      When I see people like Curtis Yarvin, I sometimes wonder if we can thank things like Dr. Spock for not enough aggressive bullying of Gen X and younger…

    It’s not a “movement”. That makes it sound like there are larger groups of proponents of this.

    It’s literally a few billionaire dickheads who think they are somehow special. That’s it.

      I’m sure there are more than just the billionaires (and centimillionaires) into this.

      This is like a redux of Ayn Rand’s “Going Galt” bullshit, and a lot of people adore her and her really shitty sci-fi and philosophy.

      If you read The Sovereign Individual, you can tell they are trying to make a pitch to the temporarily embarrassed millionaires, too.

    CEOs aren’t interested in nurturing society, investing in civilization, or creating good outcomes for the general populace; all they want is their own wealth and power.

    More crazy shit brought to you by the likes of Thiel, Curtis Yarvin and the authors of The Sovereign Individual.
