New essay on the Eros Aristocracy: "young people don't go out anymore" because they are efficiently sorted out.
I analyze accelerationism and internet amplification of youthful Eros, pure sociality, looksmaxxing and cosmetic monoculture, rise of party schools, age-gap hysteria.
In my experience many normie young people are maybe even further right on culture war issues than in 2024 but either see them as solved, unsolvable, or irrelevant compared to the spectre of Bibi Netanyahu.

Genuine physical beauty is very particular, whereas most ostensibly unconventional looks are actually commonplace and interchangeable
It's the "alt and goth" that are truly basic — crude and shallow signs of sexuality adopted as consolation for lack of individual embodied beauty
“Basic white girl” was obama era word warfare
“Pumpkin spice lattes and Ugg boots for basic white girls” you mean ancestral seasonal traditions?
They renamed it all as “basic” to try to shame what it really is—

Today, many young voters don't ever hear their candidates speak.
We went from monoculture TV soundbites, to adversarial clipping on Twitter, to now only others talking about candidates on TikTok/Reels. Plus candidate photos reposted to the girlies' stories.
However, Heil Acton.

Candidates like Mamdani and Gill who make a point of becoming short form video content are the other side of this, but for some candidates like Acton maybe it's preferable not to be heard (which works for now — you aren't always running against Vivek). See also: teapawt.net/0xAlaric/status/211807…
Any talk of “ICE hype edits losing the election” is a twitter-siloed misread of the media normal people consume and care about. They irritated leftists on here, and that’s about the extent of it. The truth is that the GOP hasn’t adapted to the slopcannon era of shortform political content, not that it’s gone too far. The DNC did adapt, and it won. Right now, 90% of the things Dems and normies believe about “politics” are just not true, in a way that has never been the case before. Epstein eating babies with Trump, etc. Only a few years ago, the “piss tape” and “Russiagate” took intense national media coverage to develop as mass psychoses, and even then only really weathered discreditation among low-info olds. Now, the vast majority of things you hear from “apolitical normies” are some sort of schizophrenic lie derived from a momentary partisan event 6 months ago — something you, reader, forgot about a week after it happened because you mostly consume news on here.
The GOP lost among its base because of the war, gas prices, bad PR, take your pick. But if we’re talking about media strategy, it lost swing normies that it won in ‘24 because it has consistently failed to adapt to the meta of Lindsay Clancy-style TikTok parallel-reality construction. Funnily enough, this media environment — the total death of “legacy media” and “trusted experts,” supplanted by a decentralized online hive — is the exact thing many on the Right have wished for for many years. It happened… now what? As of now, nothing: hysteria is a commodity you can buy, but Republicans aren’t investing. They seemed to have missed the part of epistemic collapse where the “validity” of ideas is totally meaningless, replaced only by their ability to gain attention as a directional signal.
Trump wins nationally because he is a gravity well for media attention, a unique talent; but the GOP without him as the candidate is totally excluded from the infostream, seemingly by their own choice. Everybody laughed at the DNC buying catamites like Harry Sisson back in 2023, but that’s just part of the game now — botfarming new stock characters into the popular mind in order to run participatory ARG-style media events designed solely to drive turnout. These things don’t happen by accident, they cost money and require learned acumen.
Obviously this is only one small part of the electoral environment, but it’s one that very few people seem to be talking about. Epstein hysteria, the Cornell 7, Nolan Wells, etc. probably drove Dem enthusiasm in as big a way as Iran drove GOP unenthusiasm, and it’s an angle where the GOP seems uninterested in competing.

the disillusioning, void experience that video games bring as we age is mirrored in hollow, contemporary "romance." the animating life and excitement of the new age will be demonstrated by the artist with an expression of beauty having no hint of falsity behind it.
New essay: True Love Hysteria
On the conditions for true love, the unbelievability of yearning under internet abundance and demystification, pornified imagination, rigid and vulgarized norms, lack of available ambitions in modernity, narrow range of art that can resonate.
"Love of humanity"

It's very hard to do with reason what others do by instinct. There are rational operators on the left, to be sure, but their big advantage is the conformity & stubborn certainty of their many useful idiots.
The right has smarter people, but smart people are much smaller in number and harder to mobilize. And many even at the top have a suicidal self-doubt that could only come from "thinking things over" — as we saw with the cancellation of the Hegseth livestream.
Turns out most of the people who screeched "we were supposed to have flying cars" will call them a useless toy once we do.
Their complaints were not a lament for wasted progress, but a way for resentful nobodies to feel "above it all."
And now their complaints must adapt.

No coincidence that the Nietzsche-obsessed David Bowie was the rock star who could keep his dignity and create interesting work until the day he died.
These geriatric pseudo-rebellious dorks are left-wing for the same reason they're talentless: their shallow, juvenile souls.

Only in times of rapid change does decentralization outperform centralization. In a world without AGI/SI, the worst kind of centralized actors reconsolidate power — the Antichrist scenario Peter Thiel describes. But SI can free humanity from the crabs in a bucket of "mere life."
Both the lower IQ and highest IQ whites are right-wing, which tends to be attributed to the fact that midwit left-wing propaganda goes over the heads of the former and is seen through by the latter.
There’s truth to this, but it overemphasizes the intellect. The ideals, the symbolism, the health, the body language of the right are apparent to all, prior to any intellectualization. The “vulgar” Trump supporter knows self-assuredness when he sees it; knows a hero when he sees one. And in fact, so does the midwit — who is then overjoyed to find left-wing propaganda that finally enables him to rationalize the resentment such a sight inspires.
In many cases, the vulgar Trump supporter himself is content and self-assured, and ranks well on certain hierarchies despite a lower position on maybe IQ or class. The genius Trump supporter may or may not be on top of many hierarchies, but in some cases, intelligence is the only prominent one where he ranks well, which might inspire the assumption that all political orientation comes down to intellect. There are also instincts to love one's country, love beauty, love freedom, love community, love order, regardless of intelligence.
What’s notable, then, about the midwit white left-winger is not their mediocre intelligence, but their narcissism; that there are no hierarchies that reward them except for midwit moralizing, and that that’s something they can’t accept.
One of the great gifts of (good) modern music is that in today's sacred moments it gives a similar kind of captivating busywork to the thoughtless as does prayer, while simultaneously complementing the spiritedness of the more sensitive.

Women don’t care to shame real rapists because they aren't attracted to 80IQ blobs and thus have no motivation to get back at them for not picking her, nor to lower their status to the point they might settle for her.
Whereas they DO want revenge/leverage with white frat chads.
The real version of these college rape stories happens every day. But the people involved aren’t normal avg middle class people, they’re the bottom quintile doing bottom quintile stuff. These college stories catch fire because there’s a large amount of women who think it’s “all men.” But if they point to the real cases unfortunate patterns start to arise. It starts to look like it’s not all men, but certain types of men… The college cases let them celebrate that they were right. They’re willing to go along with the most outrageous lies because it validates a deep bigotry and hatred they have. That’s why everyone knows who mattress girl is, but not who this woman is.
Nietzsche on those born to command vs industrialists, and the appeal of socialism
Nietzsche on science, deprivation, pain, and joy. Social media and AI can be understood under this lens.
Also: social media has demystified women just as much to themselves as to men.
They've lost plausible deniability and must confront that ie men are much more romantic than them. It makes them feel guilty and gives them the ick (causing even more guilt), coldness is a way to cope
Also criticise it as vibes if you like but it seems like the best explanation to me. Pop culture was 'boycrazy' at the time too, Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" was played constantly. Now we have Sabrina Carpenter, the frigid slut, with her 'hey pigs' thing. Men are icky now.
