increasing endorsement/linking of right wing figures like hanania and cremieux
Idk, back in the day LessWrong had a reasonable amount of discussion of relatively right-wing figures like Moldbug and other neoreactionaries, or on the less extreme end, people like Bryan Caplan. And there’s always been an undercurrent of discussion of e.g. race and IQ.
low confidence but i feel like i can kind of assume that the median rat has libertarian sympathies now in a way that i couldn’t before?
I feel like the median rat had strong libertarian sympathies 10 years ago.
I think that shifting from 15% to 20% over ten years is so plausible under the null hypothesis that it doesn’t really cry out for explanation, and any proposed explanation has to somehow explain why it didn’t lead to a larger effect!

i think these facts can be consistent with a theory like, the rationalists went from being 15% right wing to 20% right wing in the last ten years?

Every so often I stumble across a question in need of a survey, and as it happens I have one.
(Smaller response rate than I’d like though, I should try that chart on the ACX survey sometime.)
