I read a NY Times interview with Curtis Yarvin, that Dark Englightenment philosopher so popular with fascistic tech CEOs, expecting to see the mind of some evil genius at work.
Honestly he was pretty underwhelming as a thinker. I usually feel way out of my depth with these "big thinkers" but I didn't see anything he said that I couldn't have poked a ton of holes in. A lot of what he says seems to come down to some version of, "I dunno, that's just, like, what I feel, ok?"
The Times interviewer sucked, too. He pressed Yarvin on specifics that seemed like irrelevant sideshows while letting him slide with some really inane arguments.
