I don’t think you should. But maybe this is because I feel the same way (;_;) despite being just someone who endorses HBD and dislikes Progressivism but thinks Moldbug wrong. I like this comment you made elsewhere much better than the one you linked to though:
Progressive takeover of a community is strongly empowered by a journalists noticing nonprogressive ideas floating there.
We’ve been noticing this process for a long time now. I now think I was wrong on this in the past. This should be a sign for what you call the “outer right” that we will only inflame the now inevitable escalation of status warfare, as social justice debates hijack attention away from human rationality to value and demographic warfare and people like us are systematically excluded from the intended audience. An explanation of some related costs for those who can’t think of them. I think your and Anissimov’s site More Right makes a nice Schelling point to regroup and continue our exploration of human rationality applied to controversial topics.
HBD = Human BioDiversity, a line of thought which asserts that humans are significantly different genetically. Often called “racism” by people who don’t like it.
To be more clear, HBDers claim that not just that humans differ significantly at a genetic level (that’s pretty uncontroversial: I don’t think anyone is going to argue that genetically inherited disease aren’t a thing for example). As far as I can tell, the HBDers believe that most or almost all of mental traits are genetically determined. Moreover, HBDers seem to generally believe that these genetic traits are distributed in the population in ways that closely match with what are normally seen as ethnic and racial groups, and that that explains most of racial differences in IQ scores, life success, and rates of criminal activity.

What’s HBD?
