Reminds me of a famous Russian joke.
"Why do the police travel in groups of three?
One to read, one to write, and one to watch over the dangerous intellectuals."
Being able to write this well makes you an irreplaceable asset on the Right in the US these days. Yes, even *that* well.

Always funny to me that Yarvin is held up as the great intellect of the New Right and then when he argues for stuff it's this - here's some etymology for a synonym of a word you're using, so we gotta have a tyrant -- checkmate libs. Behold the philosopher.

Even really fucked up kind of smart ppl are jumping ship right now.
The first administration then burned through anyone with dignity or self-worth.
There aren't many left.
Even the "conservative" think tankers don't want a go.
They *burned* bridges with how fast they plowed through staff.
TBH, I think the holding on to Kegseth is an attempt to change that reputation. (And a recognition that they've no bench)
Things got too stupid for him all the way back in March *2024* (yes, 2024). And though he's dipped his toes in a bit now and then he's still refusing to throw in properly, and has really been distancing since Liberation Day.
This is not a joke. That is for real.
It’s good and bad that ‘competent’ might not be what you get from that project.
The sort of slavish devotion they want is almost antithetical to competence in knowledge-based enterprises.
I do mourn what the takeover of education in those places will mean to those meant to learn though. I take solace that educational indoctrination is not absolute, with historical precedent to back that hope.
My circle still quotes it at each other as an inside joke
And if you visit Urbit spaces, they all talk this way.
actually kinda impressive
Have any fun samples in particular you'd like to share?
It starts out normal enough, but soon becomes inscrutable. The biggest sin is inventing new obtuse names for established CS concepts and insisting on using them the whole time.
This is schizophrenic gibberish that, most charitably, could be seen as technobabble written to bamboozle the VC set (which it no doubt did) and nothing more.
I believe the maritime theme replaced an earlier theme of feudalism/nobility (unsurprisingly, people tended to find that off-putting).
I got yelled at because it was "normal" and obvious that every programming language and framework would of *course* redefine every single established term
but as someone who has used dozens it gets to be really tedious really quick
Maybe someone who is interested can remind him that we have democracy and monarchy isn’t in our constitution
