I’m currently working on a post distilling Selectorate Theory (i.e, dictator’s handbook, though I’m basing it more on their older book, the logic of political survival). i probably won’t touch on its interaction with other theories in that post, but once there’s a good summery of it on the site it would be easier to have a discussion about how it combines with other ideas.

Awesome. Looking forward to it.
I’ve also put summaries of 3 out of 6 chapters of Gervais Principle on my shortform. (The other chapters frankly weren’t that interesting to me).
Working on a summary of Moral Mazes right now. Not sure if I will post it since, we already have Zvi’s version.
Took me quite long, but the selectorate theory post is finally published! :)
I saw it!
The only reason I haven’t read it yet is because I wanted to make sure I had time to read it.
Really appreciate it. I think unwinding how power works will be a huge step forward for rationality.
