So I listened to the first bit of this McCormack podcast with Yarvin, and the first thing Yarvin says when Peter's talking about how he heard of him, "And had you heard of me before, or... ?"

Judging that book by it's cover, maybe it's 3.5 hours I can spend better doing something else.

It's important to understand how much of Yarvin's worldview undergirds the current Silicon Valley megadonor class that put Trump 2.0 into power... But besides that, I don't think they've been very successful in "operationalizing" their ideas in the current Admin

I have no idea who he is so I actually don't care how important it is to understand that. I'm still in that first impressions phase and it's not going well.

Yeah, well I'm certainly not a fan... He's "interesting" in a sense, but YMMV.

Better to read his early writings than to listen to now

I may be a little harsh here, but after Peter had Lowery on his show and embarrassed himself I lost a lot of respect for him.

I remember that. Not the best showing 😂
