Following up from 2025-05-09 comes Yarvin’s Strange Argument on Populism and Gain-of-Function Research. Yarvin Tweet-dumped a bunch of screed in response to Scott Alexander’s take down of him, today Richard Hanania points out that the Tweet screed makes no more sense than anything else Yarvin has done recently. Of course Hanania himself was (is?) an insane right-winger; truly this whole thing is just noise designed to distract. And earlier this year, Curtis Yarvin was interviewed in the New York Times by David Marchese. ‘The Interview’: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy is Done - The New York Times. He’s nearly incoherent. I’m embarrassed that I read his blog for so long in graduate school.
