For some things Harvard suffices, this blog is for the rest.
A group blog, More Right is a place to discuss the many things that are touched by politics that we prefer wouldn’t be, as well as right wing ideas in general. It grew out of the correspondences among like minded people in late 2012, who first began their journey studying the findings of modern cognitive science on the failings of human reasoning and ended it reading serious 19th century gentlemen denouncing democracy. Surveying modernity, we found cracks in its façade. Findings and seemingly correct ideas, carefully bolted down and hidden, met with disapproving stares and inarticulate denunciation when unearthed. This only whetted our appetites. Proceeding from the surface to the foundations, we found them lacking. This is reflected in the spirit of the site.
Being an intellectual project foremost, concerned with unearthing truth, not coalition building, we are here to test and learn from each other. For this reason input of a loyal opposition trying to salvage the old worldview and those who are undecided will be occasionally welcome among the authors.
Make no mistake however. This is a different world you are walking into, different norms shall apply, unspoken assumptions may be violated. The debilitating morality signaling spirals created by merely denouncing those to the right will be guarded against.
Politics is difficult to talk about due to the human tendency to form coalitions and then insult the opposing side, so the comments are closed except on the monthly open thread. If you have something noteworthy to say about a particular article, email us at comments[at]moreright.net and we will add it there or even dedicate a separate post to it.
