With the exception of Michael Anissimov we moved to The Future Primaeval. We will be reposing our archives there as well shortly.

These three posts should be a good introduction for the new site:

Edit: Many posts from the MoreRight archives can now be found under this tag.

And two new pieces rationalists might be interested in:

It seems Michael has since deleted the statement, it can still be found on internet archive, reproducing it here.

Announcing “The Future Primaeval”

Posted on May 21, 2015 by Future Primaeval

We started More Right in 2013 because we’d moved significantly to the right of what was easy to discuss in our previous home of LessWrong, and were flirting with this new “Neoreaction” thing. We wanted a space where we could develop our ideas, get in on the ground floor of Neoreaction, and say some new stuff. We were just a collection of rationalists with reactionary ideas; we didn’t have much formal structure, or any idea what we were doing, or where we were going with this.

From that start, I think we’ve done very well. Since starting MoreRight, our ideas both about the subject matter and about how we want to approach it have advanced a great deal, in some cases converging, in some cases diverging, and our relationships and attitudes have greatly matured. We are in a much better position now than we were. But all things eventually outlive their usefulness, partially because of this advancement.

MoreRight has become more distinctively Michael’s project, both because of his prolific writing and the direction of his ideological development. But our vision for the right way to do this thing, what theoretical ideas and approaches are interesting, and the correct course for the future of MoreRight and Neoreaction in general has diverged from his. Having advanced in our understanding of what we want to do, More Right no longer makes sense as the institution from which to do it.

We are therefor excited to announce that the quieter authors here (Samo, Athrelon, Nyan, Erik, etc) are moving on to a new project that better suits our vision. It’s a new group blog dedicated to rationality, proper lifestyle and conduct, and neoreactionary theory. So please do come and check out The Future Primaeval if you have liked our work so far and wish to keep up with it in the future.

Michael will remain here and take ownership of MoreRight. We don’t know what he will do with it, but we wish him luck in his future work. To afford Michael the greatest freedom in doing with MoreRight what he thinks is right without stepping on our toes, we will be pulling our content from here and reposting it with some slight reworking on The Future Primaeval.

So here’s to the future that’s always been, by the inevitable accumulation of local order in a decaying universe; The Future Primaeval. May it accept our humble sacrifice of local entropy, and be kind to us. Please join us for the ride.

This is the parting statement of the Future Primaeval writers.
