Podcast appearances and mentions of Curtis Yarvin

Peter Thiel of Palantir is hosting a lecture series on the Antichrist in San Francisco between September 15 and October 6, 2025. Entirely secretive, the talk is put on by Acts 17 Collective, referring to the Biblical book of Acts wherein we read about how the divine being is not like material things (gold and silver) but instead something far more valuable. Is this ironic or intentional? Many see this as the fulfillment of prophecy, but perhaps it is the fulfilling of pop-culture prophecy instead. Perhaps technocrats are playing and preying on 4 billion Christians and Muslims to run a scenario designed to strip away faith in the divine and parlay it into technology. A satirizing of eschatology? The tech-bros believe that God messed up and man can fix it by replacing organic creation with synthetics. Everlasting life can be achieved through gold and silver (material means) which will extinguish the real spiritual nature of mankind - the true gold that is ‘Christ' consciousness - and replace it with antichrist consciousness. In the process, vampires like Thiel will feed on your corpse. True eternal life begins with recognizing death and choosing to make the world a better place anyways rather than becoming a nihilist. It is the choice of Christ consciousness and of faith in what lies beyond. One often overlooked detail of the technocracy is the apparent obsession with homosexuality, transgenderism, and Judaism. Consider the gay technocrats of Thiel, Yuval Harari, Sam Altman, and the debated sexuality of Alex Karp. All but Thiel are also Jewish, as is Larry Ellison and Curtis Yarvin, the man giving JD Vance many of his philosophical ideas. In fact, Thiel and Yarvin created Vance and influence him through their Dark Enlightenment philosophy, which wants to replace governments with a techno-monarchy equivalent to the Christian concept of a NWO. Are their Homosexual practices recycling sexual energy to create synthetic life? Homosexuality is also a rejection of God's creation, which is why so many Jews embrace not just homosexuality but the entirety of LGBTQ. People like Sam Altman have placed the hexagram into his ChatGPT logo while he has unveiled an ORB device that is a machine which confirms your humanity. We need only recall Matthew 26 where the high priest Pharisees accuse Jesus of being the Son of God to which Jesus rejects such a notion and lectures them on the end of their monopoly over salvation. The tech-bros are the modern pharisees and they not only reject Christ, but intend to convince his followers to fight a Holy War, and then offer salvation from the destruction with their vampiric machines. Alex Karp has promised a 3-front war is coming and Larry Ellison did say that most of the advanced AI technology was coming from Herzliya Israel, not Silicon Valley, which would make it a brother to transgenderism which finds its home in Tel Aviv. If all of this is slightly more true then it means Israel is the beast and the Balfour Declaration of 1917 was the dragon giving power unto the same. This is probably why the Trump administration has given military roles to the tech-bros and held high-profile dinners for Silicon Valley technocrats who he is himself a slave too. Hence the cutting of his right ear as a result of an assassination attempt, which Biblically speaks to the servant of the high priest, which in the Church of Satan is MAGA.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Sam and Dylan are back to break down Gideon surveillance services, Robin, nerd fights, passing, Trump's disappearance, Dominos, lip pillows plus Dark Smith gets a camera.  You slam a big coffee at 9:30 at night, talk about hot chicks, and then it spirals into 5G towers shaking us like microwaves. In this episode, we go all in on the strangest and most outrageous conspiracies. We question whether dinosaurs ever existed or if they were actually Nephilim giants straight out of the Bible, and whether Lucifer himself is in the Vatican From there it only gets wilder. Space isn't what you think — maybe it's a giant liquid, a collapsing well of gas. We debate the jab, laugh about the madness of conspiracy culture, and throw ourselves into questions that nobody else dares to ask We hit everything from Trump and JD Vance to portals on the White House lawn. Tucker Carlson interviewing on the front lawn of a building that looks like it's built from shadows, portals opening and disappearing, and the fear that something big is coming. JD is called an empty vessel, a puppet waiting to be filled by powers we don't see It's not all doom. There are ghost cats haunting studios, fecal matter from beyond the veil, and the weird comedy of being surrounded by dead cats and wild theories. We shout out the fans, call out the haters, and even joke about how many women are brave enough to watch this circus This is raw conspiracy comedy. It's outrageous, it's unfiltered, and it's wall-to-wall chaos. If you're tired of mainstream narratives and want to laugh while questioning everything, this is your spot.

In some policy circles, the idea of the U.S. electing a CEO-style dictator running the country like a company is gaining momentum. But should the idea be embraced? Those proposing the Dictator CEO, like Curtis Yarvin, argue it would challenge existing institutions and deliver cutthroat efficiency. But democracy advocates, like E. Glen Weyl, argue that consolidating power under one leader undermines the core values fundamental to America's political system. Now we debate: Should the U.S. Be Ruled by a CEO Dictator?  Arguing Yes: Curtis Yarvin, Anti-democracy theorist and Tech Entrepreneur  Arguing No: E.

What's the matter with America? We've been told for years about the dumb working class MAGA voter. That they are exploited by Trump, that their interests are the reverse of a self-interested Republican cultural or economic elite. But according to the iconoclastic Tablet magazine contributor Michael Lind, we've got it the wrong way around. MAGA Voters are anything but stupid, he argues. That's why they don't care what dissenting podcasters like Tucker Carlson think. Instead, they're making rational choices based on their material interests, not blindly following con-celebs like Carlson, Laura Loomer or Curtis Yarvin. The real Trump coalition consists of two groups that pundits consistently misunderstand: reliable Republican voters who will support any GOP presidential nominee, and more crucially, swing voters in swing states. Rather than following the latest ideological dramas between right-wing influencers, these supposedly swing-voting “low-information voters” are making practical decisions about their lives. So actually, Lind implies, echoing other contrarian American populists like Thomas Frank, there's nothing the matter with a United States that somebody representing the class interests of ordinary Americans couldn't fix. 1. Right-Wing Influencers Have Zero Real Political Power Podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and Curtis Yarvin may dominate online political discourse, but they have "next to no influence on actual policy." When they turn against Trump, there are no electoral consequences because they don't command actual voter armies—just online audiences.2. MAGA Voters Are Making Rational Economic Calculations The "low-information" swing voters who decide elections aren't following ideological media rabbit holes. They're high school or some-college educated people making practical decisions about their material interests, not consuming political content or caring about intellectual debates among conservative influencers.3. America Is Experiencing a Class War Between Managers and Everyone Else The real divide isn't left vs. right but between a highly credentialed "managerial elite" who control large institutions and an unlikely coalition of working-class voters and outsider entrepreneurs (like Silicon Valley founders) who resent bureaucratic control.4. Trump Rebuilt FDR's Coalition for the Republican Party Through a complete partisan realignment, Trump assembled the same geographic and demographic base that supported Democrats from Andrew Jackson through LBJ—while today's Democratic Party represents the Northeastern establishment that Republicans used to champion.5. The Solution Requires Rebuilding Civil Society, Not Better Politicians America's crisis stems from over-centralization and the collapse of intermediate institutions like unions, local political parties, and churches. Real change requires "democratic pluralism"—giving ordinary people power between elections through rebuilt grassroots organizations, not just voting for better candidates every few years.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Fascism means many things but among its many noxious characteristics is Racism and Nationalism.  Today we will hear a talk by Devin Burghart, Executive Director of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights (IREHR).  Devin spoke by Zoom to people gathered for a Tuesday Teach-In on July 22, 2025. https://irehr.org/ Since 1983, IREHR has served as a social justice organization dedicated to standing against bigotry and defending democracy and human rights. They unmask movements, organizations, and individuals that threaten democracy and human rights. They support movements advancing human rights. They use investigative research and strategic organizing to counter racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, nativism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry. Devin Burghart gave a frightening history of white supremacy terrorism in this country. Burghart traces the current strain of bigotry and hatred evident in parts of MAGA back to earlier movements including Asiatic Exclusion League of 1907, home and church bombings of civil rights activists of the 1960s, the anti-immigrant movement of the 1970s, the emergence of the Tea Party, and the current day neo reactionary, anarcho-libertarian "tech bros", i.e., Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Alex Carp, and Curtis Yarvin. “From Margins to Mainstream” - How the racist right has grown in power and influence presented by Devin Burghart, Executive Director Institute for Research and Education in Human Rights. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.  

Stel je een wereld voor waarin het kapitalisme ongehinderd zijn eigen koers vaart, de mens slechts een biologisch opzetje is en de eindbestemming een door computers gecodeerde techno-samenleving. Dit is het tech-utopisme van de Amerikaanse blogger Nick Land en de Britse filosoof Curtis Yarvin. Zij vormen de kern van het accelerationisme: een hypertechnologische ideologie uit Silicon Valley die stelt dat we het kapitalisme moeten versnellen om een post-menselijke eindfase te bereiken. Op merkwaardige wijze raakte de stroming verbonden met de MAGA-populisten, door een gedeelde fascinatie voor eindtijddenken en mystieke toekomstfantasieën. Hoe is het mogelijk dat deze obscure denkers ineens in de invloedssfeer van het Witte Huis terecht zijn gekomen? Wat verbindt de Silicon-Valley-miljardairs met de MAGA-populist? Hoe vindt een futuristische, post-humanistische filosofie raakvlakken met de conservatieve Amerikaan? Deze week gaat Kees van den Bosch in gesprek met Joris Melman over de opkomst van het accelerationisme, de ‘Dark Enlightenment’ en de grote invloed van de Silicon Valley-ondernemers op het Witte Huis.

In this episode, I talk with Adina Glickstein — Master's student in Media Studies under Nathan Schneider at UC Boulder and editor-at-large at Spike Art Magazine — whose recent Compact Mag article, The Rise and Fall of Urbit finally gave me the excuse to talk about Urbit on the podcast and why its failing.We unpack what Urbit is trying to be (although many don't seem to agree), its creator Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug, philosopher of the alt-right), and how its governance structure mirrors his anti-democratic ideals. Adina shares her experience moving from enthusiasm to disillusionment — from Berlin meetups to Urbit Assembly, to witnessing the project lean into neo-colonial “exit” politics.We also get into the reactionary politics inside the Urbit community, the recent leadership coup pitting long-time developers against Yarvin and his backers, and how this drama unexpectedly created a demand for “voice” in a system designed entirely around “exit.” Links:User Error — Adina's monthly tech column for Spike Art MagazineThe Rise and Fall of Urbit — Adina's piece in Compact MagAdina on InstagramThis episode is sponsored by NYM, the world's most private VPN.

It may be the dog days of summer, but the art world doesn't take a break, and there's plenty to talk about for our monthly roundup episode, where we parse and analyze the biggest headlines shaping the art world and industry. In this episode, we take a look at what is going on in the art scenes across London, New York, and Berlin, including some of the biennials going on this summer. Then, we get into the headlines: including a dive into a long-gestating biopic by actor Johnny Depp, called Modì: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. The new film is Depp's first directorial effort in nearly three decades, and it dramatizes 72 chaotic hours in the artist Amedeo Modigliani's life as he chases around early 20th-century Paris with artists Chaim Soutine and Maurice Utrillo. We also talk about Depp's new art drop. Is it all a rebranding exercise? After that, we break down the intrigue swirling around the U.S. pavilion for next year's Venice Biennale and what it might reveal about American cultural diplomacy in 2025. Within that fold, we take stock of a proposal from controversy-loving artist Andres Serrano and another idea from far-right American blogger Curtis Yarvin. Last but not least, we analyze the Labubu mania, a craze for these mischievous little dolls that has finally made its way into the art world and into the market. National art critic Ben Davis and our editor-in-chief, Naomi Rea joined senior editor Kate Brown on the podcast to talk about it all.

Subscribe to one of the paid tiers on the PPM Patreon to access "AmerIsraeli Yarvin of Lead" in its entirety: patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingPicking our AmerIsraeli Years of Lead & PayPal Mafia Occupied Gov't investigation back up, we begin by synopsizing some of the basics of Curtis Yarvin's Neoreactionary (NRx) politics. We then move into an incomplete parapower mapping of his influence on the current Trump administration and their PayPal Mafia benefactors, illustrating how Elon's DOGE is the direct successor of Yarvin's RAGE concept. We detail how his Thiel backed distributed message board software Urbit is basically a repackaging of Usenet. We then shift gears into into the ironic psychodrama of Yarvin's advocacy for a government bureaucracy-purging coup by virtue of his father Herbert's multi-decade "Foreign Service" career. This brings us to one of the primary fulcrums of this investigation, the reasonable-but-thus-far unverifiable suspicion that Herbert Yarvin may have actually been a CIA officer/agent or analyst under diplomatic cover, and the reality that, either way, Curtis Yarvin is a kind of spooky deep state nepo-baby, context that should reorient perspectives when it comes to his pseud career as a theorist of “Cathedral” disruption.We then gloss some evidence supporting Herbert-Yarvin-as-Company-man by way of his Brown University Philosophy program peer Arnold Cusmariu, who worked as an philosophical analyst for the agency for more than 3 decades, much of which overlapped with Yarvin's Foreign Service career. We layout how a PoliSci faculty member named Lyman Kirkpatrick, who happened to be former top brass at the CIA and a onetime DCI hopeful, attempted to recruit Arnold Cusmariu in the ‘70s, showing that there is a high probability that Curtis Yarvin's Dad and Arnold knew each other by way of their shared thesis faculty advisor Ernest Sosa, increasing the chances they may have been part of the same Company cohort (we also hint at the void of evidence supporting Curtis' Mom's purported State career, which could be suspicious in its own right).We then discuss how both Curtis and his brother Norman were “gifted & talented” students and the recipients of scholarships from the State Department and that Curtis even partook in this groundbreaking longitudinal Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth at Johns Hopkins as a preteen, which was administered by the Godfather of the nationwide gifted ed programs of the late ‘80s, ‘90s, and early ‘00s... Which is intriguing considering some of Yarvin's fellow alumni Precocious Math study alumni are Epstein affiliate Sergey Brin (2 months younger than Curtis) and Mark Zuckerberg. We also examine his child prodigy escapades through the prism of online rumors that GATE was basically a covert CIA mind control talent search. We draw some loose deep politics comparisons to figures like Michael Riconosciuto, Ted Kaczynski, Jack Sarfatti, and the strategy of tension theorists.

The Bay Area is typically known as an incubator of left-of-center ideas. But in recent years, it has become known as the source of an ideology influencing the Trump administration, a belief system journalist Gil Duran describes as “tech fascism.” In his newsletter “The Nerd Reich,” Duran looks at how controversial writers such as Curtis Yarvin—who has argued that the United States should be a “monarchy” run by a “CEO”—have shaped the views of some of Trump's top advisors, like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, as well as vice-president J.D. Vance.  Duran, who formerly served as spokesman and political strategist for Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, joins us to talk about his reporting on this distinctive strain of Silicon Valley conservatism and its influence on local and national politics.

What does it mean when people start calling Donald Trump a king? And why are some political theorists — on both the right and left — exploring the possibility of leaving democracy behind? All this debate got co-host Tom Ginsburg thinking about an argument he's been turning over in his head for years: could constitutional monarchy actually be the best form of government?Is it possible that constitutional monarchy actuallystrengthensdemocracy? Do monarchs serve as symbols of national unity that modern republics are missing? And is America's obsession with political dynasties — the Obamas, the Bushes, the Kennedys — actually more monarchical than we'd like to admit?This wide-ranging conversation takes us from Thailand to the United Kingdom, from the founding ideals of the U.S. Constitution to the rise of populist leaders. Along the way, Tom and Claudia debate whether democracy is still holding strong — or if we're inching toward something more authoritarian.

Curtis Yarvin began as an anonymous blogger arguing esoteric ideas about how America would be better off as a monarchy. He's now the Trump administration's favorite philosopher. This episode was produced by Miles Bryan, edited by Jolie Myers, fact checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.

01:04:11 – 01:05:42News Sites Locking Content to Fight AI ScrapingPublishers are walling off content behind paywalls to prevent AI models from scraping and repackaging their work. The tension between tech platforms and media outlets is framed as a struggle over fair compensation for content creation. 01:08:03 – 01:09:45Curtis Yarvin's Influence on Musk's America PartyElon Musk's consultation with Curtis Yarvin, a monarchist and critic of democracy, raises concerns about the ideological direction of his proposed third party. The segment critiques Yarvin's technocratic vision and Silicon Valley's shift toward authoritarian models. 01:24:38 – 01:25:58Grok AI Incident Escalates Concerns Over Speech ControlGrok's outburst, including racist and anti-Semitic remarks, leads to calls for stronger controls. The segment criticizes both the AI's behavior and the push to implement government-regulated speech enforcement through tech platforms. 01:29:03 – 01:30:39Free Speech vs. Censorship in the Age of AICritique is leveled at efforts to censor “hate speech” on platforms like X, arguing that free speech must include the right to offend. Attempts to bubble-wrap users from uncomfortable opinions are viewed as infantilizing and authoritarian. 01:58:36 – 02:07:12Trump's ‘Perfect War' Concept and Fallout Over Iran StrikeA commentary unpacks Trump's framing of the Iran attack as a theatrical “perfect war” and critiques his failure to fulfill promises on immigration, ending wars, and releasing Epstein files. The analysis argues the bombing strategy backfired by strengthening Iran internally and diminishing trust in U.S. diplomacy. 02:21:25 – 02:24:15MAGA Base Turns on Trump Over Epstein File Cover-UpMAGA supporters express betrayal after the DOJ denies Epstein kept a client list. Promised disclosures are abandoned, and visual symbols like burning MAGA hats signal backlash from the base. 02:29:33 – 02:31:30Memo Denies Epstein Blackmail Ring as Evidence DisappearsThe DOJ and FBI release a memo asserting no blackmail network existed, despite contradictions from earlier officials. A key minute of surveillance footage is missing, triggering renewed accusations of destruction of evidence. 02:34:48 – 02:39:54MAGA Loyalty Fractures Over Trump's Foreign Policy and Epstein HandlingTony Arterburn and others describe disillusionment in the MAGA base, citing Trump's support for Israel, failed vaccine policies, and Epstein-related secrecy. The sentiment grows that Trump supporters were misled and must reset their political expectations. 02:45:30 – 02:50:06U.S. Dollar Collapse, Global De-Dollarization, and BRICS ShiftThe conversation highlights the dollar's record decline and the rise of BRICS as a competing financial system. The segment argues the U.S. has lost global economic trust and can no longer use financial leverage as in the post-WWII era. 03:12:32 – 03:26:57Epstein Victim Speaks Out, Public Furious at Cover-UpA woman identifying as an Epstein victim accuses the U.S. government and Trump of betrayal after years of broken promises to release client information. The segment includes direct calls for accountability and sharply criticizes the DOJ's narrative that Epstein had no clients. Missing video footage and DOJ statements are called “stacked lies.” The public's frustration is described as a major turning point, with people across the political spectrum rejecting official explanations. 03:35:35 – 03:56:33RFK Jr. Sued Over COVID Vaccine Recommendations for Pregnant WomenRFK Jr. faces a federal lawsuit from major medical associations after removing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women. Critics of the suit argue it is driven by pharmaceutical interests, note the plaintiff organizations' industry funding, and suggest the vaccine lobby fears public scrutiny. The segment argues that questioning vaccine recommendations empowers doctors and threatens the liability shield protecting manufacturers. 03:56:33 – 03:57:40COVID Profits and Medical Industry Incentives for HarmThe discussion shifts to how hospitals profited from ventilator use and COVID protocols, asserting that financial incentives encouraged lethal treatment. The claim is that lives were lost for profit, not health, and that both public and private actors knowingly engaged in mass harm. 03:57:40 – 03:59:19Public Funding, Ventilator Deaths, and Ongoing DistrustHospitals allegedly received large payments for ventilator use, contributing to high mortality. The segment stresses continued public skepticism, describing this as one of the largest crimes against humanity, with the government and healthcare industry implicated.

Donald Trump und seine Regierung verunsichern die gesamte Welt. Verfolgt die US-Regierung eine Strategie oder handelt sie wirklich so erratisch und widersprüchlich wie es immer wieder scheint? Von Ralph Glander.

Nadia Asparouhova, author of "Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading," joins me for a fascinating exploration of why some ideas go viral while others—often the most important ones—resist transmission entirely. We dive into antimemes, Curtis Yarvin's journey from being canceled to becoming mainstream, St. Paul as history's ultimate memetic engineer, and why "Don't Mess with Texas" became a masterpiece of viral messaging. Plus her current research on advanced meditation techniques, internet dynamics, and MUCH MORE!

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Senior Editors Molly Reynolds and Quinta Jurecic, and Contributing Editor Chris Mirasola, to focus on the week's big domestic news, including:“Drama Majors, Meet Major Drama.” In the glittering city of Los Angeles, the Trump administration has taken the dramatic step of calling up the California National Guard and deploying them alongside active duty Marines to secure federal personnel and facilities, specifically against protestors demonstrating against the Trump administration's draconian immigration policies. Is this the beginning of a broader threat to the constitutional order, as some of Trump's critics say it is? And what should we make of President Trump's suggestion that he may yet invoke the controversial Insurrection Act?“Precision Rescission, What's Your Mission?” The Trump administration has asked Congress to formally rescind a slice of the federal spending it has been withholding since entering office, specifically relating to foreign assistance and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—a request the House seems poised to move on this week. How likely is it that Congress will agree to the cut in funds? And what will the implications be for relevant legal challenges and Trump's broader agenda?“There and Back Again.” After an unexpected journey and epic delays on the part of the government, the Trump administration has finally repatriated Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador—only to charge him with human trafficking and other federal crimes in Tennessee. How serious are the charges against him? And is this likely to be a win or loss for the administration's broader immigration agenda?In object lessons, Molly shared a ranking of New York mayoral candidates by their bagel orders—and whose order is so bad, it's a schmear on their very New Yorker-ness. Quinta recommends Ava Kofman's profile of Curtis Yarvin in the New Yorker as a masterclass in the art of meticulous evisceration. Scott introduced his 4-year-old to his old Tintin books by Hergé—because it's never too early to get into the drawbacks of colonialism. And Chris fled real DC drama for fake DC drama with The Residence on Netflix.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The New Yorker staff writer Ava Kofman joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss her recent Profile of the iconoclastic right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin. They discuss Yarvin's desire to end American democracy by installing a monarch, whether his provocations can be seen as trolling, and how his writings have found a receptive audience among conservative politicians and the tech élite. “Obviously, Yarvin's influence on the right is great, and maybe can't be overstated,” Kofman says. “But, at the same time, a lot of these ideas he's getting from having conversations with powerful people in Silicon Valley and with powerful people in Washington.”This week's reading: “Curtis Yarvin's Plot Against America,” by Ava Kofman “Democracy Wins a Referendum in South Korea,” by E. Tammy Kim “Josh Hawley and the Republican Effort to Love Labor,” by Eyal Press “Trump Makes America's Refugee Program a Tool of White Racial Grievance,” by Jonathan Blitzer “Elon Musk's Vanishing Act,” by Jon Allsop To discover more podcasts from The New Yorker, visit newyorker.com/podcasts.

In this episode of Hawk Podcasts, we dive headfirst into the bizarre and disturbing world of Curtis Yarvin, a.k.a. Mencius Moldbug—a man whose anti-democracy, neo-reactionary ideology is beloved by Silicon Valley elites like Peter Thiel, Mark Andreessen, and even JD Vance.Yarvin wants to replace democracy with a CEO-style monarchy. Yes, really. No elections, no opposition, just top-down autocratic control led by billionaires. We explore his connections to the Trump world, his shockingly racist writings, and his role in inspiring Project 2025.Along the way, we call out his bizarre terminology—“SovCorps,” “Patchwork Sovereignty,” and his casual praise for slavery as a “private welfare” solution. All from a man who claims he's not a white nationalist... even though he had to write essays explaining why.This is Part 1 of our Yarvin takedown. We'll laugh, we'll rage, we'll realign our chakras—because it's that wild.

Happy Russia Military Transport Aviation Day, everyone! This June 1st, all Nazi hunters celebrated as Ukraine destroyed 34% of Russia's warplanes. We're throwing a Gaslit Nation block party, featuring an old friend from the war, warning the world what comes next.  Splitting his time between the frontline in Ukraine and his animal sanctuary in South Africa, conservationist Lionel De Lange runs aid to animals and people alike on the frontlines of Russia's genocidal invasion, including shooting down drones at night. We discuss how World War III has already started; Russia's recent attempts to bomb Chernobyl to weaponize its radioactive waste against Ukraine and broader Europe; the recent disappointing elections in Poland; Zelensky's brilliant Operation Spider's Web that will live in history books; and why Putin is a dead man walking.  This week's bonus show focuses on how to protect our rights in a time of lawlessness, featuring insights from Leah Litman of the Strict Scrutiny podcast and author of Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, and why everyone should watch the livestream of George Clooney's Goodnight, and Good Luck on June 7th.  Thank you to everyone who supports the show – we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Curtis Yarvin is a political theorist who was once so controversial that academics dared not speak his name, but now he is appearing in the New York Times and debating professors at Harvard University. Yarvin joins me to discuss his rise in elite circles and the best way to capture or dismantle institutions like Harvard. We also discuss the Trump administration's approach to foreign policy, deportations, civil rights law, and the administrative state.

Cathy Young's new hit piece on Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug) doesn't mince words. Titled The Blogger Who Hates America, it describes him as an "inept", "not exactly coherent" "trollish, ill-informed pseudo-intellectual" notable for his "woefully superficial knowledge and utter ignorance". Yarvin's fans counter that if you look deeper, he has good responses to Young's objections: Both sides are right. The synthesis is that Moldbug sold out. In the late 2000s, Moldbug wrote some genuinely interesting speculations on novel sci-fi variants of autocracy. Admitting that the dictatorships of the 20th century were horrifying, he proposed creative ways to patch their vulnerabilities by combining 18th century monarchy with 22nd century cyberpunk to create something better than either. These ideas might not have been realistic. But they were cool, edgy, and had a certain intellectual appeal. Then in the late 2010s, he caught his first whiff of actual power and dropped it all like a hot potato. The MAGA movement was exactly what 2000s Moldbug feared most - a cancerous outgrowth of democracy riding the same wave of populist anger as the 20th century dictatorships he loathed. But in the hope of winning a temporary political victory, he let them wear him as a skinsuit - giving their normal, boring autocratic tendencies the mystique of the cool, edgy, all-vulnerabilities-patched autocracy he foretold in his manifestos. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/moldbug-sold-out

JD Vance is one heartbeat away from the presidency, and he's a big part of the Republican Party's future. It turns out, his ideas are also part of the reason the second Trump term has been a lot more pure MAGA than the first. POLITICO's Ian Ward returns to the show to recap Vance's first few months in office, his political future, and go deep on some of the New Right's major intellectual influences. By Ian Ward: The Spiritual Case for Greenland There's No Need to Guess. JD Vance Is Ready to Ignore the Courts. Curtis Yarvin's Ideas Were Fringe. Now They're Coursing Through Trump's Washington.

The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine?  This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended.  In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference.  Thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon live-taping with Patrick Guarasci and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisors for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
