Can the right become the elite?

Probably not, the dysgenics are too bad

Research into the origins of leftism suggests that leftism was neither increased by the proliferation of new ideas, nor are differences in leftism between people at the current time mainly caused by differences in idea exposure. A good upper estimate of the variance of leftism explained information is 20%. Exposing everyone to HBD will almost certainly move the mean by less than 0.50 SDs to the right. Meanwhile, Cthulu will still swim left due to dysgenics and mutational load. And nothing is stopping leftist counter-ideas from dampening this shift.

If leftism is primarily genetic, as it would seem, then rightwingers are now naturally a shrinking biological minority. In a free marketplace of ideas, leftist ideas will tend to outcompete rightist ones, due to genetic bias. Ideas are expensive to make; HBD is now supposed to be the right’s trump card, but the actual effects of exposure are weak compared to the decades and decades of research it took to produce it. Meanwhile, leftists get to just make stuff up in diversity studies departments with very little opposition, still taken seriously while actual facts are called “pseudo-science.”

If the memetability of leftism is 20%, then the correlation between meme-score and leftism is about 0.45. Giving everyone a meme-score 3 SDs to the right would induce a shift of 1.35 SDs to the right. Leftism seems to have increased by about 0.15 SDs per generation, so this would retvrn us to about 180 years ago — pretty good. This agrees with the folkish intuition that in the extremes, propaganda can be powerful.

The problem is that in a free marketplace of ideas, people will not have 3 SD meme scores on average. This follows from the definition of the free marketplace of ideas. The average person randomly samples from this marketplace, and ends up, on average, with a meme score of 0 SDs. Memetability is produced when people undersample, and sample error is generated.

If new ideas are more likely to be right wing, then in the future, today’s 3 SD could be the new 0 SD. This is how “memetaticity” or memetic pressure is produced, in theory. If new ideas are uncorrelated with gene scores, we have no reason to expect this to happen in a free market. It hasn’t happened in the past. If new ideas are correlated with gene scores, then memetic pressure will amplify evolutionary pressure.

I have therefore suggested that, assuming I could command every based person, it would be more effective to start breeding more than leftists by great numbers, ideally in our own space where there is a high concentration of based people of both sexes. This would do much more than based people being isolated in non-based institutions, writing blogs that do little in the grand scheme of things but threaten their salaries. Mutational load aside, the heritability of rightism proves the breeding strategy would be highly effective as long as the numbers are right. The blogging strategy has been tried for decades, with few results, and with no theoretical foundation. The theoretical foundation I have given life to suggests this is to be expected.

But there is another strategy people often ask about. This is perhaps of third strategy of the three great strategies — these strategies are idealism, hereditarianism, and elite theory. The elite theory strategy is fundamentally based on observing societies like North Korea, the USSR, East Germany, and Nazi Germany, and similar autocracies under the assumption that a political minority ruled these regimes with more or less complete power by being elite. Therefore, even if the right is a political minority, somehow, through “focusing on elites”, such a society could be formed in an existing country, even though a free people with the current gene pool would never knowingly vote for such a society. Such an occurrence would, of course, allow a small minority to make the average meme score 3 SD, by curtailing informatic freedom.

Therefore, we need to develop the foundations for a science of autocracies. How powerful are they? When to they arise and why? What kind of individuals are needed for one?

We can start by examining features of historically recent autocracies. I compiled a list of 20 such recent autocracies,
