LessWrong (30+ Karma)“Applying right-wing frames to AGI (geo)politics” by Richard_Ngo I've increasingly found right-wing political frameworks to be valuable for thinking about how to navigate the development of AGI. In this post I've copied over a twitter thread I wrote about three right-wing positions which I think are severely underrated in light of the development of AGI. I hope that these ideas will help the AI alignment community better understand the philosophical foundations of the new right and why they're useful for thinking about the (geo)politics of AGI. 1.

The conversation explores the definition and validity of racial categorization from a biological perspective, addressing whether certain physical and cognitive differences among races have a genetic basis.
Nathan argues that acknowledging these differences does not necessitate negative social implications but rather an honest recognition of human biodiversity. The dialogue delves into the controversy surrounding race realism in academia, including censorship, accusations of racism, and the consequences of denying or accepting biological differences among races.

We discuss his paper “Still No Evidence for a Jewish Group Evolutionary Strategy” in the context of his ongoing debate with Kevin MacDonald and "The Culture of Critique” series. We cover explanations for outstanding and disproportionate Jewish success, differences in Jewish intelligence, whether Jews are particularly ethnocentric, Jewish involvement in Multiculturalism, Liberalism, mass immigration, and other political & intellectual movements, Margherita Sarfatti and Jews’ role in Italian Fascism, and the relationship of these unanswered questions to antisemitism.

THE MANIFESTO PODCASTEp 46: The Problem of Intelligence- IQ and Its Detractors (Guest: Nathan Cofnas)Nathan Cofnas is a heretic. It's not a title nor a career path he has chosen, rather, he has had the bad taste of delving into the wrong subject at the wrong time. Because in a world where social sciences and polite society has decided that humankind is essentially fully moldable beings, constructed as the post-moderns would have it - to study the subject of IQ is not only a poor choice, but a dangerous one at that. Delving even further into the dark arts, Cofnas field of study is that of race and intelligence.Here...2023-12-041h 38Luke FordPhilosopher Nathan Cofnas on DEI & the Middle East Conflict (10-27-23)https://twitter.com/nathancofnas

He works in the philosophy of biology (very broadly construed) and ethics, and the intersection of these fields. He is particularly interested in scientific and ethical controversies connected with evolution-informed social science. Nathan aspires to do philosophy that is continuous with science. Most of his work deals with methodological issues at the border between science and philosophy, and about half of his publications are in science journals.
