I think many people don't understand this, but education probably actually makes people more politically right.
Imagine a heterosexual non-Jewish white man with a normal sense of masculinity and German/British ancestry.

2

Now imagine that he is studying economics, engineering, or "Darwinian" sciences.
We know that studying economics makes us more politically right-wing:

Inquisitive Bird@Scientific_Bird

New paper claims that college *does* causally influence political opinions.

In particular, compared to STEM as reference, social studies and humanities make people more left-wing, and business majors make people more right-wing.

3

You also know that white people of British/German descent are the most politically right-wing:

Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil

Indeed!

'Heritage Americans' (British, Dutch—'Founding Stock') are among the most right-wing White people in the U.S., only being outmatched on that metric by Swiss Americans, many of whom are descended from a group of classical liberal immigrants:

The '48ers!

4

It is also known that STEM education makes men more politically right-wing:

Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil

This is really interesting.

Being assigned to a STEM education in high school (as opposed to humanities) makes boys a bit more right-wing.

5

We also know that it works with masculinity. White men who feel confident in their masculinity are more likely to have right-wing views:
aporiamagazine.com/p/democrats-tr…

                            6
                        
The "Darwinian" sciences are more complicated. I haven't seen any specific studies on their impact on politics, but there are some important trends.

                            7
                        
We know from research that among psychometrists:
1. White men are the most conservative

8

2. The more conservative a psychometrist is, the more he believes in the genetics of racial differences in IQ, the harmfulness of positive discrimination and the need to test the IQ of migrants,and believes less in the narratives of "decolonization":
unz.com/akarlin/poll-i…

9

There are similar correlations among anthropologists. More conservative anthropologists believe more in the presence of wars, murders and tribal conflicts among ancient people:
racehist.blogspot.com/2015/06/gender…

                            10
                        
Naturally, heterosexual non-Jewish white men are the most conservative among anthropologists.

11

It's the same with the biological concept of race. It is recognized most of all by white heterosexual men, least of all by Jews, women and "colored" people.:

Sean Last@Sean__Last

Some data from the 70s suggesting that race-denial was more common among physical anthropologists who were female, or Jewish(small n, statistically significant), or an immigrant. Illustrates the general truth that changes in science can be partly driven by changes in demographics

12

And again, we know from scientific research that the recognition of the biological concept of race is associated with more right-wing views:
racehist.blogspot.com/2008/08/accept…

13

None of this is surprising. After all, the basis of right-wing ideas is faith in the hierarchy of people. Please note that this works equally for both economic and social conservatives:

Sean Last@Sean__Last

Large pre-registered study finds perceiving the world as threatening doesn't predict conservatism very well, but belief in hierarchy (e.g. thinking some people are better than others) and an intentional world with purpose were decent predictors.
journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

                            14
                        
A truly educated person is Jared Taylor, Peter Brimelow, Ivan Ilyin, Lothrop Stoddard, Steve Sailer, Richard Lynn, Milton Friedman, Arthur Jensen, Emil Kirkegaard, Peter Frost. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that they were all economic and social conservatives.

15

In general, with serious scientific analysis, the idea of a "liberal elite" breaks down. The members of the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society were more educated than the average American:

racehist.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-je…

True Discipline@TruueDiscipline

But Will... Many of them had college degrees just like you!

Leftists have less stable families and lower birth rates.:
politico.com/magazine/story…

17

Leftists are more likely to commit crimes:
doi.org/10.1016/j.paid…
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

18

Support for socialism is linked to downward personal mobility:

Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil

There's a lot of truth to this. Wherever we have data, we see this repeated:

Communists tend to be downwardly mobile. They are, always and everywhere, disproportionately likely to be their generation's losers.

Consider this Finnish data on the Red and White Guards:

19

Leftist views are associated with anti-white hatred, and a positive white identity is associated with happiness.:
x.com/Sean__Last/sta…

Sean Last@Sean__Last

Research shows that the left in general is an anti-white movement, and blaming white people for something which is not there fault (black people being killed more by police due to higher crime rates) is in fact anti-white.

20

Even among philosophers, the study of logic is associated with less support for socialism:

Ben Alfred@Ben_Alfred_

A.J. Ayer thought logic to be unique amongst subfields of philosophy, saying that "as a formal science it ranks with mathematics, from which it is hardly now distinguishable."
Probably true—philosophers that self-select into specializing in logic are less leftist:

21

People on the left believe more in zero sum:

arctotherium@arctotherium42

Back in reality: leftists think much more in zero-sum terms than right-wingers. Probably why they're effective in politics (which is zero-sum) but suck at policy (because the world is not zero sum).

22

Conservative white men are the most economically literate people in the United States:

arctotherium@arctotherium42

Economic literacy in the US: an old, white, educated, Republican thing. Bodes well for the future.

23

Ultimately, the real problem is the lack of quality education. Students are not taught racial science and economics, but instead are given the nonsense of sociologists about equality:

arctotherium@arctotherium42

Actually believing in lowbrow fairy tales like racial and sexual equality is civilization-ending. Not just them either, we're all in the same boat here.

                            24
                        
How many heterosexual white men of German/British descent with normal masculinity are in Ivy League universities? 5%? 10%?

25

In the past, there was a WASP elite that fit the description:

26

Of course, this has consequences. Especially bad for the "supporters of abundance." For example, Republicans are more supportive of abundance:

Ceb K.@CEBKCEBKCEBK

You’re telling me that Republican voters like red state policies? That Democrats don’t suddenly pretend they’ve always hated blue state policies? I guess it was worth testing whether they’d switch on a dime when Ezra told them to, even tho the groups are still favoring the groups

27

Republicans are building more housing and making more "abundance":

arctotherium@arctotherium42

NYC is ~40% foreign born (uncertainty thanks to Bidenwave, was 36% in 2013) and has huge American out-migration (5-10K/month).

28

This is generally reflected in demographics: people literally go to places where conservatives rule and where there are more whites.:
x.com/arctotherium42…
x.com/arctotherium42…

arctotherium@arctotherium42

New article (see next post) on interstate migration, with a focus on the partisan implications. Big takeaways:
1) Internal migration is overwhelmingly blue => red
2) This is because of superior Republican economic policies (housing, taxes, regulation)
3) All else equal, this helps the Republican party nationally
4) If not for immigration, blue states would rapidly lose population and influence, while booming red states would remain red rather than go purple. Immigration serves as a sort of political subsidy for bad (D) governance.

29

It also has global implications - leftists are literally interfering with technological progress.:

UBERSOY@UBERSOY1

Study Finds Left-Wing Governments Inhibit Innovation, While Right-Wing Rule Spurs It — Based on Data from 110 Countries (1995–2015):

“Overall, the empirical results show that a leftist ruling party inhibits the progress of technical innovation, whereas a right-wing ruling party promotes the appearance of new technology.”

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

30

This is reflected even in populists - leftist populists are worse than right-wing ones.:

Ceb K.@CEBKCEBKCEBK

Surprisingly persuasive paper. Synthetic controls suggest that populists are very bad for things like real GDP growth; this is robust across five different specifications of who counts as populist, & all sorts of other checks. Populists are generally defined by anti-elitism. And-

31

And it's not just about socialism. The idea that Immigration Improves the Economy is a Meme:

But there is no substantial or statistically significant relationship between being more right-wing and being fatter.

The Mafia is undoubtedly cool.

It makes for good TV and good movies, and some even argue that it makes for economic growth, that it 'greases the wheels'.

But I've never believed this theory, and I think there's considerable evidence against it🧵

41

I don't know for sure if it's worth mentioning, but there are no "right-wing incels":

True Discipline@TruueDiscipline

There isn't actually a difference on singleness between liberal and conservative men. The quoted tweet is just revenge fantasy cope.

In fact, sexist boys date more often.:

True Discipline@TruueDiscipline

"You need to be less sexist maybe you can get a date"
lol:

43

And the women themselves clearly like the "bad guys" to some extent:

True Discipline@TruueDiscipline

There is an argument to be made that women are broadly responsible for toxic masculinity. They prefer men who are high status, high in benevolent sexism, dominance towards other men, and many are turned off by explicitly asking for consent.

44

And when women marry oligarchs [as in their favorite novels], they literally become "traditional wives":

Another meme is the idea of women's special ability to collaborate. Really stupid:

Smart men are probably the best collaborators in the world:

arctotherium@arctotherium42

Smarter people learn to cooperate more in Prisoner's Dilemmas over iterations (blue: higher Raven's Matrices score, red: lower Raven's Matrices score). This is plausibly one of the reasons for the "Hive Mind" effect (national IQ being more important than personal IQ).

48

And this:

arctotherium@arctotherium42

Firefighters should be exclusively male. Not only are the physical differences huge (Cohen's d = 3 for strength), but the mental ones are too. Men are less fearful in real situations (d = 1.16) and better at collective action (M/M pairs cooperate more in Prisoner's Dilemmas).

49

And this:
x.com/arctotherium42…

arctotherium@arctotherium42

Men are the team-building sex. In team sports, you cooperate to compete. Women are 4.2 times more likely to be socially excluded and 13.69 times more likely to be attacked by their own teammates in college sports than men. "Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton."

Just to remind you, monogamous societies are better.:

arctotherium@arctotherium42

No it isn't. Here's a map of pre-1492 marriage patterns on the left and national IQs on the right. Monogamy and high IQ go together. Don't think anyone who makes this claim can explain what "dysgenics" means (hint: it's not "any kind of natural or sexual selection at all").

At the same time, people overestimate women.:
x.com/arctotherium42…

arctotherium@arctotherium42

This "women-are-wonderful" bias isn't just a lab phenomenon, it also applies to elections. Both men and women favor female politicians (women more than men). "Male Kamala Harris" would've gotten blown out.

54

And this:

True Discipline@TruueDiscipline

The modern view of women is basically that they are better than men but lower agency. Basically, they can be put into positions of power, but can't be held accountable when they mess up. That the worst possible world for men.

About assortative mating:

Inquisitive Bird@Scientific_Bird

Assortative mating and preferences towards intelligence -- a short criticism of a common argument

There's an argument that regularly pops up here. It goes something like:

A: "Men don't care about intelligence."
B: "The data says otherwise, intelligent men marry intelligent women."

Here I won't argue that B is wrong per se, but more that the argument or evidence provided as counter-argument isn't good.

First, we should recognize that there are two parties in a marriage. In theory, this assortative mating could be entirely driven by smart women's preferences to marry educated and smart men. (Not saying this is the case, but the symmetry of the correlation means that assortative mating doesn't tell us *whose* preference is operating)

Second -- and my more serious criticism -- is that assortative mating can arise for reasons other than preferences. In particular, society is stratified in terms of intelligence, and it might just arise because smart people live and partake in certain environments.

Smart people tend to mingle with other smart people. They meet, and sometimes form relationships. That could explain why smart people marry other smart people, without any need for any overt preference for intelligence.

I want to make this point clear: even if smart people had zero preference towards intelligence, you'd expect substantial assortative mating in terms of education/intelligence simply because of how people indirectly sort themselves throughout society.

This is not merely a "what-if" philosophical objection. There is a compelling Norwegian study which shows that the majority of the educational assortative mating can be explained by the fact that people tend to meet in specific institutions they attend (Kirkebøen, Leuven & Mogstad, 2021).

My point was not to disprove that (intelligent) men prefer intelligent women. It's more a call for people to think about the issues more carefully and present more compelling evidence either way.

Rich people behave better:
