  • From the new York Times.

  • This is the interview.

  • I'm David Marchese.

  • For a long time, Curtis Yarvin, a 51 year old computer engineer,

  • had been writing online about political theory in relative obscurity.

  • His ideas were pretty extreme that institutions like the mainstream media

  • and academia have been overrun by progressive groupthink and need to be dissolved.

  • He believes that government bureaucracy should be radically gutted and

  • that American democracy should be replaced by by what he calls a monarchy run by what he's called a CEO,

  • which is basically his friendlier term for a dictator.

  • To support his arguments,

  • Yarvin relies on what sympathetic ears might hear as a helpful serving of historical references,

  • but which others hear as a distorting mix of gross oversimplification,

  • cherry picking, personal interpretation presented as fact and just plain inaccuracy.

  • But while Yarvin himself may still be obscure, his ideas are not.

  • Vice President elect J.D.

  • vance has alluded to his notions of forcibly ridding American institutions of so called Wokeism.

  • You know, there's this guy Curtis Yarvin who's written about some of these things.

  • Incoming State Department official Michael Anton has spoken with Yarvin

  • about how an American Caesar might be installed into power.
