Topic: Curtis Yarvin

Guest host Jay Dyer discusses "religious engineering" and the dumbing down of the West. He references historian Oswald Spengler's predictions about the decline of Western civilization and the rise of the "Dark Enlightenment" movement led by figures like Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land. Dyer argues that the Enlightenment's universalized ideas are failing because they ignore the biological and historical realities of man.

Curtis Yarvin, also known as Mencius Moldbug, joins the show to discuss his views as an "absolute monarchist" and his background as a "Foreign Service brat." Yarvin argues that the State Department, rather than the CIA, is the true center of the U.S. government's global operations. He describes the relationship between the U.S. and its allies as a "satellite state" empire masquerading as an alliance.
