Curtis Guy Yarvin (born 1973), also known by the pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American blogger, software engineer, and Internet entrepreneur. He is known, along with fellow theorist Nick Land, for founding the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neoreactionary movement (NRx).
In his blog Unqualified Reservations, which he wrote from 2007 to 2014, and on his younger Substack page called Gray Mirror, which he started in 2020, he argues that American democracy is a failed experiment which should be replaced by an accountable monarchy, similar to the governance structure of corporations.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoBecause historically, monarchies have worked out so much better than democracies... not. And I'm not sure that many Americans, say, look at corporations as an example that we want the government to emulate. That idea shows a profound lack of awareness of how corporations come down on much of the population. Sure, they're efficient. We don't want to be on the receiving end of that kind of efficiency.
