Something else I just realized: Georgism is a leftish idea that recognizes some (but not all) leftish ideas I’ve discussed or referenced above, and its modern form is currently rationalist-adjacent. Progress!
You could interpret that as “rationalists are moving to the left… expect more leftism in the future”, or you could interpret that as “rationalists are choosing the parts that seem correct to them (and rejecting the parts that don’t)… expect more cherry-picking from all directions in the future”.

In what sense is Georgism “leftish”?
