Episode notes
Enduring Seeds Inside Corrupt Institutions
- Major institutions retain uncorrupted seeds despite long corruption and can be reactivated by proximity to power.
- Yarvin says elites seek proximity to power and will reward perceived winners by 'licking your boots.'
Conservatives Misread Political Reality
- Conservatives falsely treat politics as a normal participatory system while opponents already operate on friend-enemy Schmidian logic.
- Yarvin argues this denial makes conservative tactics ineffective against entrenched administrative and ideological power.
Deep State, Cathedral, And Constitutional Flexibility
- The 'deep state' is the administrative body and the 'cathedral' is the regime's brain: universities, press, and schools.
- Yarvin says the Constitution's vagueness on branch precedence allows emergency monarchical power when needed.
