To quote William Burroughs, 'beware of whores who say they don't want money. What they mean is they want more money...much more.'

- nemo44x 2y agoIt’s a great quote and true if Sam Altman is any example. I don’t know Yarvin but he has pretty much explicitly said and taken actions which suggest he’s not interested in ruling. He’s written many thousands of words why he wouldn’t be a good ruler. But he is explicit in his desire for a ruler.
