In a way that's true, because "right wing" is just kinda natural, it's the default state of any reasonable person.
OTOH, being "left wing" means going against nature, and that requires elaborate mental gymnastics.

Being an intellectual requires you to do a lot of mental gymnastics to reach counter intuitive (and false) claims and to defend them.
See, Communism, Anarchism, anti-natalism and so on, all of these are idiotic and even if implemented will lead to disastrous outcomes, but they are very much "Intellectual" and highly popular with people in academia who are totally disconnected from reality, which is a basic requirement to believe in these things.

Right wingers really can't do the same. For example, it's obvious why borders exist and what the consequences of not having them are, a person with an IQ of 80 can figure this out, but it takes a person with an IQ of at least 120 to figure out a complex system of beliefs to circumvent reality.

Intellectuals, when strictly confined to academic spheres, can be useful to society, but their ideas must never be taken serious.

If you want to evoke this response, as extremely unlikely as that may be, you'll need to lay a foundation of scientific knowledge, as this is what the materialist pretends to concern himself with in the pursuit of his political agenda. For this, start with Nicholas Wade's "A Troublesome Inheritance" and Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind." Both are on smaller side and should be easily read quickly. The first will give you a decent overview of the biological reality of race and its impact on human history. The second will educate you on the manner by which people determine their moral and political positions, "facts don't care about your feelings," etc.
Afterward, Murray's "The Bell Curve" will cover demographic inequality in America and its relation to IQ, and Pinker's "The Blank Slate" will cover the modern denial of the effect of genetics and sex on the mind. Last one I'll recommend in this category is E. O. Wilson's "Sociobiology" will examine human social behavior as instinctual and inborn, basically applying ethology to humans as they are animals.
I also recommend "Albion's Seed" for an overview of the origins of American culture and folkways.

One real answer is to follow the development of "Darwinism" as an intellectual tradition. It arose in the 19th century and inspired the proto-libertarian thought of Herbert Spencer, which led more or less to the entire concept of anarcho-capitalism amongst other things. Darwinism in general has turned out to be a very "right wing" thing, in part because of how the intellectual fad of eugenics was adopted by Hitler as an organizing principle of Nazi Germany, but also because evolution resonates with market mechanisms and industrial society - it abides by the virtue of Progress but also concedes that natural hierarchies exist which are implicit in "what survives", "what grows", and so on.

With this in mind, it's interesting to note that there's a strange phenomenon among the fluffiest of left wing academics and activists - where they actively deny evolution (often confusing it for social darwinism), and biology. One reason they do this is that it is in the interests of humanities and social science academics (and activists) to treat everything as a "social problem" (when you have a hammer, everything is a nail). When everything is a social problem, you can endlessly prescribe your preferred social engineering solutions.

It's more of a stretch - but I also like to consider it in light of the idea that Marxism is a secularised Christian heresy. Just as Christians have a worldview that denies evolution for expediency (actually, God created us, bible literalism, blah blah), so do the critical theorists and marxists have reasons to avoid the inconvenient aspects of evolution by pushing all problems into the social domain (everything is explained by "nurture", and we are therefore so socially powerful that top-down/centralised social intervention such as EDUCATION is the solution to every problem (it can also be the converse... failure of education or failure to appreciate unconscious biases in our social environment is an always-reachable explanation for almost all social problems) - therefore, give us more power and money to execute our social programs).

As I understand it, Fascism and Marxism are both anti. And while Marxism prevailed over Fascism in Europe, in the wake of WWII, the US remains in a slight tension with t still. This is the reason species of posthuman thought are emerging.

Basically, this anti-intellectualism thread is quaint because it's intractable whether neo-fascists or neo-marxists, defined loosely here, have grown more "anti-intellectual" since WWII. Very masturbatory as a topic, indeed, almost as if by design.

To a degree, it was intended to be that way and also because it’s completely subject to the short term whims of individuals and their ideological parties that change every 4 years so nothing gets preserved to any meaningful degree. What you get is a place where the only lasting structures are the ones that are constructed behind the scenes as a means of control, various forms of fences, walls, prison cells or the ones designed to propagate continued addiction to consumer society, the market, the factory, logistics networks, etc. Everything else falls into disintegration for lack of orientation and/or upkeep.

Wondering when “reactionary” started being a buzzword, did Zizek say this at a debate or something? Do people really not think there’s any depth to the entirety of right wing thinking? I would agree it’s not as deep as left wing analysis and there’s a kind of return to the past (that’s always shifting) but only in relation to a progress that’s supposedly always progressing and also reacting. Aren’t all politics reactions against something? It just feels like another empty buzzword and a way to not deal with points or feelings that people of any kind would use to detract from the left wing narrative. It’s Tiring to see smears touted as some intellectual pursuit when it’s all an effort to get away from substantive conversation (while saying so-called reactionaries have no substance). Someone please explain this to me, I’m not even right wing it just makes no sense reading it to me and feels like a playground insult. If there’s something I’m missing please educate me.

Very few people on the right would call anyone who reads any books— other than claiming to read the bible but actually just skimming books written by televangelists, and maybe glancing at a couple of self help books about investment— actually right wing. Even if you’re right-leaning, if you read books, according to most of the right, you’re a leftie faggot.

Obviously power pools at the top but it’s funny you think my analysis is a reduction when I’m sure you’ll either chortle in about how capitalism or communism are pure evil like some godfather, embrace the universe as chaos. It’s actually much more complex of a worldview to have, and just because you don’t get to turn every person into a monolith of good/bad or reaction/progression makes you behave like a baby losing its BABA.

Maybe, but I just think that most right wingers don’t understand the depth of their own thought (they haven’t boiled it down to first principles.) for example, if we accept that the object-subject distinction is not as clean as metaphysics up to Heidegger imply, we are left with the question of whether a flat ontology (OOO) is a valid understanding of being. The leftist instinct is to validate a flat ontology, as it doesn’t privilege the anthropocentrisme that is supposedly at the cause of our woes. The right believes in a hierarchical ontology (privileging sacred over profane spaces, as well as reconstructing such spaces after the death of god) and this informs most political differences between leftists and rightists. Open to criticism, but I just think that the right doesn’t engage with academia beyond “muh markets” “muh classical virtues” and for this reason is seen as intellectually bankrupt

Which wage gap are you talking about? Are you talking about the survey which showed a gap in average net earnings for full time working men and women when summed across all industries? That's a pretty easy one to answer, women when given the choice, make different choices than men.

I mean, it's not quite that simple as "Right-wing" vs left-wing. There are plenty of right-wing political philosophers and professors worth reading, and plenty that are not right wing that are important to understanding the world from a right-wing perspective (including many post-modernists and leftists).

A good start would be getting a decent understanding of history, mythology and basic philosophy. Starting from the goal of reaching a "right-wing" perspective is just going to prevent you from actually being able to develop the ability to critically understand what you are reading that is necessary to actually have anything of value to say regardless of your intended political alignment.

A couple of simple modern social issues books that could point you in the right direction are "Why Liberalism Failed" by Patrick J Deneen, and "Ship of Fools" by Tucker Carlson, but those are fairly surface level and really more about understanding a perspective than something "intellectual."
I would consider it fairly equivalent to a progressive reading Stephen Pinker or Noam Chomsky. Not really "intellectual" per se, but a surface level understanding of the positions and basic motivations for those positions.

I'm sorry but what? That was some pretty anti-proletariat nonsense coming from someone who pretends to be interested in representing the working class. There's plenty of right-wing support for intellectual scholarship, if anything it's the academy itself that intends to exclude right-wingers not the other way around.

There's certainly a base of low-IQ bottom of the barrel right leaning white workers, just as there is a base of low-IQ racially ambiguous welfare queens supporting the left. This worker class isn't exactly who is worth talking to for any movement (which is ironically one of the main reasons contemporary right wingers tend to be anti-democratic and anti-capitalist because of how vulnerable the population of uninformed and uninterested parties to manipulation by those with the kind of power the modern progressive technocapitalist regime has).

What do you mean who is pulling the levers, that's not how social pressure works. Society as a whole has certain expectations associated with gender (and many other things really) which are then internalized and influence our behaviour. This seems obvious.

Interesting. you familiar with Peirce's semieotic ontology? "Everything is a sign", "signs are living things", "objective/subjective is a useless distinction".
Consider the remark about objective idealism, "matter is effete Mind, inveterate habits becoming physical law" Peirce's principle of synechism, that a mind is not a discrete entity but living thing whose Life is only realized as a continuous existence within a Commind that gives it a finite Universality. It's not a coincidence that pragmaticist epistemology is justified to be finitely certain by a COMMUNITY (Peirce uses all caps). I feel that 'Community' ex vi termini melds flat and hierarchal approaches to ontology into a rhizomatous assemblage. I'm not intimately familiar with Heidegger or OOO and I don't usually think about partisan politics in terms of ontology but I am very interested in biocentric ontologies that work with all ideas and using pragmatism to mend hostile ideologies into Communities. I love my kind of biosemiotic animism, and Im not willing to jump on flat ontologies because it seems like de-ecologized(aka DEAD) biocentrism, life can't be separated from relation and remain in the realm of the living. But you might be onto something about leftists being flaties, that's pretty much the reason why I'm post-left, I occupy the rhizomatous center as a pragmatist I want the entire map to be my territory.

I am not saying that people are explicitly against women going into these fields, but rather that certain jobs are sometimes associated with the male or female sex. To take an uncontroversial example, few people would disagree that a lot more boys than girls view playing football as an attractive career. That doesn't mean that people think that women shouldn't play football, it's a more complex phenomenon related to the presence of certain role models, certain jobs being viewed as traditionally masculine or feminine etc. This seems a more likely explanation for lack of female representation in stem than women inherently not liking math. And we have studies which confirm that societal expectations may influence career decisions: https://www.aauw.org/research/why-so-few/
>>14343220
>1. Why is that a relevant problem that we need to address (before tons of other apparently more serious problems)?
Because societal pressures infringe on the individual's ability to make choices. If we believe in Equality of Opportunity, it would make sense to pursue, or at least not oppose, attempts to make these pressures less strong, especially if they are based on arbitrary presuppositions like being good at math being a boy thing. I think you would probably agree that ideally it would be a good thing (or at least neutral) if people would be able to pursue careers based on their own desires and skills instead of what society expects of them, no? And if you think there is nothing wrong with societal expectations of women not pursuing certain jobs, you would surely agree that there is nothing wrong with these pressures being lessened either. As for why pursue these goals when there are more important issues, I don't see them as mutually exclusive. There is no reason why we should stop pursuing less critical issues until we solve all the more important ones.
>2. What's the ultimate goal? Should every job have 50/50 representation?

The goal is to remove as many social pressures that discourage people from choosing their careers. This should be a matter that people consider free from societal biases. Absolute perfect equality of opportunity in this sense is probably impossible, but we can try to approach it as much as we can assuming we consider it a worthy goal.

You're only half correct.
There is almost a 100% overlap with theoretical high-paying degrees and male dominance in colleges. It's simply because men feel a need to make as much money as possible whereas women do not. I went into stem because I believed it would make me enough money to subsidize the things I genuinely care about, whereas every women I know majored in the thing that was essentially their hobby. Women do this because they're women and they know that they will never necessarily need to be financially independent, and they would rather marry a high earner rather than be one. Nobody takes the high road purely out of an intrinsic desire.
Also ask any academic behind close doors what they think about male vs female problem solving skills and they will tell you women have worse analytical skills.

The percentage itself doesn't matter, if women want to make the choice of not being at certain jobs at all and have 0% representation that's fine in principle. The problem is when people are discouraged from certain jobs not because of personal considerations but because of societal biases being internalized by them. And by that I don't mean that men are keeping the femoids down, I am saying that society as a whole, both men and women, tend to associate certain jobs with femininity or masculinity, because of certain historical and cultural developments etc, you know the drill.

In principle yes, and there are people who defy societal expectations, but in practice it is not always that easy. Social pressure can absolutely influence the way people think, often subconsciously. So if a woman has the impression that being good at math is boy nerd thing maybe she will get discouraged from pursuing that career, because she doesn't want to be seen as a tomboy etc. You can point to individual examples of individuals defying society, but the majority is always going to care about what society thinks of them.

Woah there you posted a lot of cringe takes and they spared him no expense. Retardless, pointing out Darwinism is a decent observation.
Herbert Spencer is a big influence for right wingers huh? That's perfect! An unlearned man who became massively popular with a plebian audience who gained a folk understanding of evolution through his unscientific conjectures and second rate theory of evolution that was NOT inspired by Darwin beyond the 'survival of the fittest' appropriation, was never taken as serious evolutionary science, and was commonly dabbed on by every intellectual under the sun. It's interesting that you mention the social sciences and humanities denying Darwinism, when people like Veblen applying Darwinism to socioeconomic theories helped to originate social determinism, Dawkins, E.O Wilson, Pinker, etc all apply Darwinism to social theories, like Spencer their popularity comes from a lay audience and hacks and not so much. It's funny that you mention Marxism, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about, see The Dialectical Biologist by Richard Levins and Richard Lewontin, as for Christianity I vehemently agree with cs Peirce that agape as in the gospel expresses an evolutionary process of the highest variety, and that adaptation by fortuitous chance as in (neo)Darwinism fails to describe evolution sufficiently.

Woah there you posted a lot of cringe takes and they spared him no expense. Retardless, pointing out Darwinism is a decent observation.
Herbert Spencer is a big influence for right wingers huh? That's perfect! An unlearned man who became massively popular with a plebian audience who gained a folk understanding of evolution through his unscientific conjectures and second rate theory of evolution that was NOT inspired by Darwin beyond the 'survival of the fittest' appropriation, was never taken as serious evolutionary science, and was commonly dabbed on by every intellectual under the sun. It's interesting that you mention the social sciences and humanities denying Darwinism, when people like Veblen applying Darwinism to socioeconomic theories helped to originate social determinism, Dawkins, E.O Wilson, Pinker, etc all apply Darwinism to social theories, like Spencer their popularity comes from a lay audience and hacks and not s
so much from intellectuals. It's funny that you mention Marxism, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about, see The Dialectical Biologist by Richard Levins and Richard Lewontin, as for Christianity I vehemently agree with cs Peirce that agape as in the gospel expresses an evolutionary process of the highest variety, and that adaptation by fortuitous chance as in (neo)Darwinism fails to describe evolution sufficiently.

Here listen to Will Durant tell you a story about Spencer's life, he is a cringe worthy pleb turned dilettante just like the very best "right wing intellectuals that post here. It really is glorious, Spencer is brutally BTFO just by his own biography. The fact that ancaps and Nazis love him is very telling.

It's revealing that you immediately try to delegitimize Spencer and attack his credibility on the subject of evolution instead of engaging with the manifest reality of his influence and his clear and early expression of ideas that still permeate right wing politics.
>It's interesting that you mention the social sciences and humanities denying Darwinism, when people like Veblen applying Darwinism to socioeconomic theories helped to originate social determinism, Dawkins, E.O Wilson, Pinker, etc all apply Darwinism to social theories, like Spencer their popularity comes from a lay audience and hacks and not so much.
I'm not sure what point you are even making here. Social determinism having its origins in Darwinism is a digression that doesn't even undermine anything I said. It's evident that this sort of thinking is dominant in certain sections of academia and political activism where it has become an obstacle to thinking and to multi-disciplinary approaches to problem solving which may provide more options, different ways of framing or thinking about problems, and better ideas for resolving issues. Maligning a handful of popular authors is also irrelevant, and is juicy as hell because amidst your wanky diatribes against Spencer you have inadvertently stumbled on using Veblen as an example (Veblen was himself influenced by Spencer).
>It's funny that you mention Marxism, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about
I have first-hand experience of English professors (a self-professed Marxist and a self-professed Feminist) misapprehending the theory of evolution and making stunningly naive claims about topics they clearly didn't understand. Additionally, popular activism (the bottom-up phenomenon, not the "name some marxist academics who believe what you say" schtick) does not have the same nuanced ideas about evolution and biology that others may have articulated, nor a valid critique of it. The overriding incentives and ideas are to presuppose social phenomena and social intervention is more powerful than it really is. The most obvious reason that these social determinist attitudes are naive is that "evolution" operates on longer timescales than a single lifetime, and therefore the capacity to use social change to overturn the effects of the behaviour of past generations is necessarily limited.

>Spencer’s reputation has never fully recovered from Moore and Hofstadter’s interpretative caricatures, thus marginalizing him to the hinterlands of intellectual history, though recent scholarship has begun restoring and repairing his legacy. Happily, in rehabilitating him, some moral philosophers have begun to appreciate just how fundamentally utilitarian his practical reasoning was. And some sociologists have likewise begun reassessing Spencer.
>Intellectual history is forever being rewritten as we necessarily reinterpret its canonical texts and occasionally renominate marginalized thinkers for canonical consideration.

Framing everything as a social problem is often a dishonest way to accrue power to academic disciplines and people that don't actually contribute value or have a practical method to resolve the problems they identify. The whole psychopathic "a crisis is an opportunity" mindset. It's mere rent-seeking faggotry.

You claim that if I don't accept social determinism 100% I must accept biological determinism 100%. Yet I'm the retard?

The only thing it reveals is that you struggle to relate my response to the portion of your original post I was responding to without the aid of greentext. Quick reminder; that portion of my response was referring to this,
>follow the development of "Darwinism" as an intellectual tradition. It arose in the 19th century and inspired the proto-libertarian thought of Herbert Spencer
I am justified in pointing out that Spencer's evolutionary theories are not Darwinian, were developed independently of Darwinism, and we're definitely NOT part of the '"intellectual tradition" of Darwinism. You did not say follow the "intellectual tradition" of Spencerianism, you said Darwinism, Spencer is not a darwinist, so using Spencer's influence as evidence for your claim
>Darwinism in general has turned out to be a very "right wing" thing
Is absurd, your claim that Darwinism is applied to markets is closer to true, but that's not very right wing because the most prominent people who did that are as liberal as can be or even left leaning like Veblen.
>engaging with the manifest reality of his influence and his clear and early expression of ideas that still permeate right wing politics.
That is exactly what I did in pointing out that Spencer's popularity was given by lay people and not an "intellectual tradition", hence it's not acceptable to claim that Spencer's popularity with right wingers is a product of intellectualism.
>I'm not sure what point you are even making here. Social determinism having its origins in Darwinism is a digression that doesn't even undermine anything I said.
You said
>they actively deny evolution, and biology. One reason they do this is that it is in the interests of humanities and social science academics
to treat everything as a "social problem"
Not only do social theorist NOT deny evolutionary, they are applying Darwinism in their theories.
> handful of popular authors is also irrelevant
The point is they are darwinists that are not right wingers
> you have inadvertently stumbled on using Veblen as an example.
There is nothing inadvertent about that, I intentionally mentioned Veblen BECAUSE he is influenced by Spencer and not only is he not a right winger, he also theorized social ills from an evolutionary perspective, and like the right wingers influenced by Spencer, HE IS A SOCIAL ENGINEER.
>When everything is a social problem, you can endlessly prescribe your preferred social engineering solutions.
Do you have any idea how ridiculous this is when you are siding these people against Spencer?

I agree very much on “Community” as mending the flat and hierarchical approaches to ontology. I will definitely check out Peirce, but are there any readings you can recommend about biocentric ontologies? I’m unfamiliar with the concept. For me, Heidegger didn’t make sense until I watched Mark Blitz’s interview with Bill Kristol about Heidegger. Harman Graham’s “Tool-Being: Heidegger and the Metaphysics of Objects.” is also really good for both heidegger and OOO. Also, fuck>>14342635

I work in engineering and the honest answer is that the work sucks and the companies treat you like shit (despite the high pay you are often "on the clock" 24 hrs a day waiting for some shitty call that something went wrong that you need to figure out how to fix despite your department having nothing do to with how it went wrong etc.). Most women who go into engineering who make it through undergrad (with the ~80% drop out/major switch rate electrical engineering has) end up leaving within 5 years because they can make just as much if not more money consulting somewhere in business management with nearly the same skills they got doing engineering. The job sucks and the pay isn't worth it, and women don't have the same pressures to "be the man" put on them so they don't stick through that shit where as men do.

This also doesn't consider that many of these women marry men who make as much if not more money than them and then they find their income unnecessary to live a good life. My cousin is a good example, she's incredibly intelligent and did her Ph.D in Chemical engineering from a very good school in the states, but her husband did his Ph.D in Materials Science and makes enough money that she is able to raise their children while being a part time manager at an exercise center (which she does because she was bored sitting around the house, not because they need the money). She wasn't forced out of sciences because some bro culture, she saw the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and left (just like 60% of women and 25% of men do within 5 years of graduation with an Engineering degree).

it all tracks though. Democrats have to keep digging for woke points because they supported their selective brand of "open-mindedness" for the past 40 years and are now become authoritarian in their implementation.
Right wing conservativism used to be co-opted by the American churches to imply that their "family values" have them the moral superiority in protecting family structure and traditional sexual views. Then the Republican party had a mediocre candidate lineup and trump hijacked the American media system by being a ratings whale which led him to win an election. Now the most morally bankrupt politician to ever take the oath of office is the face of the previously morally value laden American right.

tl:dr both of the biggest worldwide political idealogies are experiencing an authoritarian shift that coincides with the gradual demographic-ideological shift of boomers/gen x/millennials.

The writers Im going to mention hate and deconstruct liberal arguments such as "I don't see race", "trump ruined America!", and are sometimes against many remnants of femenism. Most of the writers once they're done deconstructing acusse all of these writers of being racist for having these ideals.
