nazis. (which as a cult, i understand )

    – Two of the ultra left wing (cult) economics sites.

    I mean, I totally understand unfriending me – for no other reason that the amount of content I produce, or because it will freak out your normie friends. But blocking me is just acknowledgement of your failure to defend your positions.

    I mean. My strategy is to play king of the hill: “come and get me”. I don’t troll people. I attack falsehoods,. If you can’t take the hill then just admit it. Because blocking me is just cowardice.

    Until recently I’d blocked very few people. The only reason I block people is because they troll or are too stupid, to solipsistically emotional, or too far along the schizotypal spectrum. which means argument and discourse are not possible. ) You should always attract opponents so that you can learn from them. I mean, I get frustrated with people all the time but it’s good criticism that makes you better at what you do, and forces you to abandon your erroneous priors.

    People I admire most are honest liberals (Karl Smith @ Forbes ) and honest conservatives ( Pat Buchanan ). You can run an empire with honest liberals, libertarians, and conservatives. The problem is it’s too easy to speak and maintain falsehoods in politics and it’s almost impossible to do that in the physical sciences. So why don’t we practice in the social sciences (which are arguably more important) what we practice in the physical sciences?

    The answer is that truthful debate would force people into making exchanges and they’d prefer all or nothing wins and losses.
