I wouldn’t equate Robin’s perspectives on culture with reactionary movements or conservatism. If anything, he seems quite open to radical transformations of society (e.g. futarchy to replace parlamentarism, bounty systems and vouching to replace policing, private insurance policies to replace welfare policies etc.).
Whereas (neo-)reactionary / conservative thought simply often intends to return some previous status quo, Robin does not confess to representing such views and has not proposed such solutions. In fact, as far as I’m aware he hasn’t proposed any solutions at all as of yet.
EDIT: (Mis-)interpreted your comment as Robin pushing (neo-)reactionary ideas. I do agree that conservative and reactionary movements generally show interest towards cultural drift as a phenomenon. However, if you propose that Robin’s ideas themselves are not novel, I’d like to hear which ideas in particular you think have already been tackled for millenia or some other timescale.
Are you aware of anyone else working on the same topic?
This is not novel to Hanson, it’s been a staple of (neo)reactionary /conservative thought for millenia.
