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.
