Curtis Yarvin apologized to you in a mea culpa piece that is just out. He admits you were right and he was wrong.

He quotes FDR to explain the error he made , which was basically he underestimated the elasticity of power allowed by your constitution. He said he would give you a bottle of whiskey.

The dark prince of the right. he’s a brilliant thinker and a bit of a jerk. He was very mean to Chris Ruffo and has subsequently apologized. Late last night he posted on Substack.

If you want to read the most important thing published on, Substack, look up Curtis Yarvin brief explanation of the cathedral . Trust me you need this information. Without this information you are misinformed.

OK, I just reread it for like the sixth time. I run a company with 5000 employees 700 clients 200 million in revenue, in business since 1976 and mine since 1994, and from this vantage point I tell you this is how any and all human polities work. Brilliant and new and innovative and the author doesn’t care if you get it.

Have you reread the cathedral piece recently? It’s well worth it. It’s like good hygiene.

Curtis Yarvin ? Who the H is he/it?

Curtis Yarvin, formerly known as Mencius Moldbug, has value as an intelligent outside viewpoint to the current simulacrum of normality that keeps us sleepwalking into oblivion. You can disagree with every single thing he says, but still learn from him. Similarly, I experience profound intellectual differences with my alarm clock every morning, but I still keep it around.

Throgmorton: well said. Curtis is an asshole. But I love it. When I feel down, I go read some Curtis piece from two or three years ago. For me it’s like taking a cleansing shower.
