Preface quote for 'Virtue Signaling'
Here’s the start of the preface to my new book ‘Virtue Signaling: Essays on Darwinian politics & free speech’, released tomorrow.

"We all virtue-signal. I virtue-signal; you virtue-signal; we virtue-signal.
And those guys over there, in that political tribe we don’t like – they especially virtue-signal. (Just as they believe that we do.)
Let’s not pretend otherwise. We are humans, and humans love to show off our moral virtues, ethical principles, religious convictions, political attitudes, and lifestyle choices to other humans. We have virtue-signaled ever since prehistoric big-game hunters shared meat with the hungry folks in their clan, or cared for kids who weren’t their own. Our descendants will continue to virtue-signal to each other in Mars colonies, and on spaceships heading for other star systems. As humans colonize the galaxy, virtue-signaling will colonize the galaxy. "
