no pressure, but any thoughts on the palladium crowd's great founder theory stuff?
They also have this Thiel/Strauss idea that most good socioeconomic niches and effective ways of operating with influential people are kind of hidden.

Replying to
I like parts of model (especially the live player/dead player model) but overall I am definitely an anti-Straussian and have a default hostility to all things Thiel, so I tend to stay away from anything within 2 degrees of Thielverse core institutionally.
Makes sense, I also found that helpful
(To be clear, the Thiel/Strauss comparison is mine, not his!
they just emphasize that you might have to be kind of clever to fight your way to an effective understanding of the world)
Many thanks for your thoughts 😎

Well, he writes for Palladium, and there is a fairly obvious and legible connection between Straussian-Girardian thought and his ideas, so not exactly all in your head.
