Rachel Maddow tonight reran this segment on Curtis Yarvin and his influence on Vance. Obviously you're well aware of him yourself, but this also makes it obvious that "retire all government employees" is a Yarvin concept. youtu.be/VeVhHNSe9Ks?...

Yarvin, aka Mencius Moldbug, is a software engineer who called for turning houseless people into "biodiesel," pushes racist pseudo-science + advocates for turning the US into a monarchy. Yarvin has been cited as an influence by JD Vance, himself a protege of Thiel. newrepublic.com/article/1839...
Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas
Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

P.S. The man JD Vance is fond of quoting for alternative for dealing with the "problem" of democracy, is having a "National CEO," which Yarvin goes on to say is a "Dictator," followed by laughter.

When it comes to AI in the public space I've hit my "Amish moment". Don't want it, don't like it, don't want to support it.
Give me a human EVERY TIME, flawed or otherwise.

There’s not much I can do, I’m just one lady, but I am going to plant a lot of extra vegetables in my garden this year to help neighbors and hopefully donate to food pantries. Every day I wake up and am so sad right now.
