Reliable sources report that if you subscribe to FoxNation for a mere $5.99 a month, you will receive access to a wide variety of top-notch intellectual content (with some eagles, flags, etc), including—my new hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson…
Whenever I hear Curtis talking about these oligarchic bureaucracies, It always reminds me of the paperclip maximizer problem. Isn't a bureaucracy just an AI that runs on groupthink and paperwork? The problem isn't so much that they exist, but that they can never be turned off once the task has been accomplished because the nature of oligarchic power structures simply doesn't have that functionality built in. Once you open up such a program (bureaucracy) in the oligarchic run-time environment, the only way to kill that task is to wait until it causes the entire system to crash. Essentially his whole message is don't attempt to run bureaucracies outside of the monarchic operating system.
You melted his brain, and mine. I can't decide what I'm currently enjoying more after having found you via Tucker: your content or your commenters. "Shit-posting philosophers" is a glorious category that I didn't know existed. I want to find this in real life. Okay bye, I'm re-entering my catch-up reading wormhole.
I was mesmerized and loved it. My wife who is unfamiliar with Curtis' work was initially quite interested but became frustrated when he took so long to answer the question and get to the point and fell asleep. When she woke up, I explained that this meandering style was a thing and something to be savored and the detours really did provide context and depth and support the eventual main point. I had to give two minute summaries of the main points at the end which I happily did.
Seriously, congrats dude. You are one of my biggest formative influences since around 2013, just as you went dark. It's awesome to see you back and spreading ideas that are important to me because of you.

Fox News can thank Mr. Yarvin for the 99 cent intro month they got from me.
Meanwhile it has been funny to watch "a free market would support xyz" libertarians all hunting for a pirated version.
The king called the jester over. "Jester, tell me a joke about ME!" "Sire, the king may never be a subject...of my jokes."
I just imagine Jeff Bezos watching these and be like.. I can do it
dude, WHAT?!?
