> Ryan, you are absolutely right. The natalist movement is points for Felix.
> The venn diagram is at full intersect,  and these folks are curious (at least among the so-called intellectuals in the movement). You have Catholic integralists, CNs from the Claremont Institute, Trad Wives (lots of feminist apostates come to testify), and the TBs. They just had their big conference in Austin, so you can get a helpful list of the players at the site given above. I especially want to draw your attention to Malcom and Simone Collins. They are from the Techno-Puritan faction. They want to be CNs, but without the spiritual stuff. Peter Thiel acolytes. They also are big believers in technological intervention to enhance the reproduction of leaders and innovators.

Essentially, it is a conference on positive eugenics. At this point natalism is not in the mainstream of conservatism, but it's on its way.
