They're not your friends.

So I read a lot of Curtis Yarvin back then, and I...

Do not recommend that that exercise to anyone else.

He is a terrible writer.

He's a muddled thinker but mostly he's just he's just kind of like a contrarian but like a contrarian to Whatever would piss off a liberal, you know what I mean?

So he he is

Or even a liberal in the sense of a conservative, a right liberal, someone who's a Republican but believes in the American founding very strongly, as most have historically, right?

Curtis Yarvin thinks that the revolution was a mistake, for example.

He's kind of a monarchist, but not really.

He's also a Silicon Valley type.

who wants something a little more technocratic than a monarch, kind of like a stakeholder government.

I mean, it's ridiculous.

It's not even worth taking seriously for five minutes.

The fact that he's at all an influential character right now is just such a sad statement.

I really have very little respect for Patrick Deneen and Yoram Hazzoni, very, very little, but at least they have some intellectual credentials.

Not even like...

they actually can write an intellectual argument.

You know what I mean?

These people that are sort of the court philosophers of people like Peter Thiel in Silicon Valley are just not even thinkers.

They're just performers.
