This podcast from Mencius Moldbug contains a lot of insight per unit time. https://hermitix.podiant.co/e/gray-mirror-of-the-nihilist-prince-with-curtis-yarvin-38944b9503451c/ … I don't agree with all of it though. [1/thread]

Moldbug wants to defeat the Wokeist Revolution the same way the USSR and Eastern bloc fell - by letting it win and then waiting for it to "go stale". The dynamic is that when The Party is fighting an actual enemy, it's full of energetic & earnest people and does well. [2/..]

But once it wins, internal Party power dynamics replace all the actual believers with cynical slaves to power. This process takes ~50 years and ruins the lives of most people in the country, then The Party collapses because it becomes common knowledge that The Party sucks. [3/.]

If The West is driven into the ground over the next 50 years by Woke totalitarians and everyone's lives are ruined, but at the end of it everyone realises that Wokeism sucks, that will have been a disaster. [4/.]

Saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease. It may seem like a weird context for me to grind this particular axe, but lies about nutrition are some of the most destructive lies our institutions ever told.

Replying to @jimrandomh @RokoMijicUK
I was torn when reading the tweet between "damn Roko, great way of putting it - that really is the fundamental problem with the approach Curtis is openly advocating [whether it's sincere or not, who's to say]" vs "Saturated fat is actually good for you"

Yarvin's solution? Yes, partly. It's about distinguishing effective action from ineffective action and he's not going to talk about actual effective action since most people who think they are doing that are not.
