High education, high trust, pro social white Rural voters in mountain west states. They're basically a unicorn

This was less of an issue before because politics was far more face to face with concrete consequences. The growth of info silos and epistemic closure breaks that feedback loop. Thus, those with weak empathy are easily hoodwinked into horrid policies they never support in reality.

"Most conservatives have weak imaginative empathy and thus only understand concrete harms to people they know" remains the skeleton key of Trump's reelection.

I think @isaiahbishop.bsky.social said this once, but it's striking how LLMs are mostly good at code and abstract math because both of those are just abstract languages with preset rules and finite outcomes.

Feels like the frontier models made some huge jumps from 23-about 6 months ago. I don't see or hear as much about new capacity since then.

Mormon Realignment is likely the most efficient coalition flip possible because they're concentrated in rural mountain west states. ID, UT, NV, and AZ senate/gov/house delegations all on lock if that happens.

Are you telling me that the guy who would go on rants about how the only truly radical way to love was to be poly, and that monogamy was always wrong, is also incapable of nuance on other issues? I'm very shocked to hear this.

We forget that Rove cut his teeth amongst the College Republicans. Back then that was a real organization that was invested in winning elections. Now it's a phrenology society for the future defendants in Nuremberg 2.0: Stupider and Uncut.

Underrated story: the GOP has gone from the party of cutthroat operators who win at all costs to a bunch of fart sniffing morons who feel entitled to their seats. The key difference? College educated high earners aren't Republican anymore and so the pipeline for smart killers is dry.

The year is 2035. Primary season is over. You get the annual notification. "Hey folks, newsletter is going on hiatus, yearly subs are being pro-rata refunded." You smile, for now the fall harvest is secure. You make a note: "Re-subscribe in March, Corn have plenty starch." The cycle begins again.

Yep. But it's unfalsifiable and that's how it gets blood and soilish. "I know the truth of this forest and the land upon it. You cannot"

Oh man, that text is *rough*. I've always argued that the "treat all people as ends" conception of CI implies a pretty robust and internationalist democratic socialism. Many kantian professors think I am crazy for it, which is odd given *points at Rawls*

Principle of Charity requires I attack the argument, but yeah that's a part of it. Easy to hide behind jargon and abstruse prose if you're mostly selling bullshit

feeling over communal discourse as key to truth making. That leads to fascist conclusions. Universal cosmopolitanism is the foundation of left politics, and it requires a hypothetical universal epistemic access between all persons. If truth is particular+feeling based, then nations are immortal

This take is actually rather controversial in my realm of philosophy, not because its wrong, but because people have built careers writing about reactionary thinkers as cute intellectual projects. The realty is that Heidegger promotes an anti-universalist obscurantism the privileges individual

High Decoupling: Philosophers do this when discussing figures like Heidegger and my response is usually some form of "If your trade is thinking really hard and you end up being a Nazi then maybe your ideas are Nazi-like." You can decouple idea from source somewhat, but not as much as people think

Being poly is highly irrational imo. People become poly because they are 1. Silly or 2. Going to break up with their current partner

I heard the song, it is very...bland. By contrast, I hear "Neon Cross" by Jaime Wyatt unprovoked in my head all the time. Choosin Texas is like Mr Beast: an algorithmic byproduct whose popularity is more an eerie absence of genuine interest than real broad based appeal.
