Age of Malthusian Industrialism

The Age of Malthusian Industrialism series is an extended exploration of a future scenario: In the decades and centuries to come, technological progress will slow to a crawl, as dysgenic reproduction patterns deplete the world’s remaining smart fractions (assuming that there are no abrupt discontinuities in humanity’s capacity for collective problem solving, such as genetic IQ augmentation or machine superintelligence). In the meantime, due to fertility preferences being heritable and ultra-competitive in a post-Malthusian world, populations will explode, as the world enters an epochal baby boom not long after 2100. This renewed demographic expansion will last until the world hits the carrying capacity of the late industrial economy, which will usher in the Age of Malthusian Industrialism.

Russia

I started my blogging career as a “Russia watcher” at the Da Russophile blog in January 2008, so to this end I segregated all related posts so that they wouldn’t dominate the other sections. There is a far more comprehensive archive at The Best of Da Russophile, a large archive I made in 2014 to mark the formal end of the Da Russophile blog.

Some of my most important articles include the following:

• Reading Russia Right (2008): My second post on this blog, and still as relevant as ever.
• Kremlin Dreams Sometimes Come True (2009): Stagnation isn’t the future.
• Top 50 Russophobe Myths (2009): A huge set of arguments against the anti-Russian consensus in the West (disclaimer: while I don’t fully agree with many of them, it would be a good exercise for the Kremlinologists to try to refute them).
• Responses to Common Russophobe “Arguments” (2009): Identifies some common red herrings and strawmen used by Russophobes to attack their opponents.
• The Putin Trolls: Russia Watchers in Their Own Words… (2010-2011)

  

• Why Russians like Putin’s Russia (2010)
• Rosstat and Levada are Russophobia’s Bane (2010): Why the data from Russia’s statistics service and opinion polls overturn practically every Kremlinologist canard about “repressive”, “declining” Russia.
• *RUSSIAN LIFE* The Kremlinologist Catechism (2010): Summary of the above.

In addition to the above, there were two major translation-related projects in the course of my Russia coverage during the 2010s.

The Russian Spectrum (2013): Short-lived media translation project during 2013.

The Khomogorov Reader (2017-2018): My former blog at The Unz Review is the primary source for English translations of Russian national-conservative philosopher Egor Kholmogorov, which were carried out over the course of a few years by the translator Fluctuarius Argenteus and myself. There was an idea to convert it into an English language anthology of modern Russian nationalist thought, but it is currently dormant.

The Russia Debate forum was a short-lived project to provide a central discussion hub for Russia watchers from all over the political spectrum.

Русская Ноосфера

Репатриант, коренной москвич, публицист, трансгуманист.

Уроженец России. В 1990-е уехал в Великобританию, затем долгое время жил в Калифорнии, где получил диплом по политической экономии в Университете Беркли. В 2016 году вернулся в Россию.

В 2017 году стал одним из трёх основателей легендарного подкаста ROGPR, который менее чем за год своего существования положил начало эпохе русского правого подкастинга.
