Getting the cloudflare error as well. Nevertheless this reminds me of an old Curtis Yarvin post on his proposal for a meta-wikipedia. "Uberfact". He's not everyone's cup of tea but I quite enjoy this article of his - https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2007/08/uberfact-ultimate-social-verifier/ https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2007/08/uberfact-ul...

Another thing philosopher genius and right-wing darling Curtis Yarvin recently said: "We have only one problem. The problem is: our billionaires are n—ers. They may be rich. But they're n—er rich. The nature and function of their wealth is profoundly negrous. You can probably name exceptions. I can too. But in every way, the exceptions prove the rule" https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:sefgphqp2xqwh2hawaixykwz/post/3lv7lipobrs2a https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:sefgphqp2xqwh2hawaixykwz/po...

  I still don't understand what he meant by that statement, none the less, floors me each time I read it. I don't think it's for my understanding... I'm not his audience.

    It seems intellectually vacuous. But I guess it's edgy and makes some people feel goood?

Yarvin is a fascist who would prefer if I was shot in the head. "Not everyone's cup of tea" is not exactly how I'd describe it.

I recently watched a debate where Curtis Yarvin argued that democracy is a mistake and the USA should be ruled by, quite literally, a CEO dictator [0]. My understanding is that he has the ear of JD Vance and other high-ranking Republicans. This terrifies me. The country I grew up in & love is dead if these philosophies take root.

  "The government should be run like a business" has been the belief in certain circles that predate the Internet, even.
