> the “Tech Right”’s lack of a moral compass (of the Christian sort)

Here’s one update I suggest for you: The Christian/Nietzschian divide definitely runs through the tech right, and tbh even through the hearts of many key figures on the tech right.

If you aren’t talking to some people who think it’s both time to build and time to accept Christ you’ll be missing a fascinating part of what’s going on.

What makes the matter so tricky, in my opinion, is that, as soon as it comes to elections and political decisions, the exciting inner complexity of political discourse is sharpened into a binary opposition – especially in a two-party system. This is partly due to the logic of political communication, but not exclusively. An interesting question for me is, therefore, How can a political order be designed to open up discourse in concrete decision-making processes rather than closing it off? How can it promote case-by-case decisions that are less about following an absolute guiding principle (e.g., innovation) and more about considering the impact of a specific decision on people's lives, asking whether it makes life better?
