In a comeback for Psyphilopod, Bo and Ben Winegard, MZ Twins, take the helm and discuss evolutionary psychology, intelligence, and polices. They start with natural and sexual selection. Then they talk about modularity. Modules are domain specific processing systems that evolved to solve recurrent evolutionary challenges. However, not all features of the human mind/brain are modular. Intelligence seems domain general. (Perhaps it is domain specific to novelty!)

Politics are caused and constrained by human nature. Humans are implacably competitive, so any political ideology that minimizes competition is probably a bad ideology. In the modern West, society seems to be pulling apart based on certain traits such as intelligence and self-control. Those higher in IQ and self-control (and more educated) are largely thriving. Those lower are not. And these two groups, which we can, following David Goodhart, call "somewheres" and "anywheres" are creating two more and more disparate cultures and competing against each other for limited resources and cultural status. Populism can be viewed as a response to the cultural ascendancy of the anywheres.
