Re: What does virtue signalling mean?

'virtue signaling' is the idea that, basically, sometimes people do things just because they're concerned about looking like a good person and for no other reason. Believe it comes out of economics. It's a valid idea but it gets overused. It's popular among a lot of anti-SJW places, the alt right, etc because it can explain away literally any ideology they disagree with.

Specifically, I think it comes out of one of the George Mason economic professor technocrat-liberal-libertarian blogs, but I can't remember if it's Tyler Cowen or Robin Hanson

Also, all of the people who want to rant about Less Wrong and the rationalists and the alt right should probably pay more attention to the George Mason crowd and the Hbd people, because all this stuff has been around.
