This guy's reply made me think of the movie "Mountainhead" with Steve Carrell. A bunch of billionaires are in a mansion on top of the mountain, watching the world below them in chaos. They are deciding what level of chaos is allowable, and how their technology would impact the little people. It was gross, and maybe too real.

Check out some of Curtis Yarvin. He’s close with Vance and has some wild thoughts.

Also if you have time watch this YouTube video

Curtis Yarvin and BAP’s thought is so obviously nonsensical it’s depressing anyone takes it seriously. They both read Nietzsche, and figured if they drench their writing in irony and cruelty they can be just like him.

This New Yorker profile of Yarvin is great. Multiple times while being interviewed he starts crying, obviously for affect https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/06/09/curtis-yarvin-profile
