Curtis Yarvin
Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug) is the neo-reactionary (NRx) theorist of "neocameralism" and the "Cathedral" — treated by Haz Al-Din as the house ideologue of Silicon Valley's would-be sovereigns, and ultimately a failed prophet of power.
Infrared's assessment
- Yarvinism as Thiel's court philosophy: "Peter Thiel is a guy with ideas... with Curtis Yarvin and the whole NRx thing and the neocameralism... but Thiel and his followers are just one faction; there's other people in the deep state who have a conflicting vision" (RED PILL NEWS) — NRx misreads the deep state as a single corporation when it is a contested plurality.
- The Musk-T-Trump blowup as vindication: "The Silicon Valley dark elves are definitely not in charge... Yarvin can be a dark elf and whatever, but at the end of the day, they're not going to succeed... it's just really boring Wall Street capitalists who are in charge" (ELON MUSK CRASHING OUT stream).
- Against the "there was a Curtis Yarvin behind kingship" premise: kingship was a principle emerging from dynastic logic and revolutionary consolidation, never a doctrine designed by a theorist — theory names patterns it did not create (VICTORY | RISING POWER stream).
The verdict
Yarvin matters as evidence of the right's hunger for sovereignty-talk after liberalism, but his formalism — government as corporation, patchwork of CEOs — is Anglo Box thinking par excellence: definitions and blueprints where Haz insists on history, class, and the actual constitution of power.
