You forgot to mention JD Vance who was groomed by Peter Thiel. BTW, I tried to share the email version of this and gmail is blocking it.

My sense of what we have going at this very moment is Yarvinian methodology at work thinly veiled as an elected president. Trump is booting into place everything it takes to structure this kind of technocracy.

Another piece of what is going into the mix is the takeover of Canada and Greenland to literally mine them for minerals required to build the managerial robotics.

One day a dissenter will step into her self driving car and instead of her work place will be delivered to a work camp or a mass grave. There is no place for dissent. Everyone will say yes yes yes or lose their place.

You can dimly see it already. There is a special glee in deporting scientists and scholars. Department of education shut down. Grants pulled from universities who respond by closing admissions to new students. One year of no new medical professionals in a country with too few already.

How do we sound the alarms? How do we find the words and music and pictures to show what it will mean in just a few short years to have a population who has been taught not to think but to accept anything they are told?

Uh, “Government as good as your United healthcare” might do the trick to illuminate those in the dark

What Yarvin envisions for you is an insect-like existence. You would be the equivalent of a an ant in an anti colony of likewise a bee in a bee colony. No freedom to run lobo away from the pack. There is no happiness without freedom. Consider the horrid Hermit Kingdom and the poor people who live there as slaves to the dictator.

Hear, hear! Curtis Yarvin is still relatively obscure compared to the threat his ideas pose to us all, as are those of Peter Thiel.

The portrait of Curtis Yarwin shown in this post, is the portrait which I title his “il Duce” portrait. Many of those who have written about him, who consider him to be a folk God, will use this portrait.

Many other pictures of him illustrate what a dweeb he really is.

JD Vance even quoted him in an interview

This is also a must see to understand their plan

I want to be a citizen in a nation that has a policy of countering climate change with ecosystem restoration and significant, ongoing financial contributions to the global efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions. I want to be a citizen of a nation with plenty of wildlife and habitat, free education K-12, health care for all, an equitable tax system that prevents dire poverty, a birth control policy that works for a sustainable population, enjoyment of the arts, 100% literacy, a free press, an honorable place among the nations of earth, non fossil fuel energy sources. Let's see. . .that's Uruguay! https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/uruguay/

This ideology explains most of the strategy of this administration

This sounds like a technological version of the “Hotel California” where you can check-in but you can never leave. Why would a gov-corporation ever let you move freely between corporations, accumulate assets or amass individual power?

Curtis Yarvin’s historical anecdotes are typically deeply ahistorical, to the point of outright fabrication. His writing is full of misrepresentations, cherry picked examples, and bizarre anachronisms to lie about history to try and sell a version of aristocratic order that never really existed. His supposed insights into historical governance structures, such the Roman Empire (and, like, which version as there were effectively several), or 19th c European monarchies, are factually incorrect and selectively edited, and in some important ways even completely imagined. Whats more telling is his relentless promotion of Elite Theory, a theory thats been full of holes since its inception and was substantively torn apart in American discourse when it first made the rounds in the early 20th century. The American Old Republic both disproves it and proves a cognitively superior governance architecture based around democracy. The pre-centralization United States had deeply decentralized political, economic, scientific, and institutional structures with a political system dominated by decentralized and publicly accessible mass member parties that not only allowed for widespread participation but also wildly outperformed the kinds of aristocratic and hierarchical systems Yarvin calls for. And I would reiterate, his historical narratives, including about America, are verifiably false.

This sounds like one of P.K. Dick’s dystopian nightmare worlds, where all human values have been replaced by corporate imperatives and the autonomic algorithms of machines. But in Dick’s stories, the hero—and it could be an alien or an android—is the one in which kindness and spontaneous compassion (the essence of humanness in his view) reigns. It’s as if these people read his stories and identified with the insanity rather than the sanity.

What Yarvin wants is already here for the most part - Sadly- we already have a corporate olicharchy - this is mostly taking out the next step and not even hiding the fact - perhaps Yarvin and Theil are doing is a favor by exposing there objectives.
