I have a similar political journey than yours and also loved Pokémon as a kid, do you think young libertarianism is a trait that predicts future ''basedness''? Is that the infamous ''libertarian to alt-right pipeline''? Why it happens? also is nerdism (videogames, comicbooks, sci-fi, fantasy) correlated with wokeism or basedness?
Same here. When I discovered libertarianism it didn't feel like a novelty so much as finding out that there was a name for the views I already held. I'm actually rwriting a project on wokeism and nerdism as we speak. It used to be that ancient games were traditionally tested and true tools for group survival (shared intentionality; complex coordinated actions etc.). I suspect that the general decline we're seeing everywhere with Cthulu swimming left has not left games and other corners of nerd activities untouched.
In fact, the author won't mind my taking the opportunity and let this serve as a recruitment call for anyone interested to speak to me about their experiences with nerdism, wokeism and basedness.
What do you think about stronger dysgenic IQ decline of 15-20 points since 1870? 1.5 points per decade or so. This is most often proposed by Edward Dutton
Very intriguing read! I'm glad I discovered your Substack when I did just this past week, and quickly read through your manuscript. I was quite motivated by what I read, particularly where you put to rest concerns I had about the scientific validity of elite theory.
What would be the best way for an anthropology soon-to-be grad to get ahold of you for a quick few questions? Are you open to DMs?
For starters, I'm just curious how you explain the right wing propensity towards wordcels, and if it is, in your estimation, any different than the left wing verbal tilt?
hello, what do you mean when you said, "The population mean can decline by 5 points, which is about the gap between men and women on IQ. Today’s men are yesterday’s women when it comes to general intelligence." Men, have higher iq on avg? I thought men were at the top and bottom of the iq distribution.
