Jesus. For a supposed "intellectual" of the Counter-Enlightenment, Curtis Yarvin is an utter mediocrity of a thinker. He's like a Temu Carl Schmitt, or a "slightly-soiled" Joseph de Maistre one gets half price off Ebay.
Look at his usage of "NPC": one of those insults where the user is telling on themself. "I go through life seeing other people as not really human". PKD would get the irony straight away. Curtis never would.
"My schedule for today lists a six-hour self-accusatory depression,’ Iran said.‘What? Why did you schedule that?’ It defeated the whole purpose of the mood organ" I'm lucky I don't have to schedule my depressions 🤣🤣🤣
Shit. You people got me belatedly interested in PKD. I just took Radio Free Albemuth out of the Poughkeepsie library. I guess I’ll take it back and get Androids. Hopefully it’ll still be there.

Yeah yarvin is pro no empathy android. Doubt he can understand pkd.
Yarvin never deserved all the attention he got, he's a perfect example of navel-gazing drivel gone inexplicably viral.
Perfect timing! Your recent interview inspired me to read some PDK work and now I know where to start.
Started reading funny as fuck!

Yes, it’s one of the best lines there and a great opening scene. Ridley Scott is a real idiot for not including it in the film
Perhaps he didn't read the book 🙄
Wow, didn't realize PKD (minus the beard) looked so much like Spalding Gray
>a novel that is much richer and deeper than Ridley Scott’s film adaptation.
I always thought that too....but I guess that's something for the actual book club
Up for it. Went and grabbed long overdue member of the bookshelf. May not get through the whole thing by the 17th but keen for some discourse
I'm in!
I'm excited for this!
