Show Notes
Today we take a look at a contemporary political philosopher named Curtis Yarvin, sometimes better known by his early pseudonym "Mencious Moldbug." A highly influential writer of the political right, understanding Yarvin can provide a window into some common phrases of contemporary political conversation, including:
- "Red-pill"
- "The Cathedral"
- "Ultra-Calvinism"
Yarvin's writing covers a wide range of subject matter, but probably the three biggest ideas he advocates are:
- Formalism
- Monarchism
- Passivism
More of Curtis' writings can be found at the Unqualified Reservations blog, and his current project is on substack, with the working title "The Gray Mirror of the Nihilistic Prince."
