TOPIC: Curtis Yarrow

Curtis Yarrow 2 Weeks, 5 Days ago  
A blogger favoured in Silicon Valley and by JD Vance who is a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Vance keeps quoting him.

Yarrow amongst other wacky (?) things wants The Constitution to be dissolved, the poor to be used as bio-diesel, cities to be for the elite only with a high income needed to live in them and the poor to become indentured servants to serve the rich.

Probably Soylent Green as well.

Sounds charming. Makes Project 2025 look tame

Harari calls it “the rise of the useless class”

It looks as if the name's Curtis Yarvin.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

Seems to be another computer expert. Maybe their brains are wired up oddly.

He's quoted here as referring to Vance as a "random normie politician I’ve barely even met". I wonder if the use of "normie" implies that Yarvin is autistic or in some way mentally askew.

I can't take anything from The Guardian seriously, you don't get sued and settle out of court for nothing. Wikipedia is a joke also.

As you're clearly a man of impeccable judgement and discrimination, routinely disdaining any source I post, feel free to post another of your more reliable sources from YouTube.

Yuval Noah Harari does seem to be highly reliable...

Harari's popular publications are considered to belong to the Big History genre, with Ian Parker writing in 2020 in The New Yorker that "Harari did not invent Big History, but updated it with hints of self-help and futurology, as well as a high-altitude, almost nihilistic composure about human suffering."[2]

His work has been more negatively received in academic circles, with Christopher Robert Hallpike stating in a 2020 review of Sapiens that "one has often had to point out how surprisingly little he seems to have read on quite a number of essential topics. It would be fair to say that whenever his facts are broadly correct they are not new, and whenever he tries to strike out on his own he often gets things wrong, sometimes seriously." Hallpike further states that "we should not judge Sapiens as a serious contribution to knowledge but as 'infotainment', a publishing event to titillate its readers by a wild intellectual ride across the landscape of history, dotted with sensational displays of speculation, and ending with blood-curdling predictions about human destiny. By these criteria, it is a most successful book."[45]

In 2020, philosopher Mike W. Martin criticized Harari's view in a journal article, stating that "[Harari] misunderstands human rights, inflates the role of science in moral matters, and fails to reconcile his moral passion with his moral skepticism."[46]

In July 2022, the American magazine Current Affairs published an article titled "The Dangerous Populist Science of Yuval Noah Harari" by neuroscientist Darshana Narayanan, which pointed to the lack of scientific rigor in his books. "The best-selling author is a gifted storyteller and popular speaker," she wrote. "But he sacrifices science for sensationalism, and his work is riddled with errors."[47]

I told you before and I tell you again, a City trader was a business partner of mine sued The Guardian for libel and settled out of court in the mid 90s.

Nick Sandmann and Kyle Rittenhouse sued The Guardian and CNN and both news outlets had to settle out of court.

Harari is a transhumanist like Musk.

You can always edit Wikipedia.

Mark Williams Thomas has to do it all the time.
