On this episode we're joined by Curtis Yarvin to talk about the HBO series The Young Pope and Bogle Petit Syrah (2018). Thanks for watching! Subscribe to Curtis Yarvin's Substack at graymirror.substack.com
I love how Yarvin pops up in the most random youtube backwaters. No disrespect to this channel- I’m a first time viewer and thoroughly enjoyed the vid.
Love me some Yarvin. He's smart as hell, his ideas, though they've been somewhat resurrected, still come across as fresh and new, and he's subtly hilarious. Also just realized the same director that made The Young Pope also did The Hand of God. Both were awesome.

Curtis' assessment of ironic yet respectful has been my view of the musical The Book of Mormon. I come to this from a secular but questioning viewpoint.
That prediction beginning at 1:06:00 is pretty insane, but it’s hard to find where Curtis is wrong. The CBP has been an ailing, politically maligned, understaffed mess for a very long time. I could easily see an informal destruction of the agency where personnel become glorified military police/peace corps/UN refugee camp overseers.
The only solution is for red states to either literally divorce themselves or subliminally do it. Yet I doubt we have the balls to pull ourselves together and actually do it, and thus the fate of 40,000,000 migrants per month in a decade or two, will probably fall upon us.
If you want a powerful expression of petit syrah, Quixote from Napa, or stag's leap's petit and their 'high end' ne cede malis...fruit from adjacent vineyards on the eastern side of the valley, stones throw from the great Shafer sunspot vineyard...phenomenally rich and dense
I am curious what kind of furniture is tucked away in the Article box. I would think with all of the substack subscriptions, cousin curt could afford at least West Elm or Pottery Barn. His use of a standard dynamic mic (which he amazingly clipped when impersonating Samuel El Jackson) and his shoulder hair reeks of normcore. But his purchase of assumingely mid-century mod basic white girl vanity makes me think he is on to something we don’t know. Please elaborate your furniture choice curt
Embrace tradition; but reject Catholicsm. You can be Orthodox Lutheran or Eastern Orthodox instead. I can't agree with some theological aspects of Catholicsm.
@@Cuyt24 I understand. It is the only western faith that is so complex in the details, the ceremony, the philosophy, that I am not compelled to understand. I’m free to be in awe without having the need to know the why. For me. surrendering to majesty and belief and just doing it is profoundly freeing. No lecture. No wisdom for me to take home. A solemn celebration of Jesus Christ in an ancient language I don’t understand. The Mass has nothing to do with me or my struggles, it’s the metaphysical reenactment of his church worshipping at Christ’s feet while he is on the Cross at Calvary. He is literally there at the Mass, suffering. Then, he is resurrected in front of our eyes and offers us his flesh and blood. I’m looking in awe at my savior. If that makes sense. If a Theological Foundation delivers Me to his presence, I’ll take it and resign my intellect..
@@iluvmusicqwe that is a part of Catholicism. Being compelled to participate without belief or with doubt. You just leave before the mass of the faithful. Every Trad Mass has two section, the first is for the doubtful sinner and the other for the believer. It is already baked in. So, not weird. They built the institution for the unbeliever. That’s who God wants. If they have found meaning in his Mass, they have found meaning in Him. Showing up is the first step in faith. They have been called, it takes time to hear.
Yeah but the first season was cut short, so it jumped all over the place and was kind of incoherent, so the second season whilst not necessarily better, was certainly more coherent.
Curtis. You missed a wee one. In spite of the uselessness of Catholicism., it’s been around a long, long time. That equals to doing something right. Occam would agree with that.
The "arbitrary" God is still a philosophical God. It's just the more accurate philosophy. God isn't arbitrary, but He is in principle inscrutable to those of us who can only experience Now.
I have no idea what you just said. God from philosophy is more like the precepts from the Tao than Atheism. An entity above 'beings' or merely a super-being like a skydaddy. Idk why Curtis puts so much weight into atheism, he doesn't even seem to be really an athiest, he just rejects the 'skydaddy' theism, which should be rejected, and I say that as someone trying to grapple with Catholicism in a serious way
John Malkovich is insufferable, I hated the second season, but I stopped watching after John Malkovich's character references John Malkovich. Thanks for breaking the immersion. And F that show. First season I really liked though.
Curtis has alot of good observations about Christianity, but his analysis of Christian history, dogma, denominations, and practice are pretty anomalous. I don't know if he just makes it up off the cuff, or if he thinks these ideas really hold together, but there's alot of misunderstanding about Catholicism, Protestantism, Calvinism, etc.
