Another Yarvin Quote

My interest in Curtis Yarvin’s writings was not supported here at the blog but I don’t care because it offers me great emotional succor to sit at the meetings where colleagues express gratitude and excitement about being thrown out of their jobs for the purposes of streamlining and read Yarvin. It’s my big ef you to everybody who designed this situation.

Here’s a quote I wanted to share today:

The Congress can do anything, but it is both rigged to the gills for incumbency, and about as popular as snakes. While this was much the reverse of the Founders’ intent—while the Senate was meant to reflect the continuity of noble family and great wealth, the House was designed as a raging furnace of turbulent democracy, not a memory clinic for platinum incumbents—the Founders themselves rigged the Supreme Court for incumbency. They did not make it supreme over the other two branches—yet there was no other way the machine they designed could have operated. In a lot of ways the idea was good… but… still, what we are looking
at here is just a way to not have democracy, while still pretending to have democracy. There are worse things. For instance, we could actually have democracy.

It’s hard to disagree that yes, it would be worse, after observing the chimpanzees in action. I mean, they vote for Ilhan Omar and her twin Marjorie Taylor Green. They repost every bit of manipulative lies they are fed and have no self-control or capacity to boundary up.

  1. I support your interest in his writings. If at least you manage to derive some value from them, I feel marginally better that he exists and inflicts his dumb blog on the rest of us.

  2. I appreciate your writings on Yarvin. While he’s not a deep thinker or important philosopher, he’s helping me a to understand the current environment. I knew we were heading towards an authoritarian form of government, but this puts a little more shape to what that looks like.

    My main objection, is the same as everything else. Lots and lots of criticism with the existing system, but no real good proposal as to what may work better. I seriously doubt any tech monarchy is going to work any better. And nothing that Yarvin has written about seems tondispel this.
