Appreciate this work. I’m a progressive. I was told Yarvin had dangerous ideas. Maybe. Don’t know that I’m smart enough to have an opinion. I do like his writing. Sounds like a man having fun. Sounds like what I thought about Nietzsche reading TSZ. ‘I don’t know what you are getting at, but I love your zeal.’ I like your website too. If there is one thing Yarvin, you and I can agree on maybe, it’s we miss the old internet.
People will use their UBI checks to buy their own robots that will grow their own food, and help meet their own needs. Once AGI exists people will be empowered beyond imagination.
Never heard of this dude, but one whiff of jis wikipedia page strikes me that curtis doesnt even know hes just another confused leftard. Somehow his advocacy for monarchies is being conflated with the rights advocy of limited govt despite curtis' clear comfortability with strong central authority...which is the central core belief of the left.

You don’t need to trust him, my friend. He has stated himself that he is attempting to persuade people with power because they are the only ones who can have an impact for the good of everyone.
I will say I don’t disagree with his opinions as quoted in this video that he “believes in the old fashioned way of thinking” cause I have met men who have had that way of thinking but to quote Simone de Beauvoir “No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.” Or “If the feminine issue is so absurd, is because the male's arrogance made it "a discussion” those quotes are the reasons as to why it makes me disagree with his opinions on women.
Curtis Yarvin is what happens when rich kids grow up on the internet, read Ayn Rand, have no social skills and let the high grades and high IQs fool them into thinking they are a super race. JD Vance, another super smart accomplished dummy, is a perfect example of this.
