‘From the 30’s’ sounds like it’s ancient technology. Most programming languages include arithmetic, a formalism from 3000 years ago.

- thanatropism 8y agoHe does make a number of references to "20th century's computer science" that imply he's got the new stuff. He also says "functional programming without abstract math", which reads a lot like "Austrian economics" (which Moldbug and Land swear for). I'm saying this in a thread about his politics, but my basic evaluation holds: he's probably not discovered a new system of government and a new computer science. But he's careful and scholarly with his arguments, and worth knowing.
