Amusing. But if you want to do a more serious take on why this guy is a clown, you might want to interview Sarah E. Bond. She is a classics professor who has a book on unions and Rome. I heard a good interview on another podcast, and the gist is that there is a lot of direct evidence that relatively snobby classics professors didn't want to consider labor action.
Also some left wing people didn't want to upset "stagism" and say that there were such urban organizations before the industrial era.
Probably the best bit is that Saint Paul was run out of town by unionized silversmiths (assuming the story is literally true). In the end, the Imperial Cult became the cult of the saints who made the same statues, but they couldn't have known that.
Thank you for the recommendation. The first recorded labor strike occurred ~1156 BC (Deir el-Medina, Valley of the Kings) and led to the decline and collapse of ancient Egypt.
Yarvin originates from an ongoing labor strike that occurred in my field (I am a computational neuroscientist, meaning, I create new AI). We are refusing to translate new models for the tech elite, which we are expected to do unpaid and unrecognized. The field formally refused to perform unfunded data janitorial work for the BRAIN initiative during one of the planning meetings, which was hosted in Brown building (Triangleshirtwaist Factory, Yarvin appeared in 2013, after this meeting).
Yarvin and the 'competing' AI philosophy (AI safety) are reciting philosophical arguments made by the neuroscientists who tried to legally force me to perform this labor and lost in court (one of the neuroscientists is a literal monarch).
That’s wonderful. Be careful not to get too close to the motherfucker when you do catch him. Something tells me a matter vs antimatter event like that could end up creating a rip in the space/time continuum.
By the way, I got “Androids” at the library and started it and it’s fucking hilarious. I don’t know if I’ll have any time for book club shenanigans, but thanks!
Meanwhile I think I’m finally starting to get a handle on this evil capitalist empire thing. Not that it’ll help.
actually the New Yorker profile was the best thing that happened to him. Remember he agreed to be followed around by the New Yorker journalist. He wanted it to happen.
Nice—hope there is horse jizz inside the pie
Thanks Yasha and Evgenia! Very thankful to find a reason to laugh for a minute today.
Noël Godin would be proud! 👏👏👏
Onwards, comrades
excellent - probably worth pieing all three of them if you could

A PIPING-HOT BLUEBERRY PIE, FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN
The Exile will never truly die
>snicker!<
Yell, "VECNA SUCKS GRAVEDIRT!" when you pie him. If he's supposed to be some hot-shit gamer, he'll get it.
Appreciate the hustle

we're gonna do a podcast and maybe talk about this, actually. :)
