On today’s episode of Walt Right Perspectives I catch up with a very special guest:
, the intrepid Zoomer lad who last April distinguished himself as the very first Jewish guest I ever had on the pod to discuss the JQ and other topics.This was a fascinating convo because unlike the older edgelord-adjacent Jewish guys who followed MBE in subsequent months (shout-out to frens
), Mordechai was actually an Yglesian Liberal from the Northeast who passionately supported Palestinian interests and sort of pooped his pants when I suggested men should be able to ask out their female coworkers.But like I and anyone who listened to that episode predicted last April, MBE has since moved significantly to the right, becoming a heterodox cultural libertarian type open to HBD (though currently he’s in more of an exploratory state of ideological flux and is overwhelmingly focused on AI policy).
In this episode I interview Mordechai about his recent intellectual development, his Birthright trip to Israel last summer, and various other topics on his mind.
Topics include:
How edgy Substacks like The Walt Right helped break MBE’s cultural leftism
Why Mordechai has come to accept HBD
If you have a high enough verbal IQ you can convincingly argue for basically any position using cherrypicked studies and flexible epistemic goalposts
Does anyone actually follow the “Scientific Method” in practice?
It’s extremely midwit / Reddit to deny the intellectual value of dreams
How moral foundations theory is pushing MBE to question his longtime EA
Why Effective Altruism is intellectual catnip to autistic Jews
Utilitarianism as a mechanism for cyclical Talmudic debate
Walt argues it would be easy to call Bentham’s Bulldog a white supremacist for prioritizing shrimp over black peepo
Is shrimppoasting a way for autistic Jews to be edgy?
Extreme anti-catastrophic longtermism vs. singularity accelerationism as an internal Utilitarian debate without any clear answer
Is voluntary human extinction via dopamine traps more dangerous than AGI?
Walt is envious of MBE for being the perfect age when AI gets good
Just how asymmetric will a post-AGI world be?
MBE predicts AI will cause a temporarily proliferation of bullshit jobs
What status hierarchies will predominate in a post-scarcity world? Sports? Art? Religious faithfulness?
Zoomers who care about their religion *really* care about their religion and are generally a lot more extreme than Millennials were
The social scene on MBE’s campus
Are the majority of Zoomers just sitting around jacking off?
The Zoomer sex recession
Why Zoomers have such insane variance in their levels of maturity / agency
Roughly a third of MBE’s classmates don’t have drivers licenses
The case for deferring the age of maturity to 21 or 25—will this inevitably happen over time? People seem to be physically / emotionally aging more slowly.
Everyone talks like a teenage girl these days
Is it valuable to bully people for not achieving certain life milestones?
AI radically increases the appeal of asymmetric strategies
Should high IQ + openness people overtly promote asymmetric maximalism for their own benefit or try to protect normies from themselves?
Typically you can tell someone’s temperament from their face
It’s better for elites if normies are dopamine cows who can be exploited
What’s better for women—bad men or cats?
Incels despise nothing more than an ascended incel
Walt argues most autistic intellectual types come into their masculinity relatively late in life and shouldn’t refer to themselves as incels before 25
Why MBE cares less about Palestine now
How MBE’s Birthright trip to Israel alienated him from his Jewish identity
Does
’s Palestinian heritage give his pro-Israel stance power?Why ChatGPT thinks Richard Hanania is Jewish
Walt explains why Trump should rip off the bandaid and evacuate the Pallies
Are there still turdworldists marching around MBE’s campus?
Does AI make everything else not matter?
Why MBE is only voting based on AI policy going forward
How each major party is currently situated on AI policy
How will the subsequent political realignment play out?
When will national security hawks get involved in AI policy?
Walt argues olds won’t take AI seriously until some AGI steals $100 mil
Art hoes countersignal AI capabilities and stick their head in the sand about it because they wrongly think it will insulate their own status hierarchies
Walt reveals that his Palestinians on Mars story was written by Claude
Is it too late to control the proliferation of AI?
Walt argues the only post-scarcity jobs will be content farmer and hooker
MBE and Walt theorycraft about how to grift off Nazi vs. Jew dynamics
Jews don’t really take right wing antisemitism seriously anymore
Did the Alt Right have anything to do with Jews getting less hypocritical about Zionism vs. WN? Walt wants to mythologize that chronology either way.
Walt feels far more influential today than he was in 2016
Substack is where all the interesting conversations are happening
How MBE views Jews in relation to White people
MBE admits the existence of Jewish dual loyalty and ethnic nepotism but he and Walt agree both of these things aren’t really an issue
These days Jewish guys don’t fetishize Aryan shiksas like in the twentieth century but rather Asian broads or high caste Indian girls
Are East Asian and Indian Zoomer guys still materially less sexually successful than their White counterparts?
How often does MBE’s Jewish identity come up in casual banter etc.?
His experience being friends and roommates with a Palestinian kid
The fast rightward shift of young minority men
Has MBE ever observed Ashkie girls being insecure about their ethnic features?
How being a romantic and an artful misogynist go hand in hand and how that differs from being an unsophisticated chud misogynist
MBE is starting to fantasize about taking the WBE route
Optimizing your life around being hot to girls will prevent you from ascending a masculine status hierarchy and earning genuine respect from other men
Walt explains the complicated answer to whether or not he believes in God
Should Walt convert and become a rabbi like Eric Cartman?
Do Ashkenazim look down on Sephardim and Mizrahim?
Do Jews actually see converts as properly Jewish?
Walt argues most antisemitism is performative at this point
When Walt thinks of “Jews” he thinks of his edgy Substack frens and the art hoes he’s personally dated, not really normie Jews
Walt wants to write an article where he goes to a synagogue and complains that Jews are as boring as Nebraskans
Everyone enjoys playing up their stereotypical characteristics
Walt enjoys racism as a romantic / mythological way to fight the homogenizing libtard grey mush impulse of modernity
