Jim talks with Curtis Yarvin about his proposal to replace our current government with a monarchy, part of an ongoing exploration of problems with and alternatives to democracy. They discuss a regime-change thought experiment beginning with liquid democracy, the goals of democracy & the feeling of being in charge, why our government doesn't actually have an executive branch, democracy's broken steering linkage, the negative characterization of "politics," optimizing liquid democracy to take & hold power, delegation as power projection, why the French people didn't revolt against the Jacobins, forces that led to Trump's election, the relationship between binding & power, the Yellow Vest protests, the problem of finding a philosopher-king, democracy as a claim to legitimacy, our minimal level of political activation, Julius Caesar's innovation, joyous regime change, monarchy as a unifying force, polarization as a product of institutional design, monarchic regimes in recent history & their relevance, and much more.

Curtis Yarvin returns to discuss why he loves the libs, wants to destroy their world-wide echo chamber, how he went so hard to the right, Elon Musk's Twitter's chances of overthrowing the cathedral, and why I look like a Mormon. Curtis is among the most thought-provoking political thinkers I've gotten to rap with. His older work, "Unqualified Reservations" is a treasure trove of dissident anti-establishment thought (I highly recommend "How Dawkins Got Pwned" and "An Open Letter to Open Minded Progressives"), and his current blog, "Gray Mirror" is furthering his political critique of the current world order. https://graymirror.substack.com  https://www.unqualified-reservations.org  How Dawkin's Got Pwned, narrated by  @SkepticalWaves  : https://youtu.be/ihiqIcHV7d4  Support this channel:   https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboyce  https://cash.app/$benjaminaboyce  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/benjaminaboyce --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/calmversations/support

Curtis Yarvin, the controversial philosopher known for his authoritarian views, joins actor Ed Helms to unpack his influence on modern politics. They dive into Yarvin's ideological shift from libertarianism to advocating for monarchy, influenced by tech culture and historical narratives. The discussion reveals how his ideas resonate with figures like J.D. Vance and reflect broader themes of social stratification and intelligence. They also explore the perils of absolute power and the implications of decentralizing authority in contemporary governance.

Curtis Yarvin, the philosophical godfather of the ‘New Right’ and writer under the pseudonym Mencius Moldbug, dives into provocative political theories. He critiques the democratic system, pondering its impact on governance and the cyclical nature of regimes. The discussion touches on elitism, centralized authority, and the historical connections between progressivism and communism. Yarvin also explores the instincts of political power, comparing human and primate societies, and urges for a nuanced understanding of modern political dynamics.

Curtis Yarvin discusses media, regime change, and the future role of platforms like X and Reddit in reputation capital structures. Topics include building a new regime, state media, maximizing trust and engagement, elite seduction in media influence, advice to Elon Musk, reimagining Twitter's impact, authority in media, and the concept of a 'truth machine'.

Curtis Yarvin descends upon Sweden, discussing topics such as Sweden's pre-modern past, COVID-19 response, oligarchy, toxic presentism, collective power, utopian visions, the lack of values and purpose in society, renaming Estonia, the Ukrainian war, and the possibility of significant political change.
