Ep. 07 Curtis be Posting about the New Corporate Order
Episode 7
Thursday, 26 February, 2026
It’s our latest – and last! – episode on Curtis Yarvin, aka mencius moldbug, a key intellectual presence behind the Trump administration courtesy of his blog-slash-book, Unqualified Reservations. In previous episodes we snarked our way through some of Yarvin’s epistemological concerns around things like history, economics, and race. In this discussion, we turn to his prescriptive vision for the future state and how to get there, touching along the way his interdiction against lynchings, his call-out to Confucius, and why El Salvador may be the first state to align itself with Yarvin’s corporate model. Join us as we bid adieu to the powerhouse thinker who furnishes the rental unit inside J.D. Vance’s head.Get in touch with us by email at rolfandreed@proton.me, or follow us on Rolf’s substack “Under the Aqueduct” or at Reed’s Bluesky. This is a public episode.
