So tldr on "supremacy" thing: yarvin backchannel-baited aaronson into overreacting to some aspirational overreach by a band of the awokened ones, thereby turning it into actual overreach. These people all deserve each other

Ancillary Supremacy is basically the Fukuyama Last Man thesis. A big AI-type deep state staffed by daughters who kinda rule it. Like how in anthills the queen is actually the slave of the "daughters" in genetic terms.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1208459177607102464 …
