Good. You'll run rings around him.

Glad you took up the gauntlet, suggest you also smack him metaphorically with it.

Curtis certainly has a high opinion of himself. I suspect you will vanquish him,

Will the debate be available to the public in some form?

Yarvin is a well read, articulate fraud. Expose him.

Doubtful! For him to accept is to acknowledge you as an equal. Not gonna happen.

Although, I hope he does. You will eviscerate him!

Recently I watched a video of a long interview with Yarvin, never having heard him speak. I was struck by his intelligence but annoyed by his never really answering concise and direct questions. When he meandered through history, he was often careless about facts. For instance he claimed that before Hitler, no one in Europe had committed genocide since 1100. His historical references gave the impression that he wanted to obfuscate the issues while at the same time insinuate that he was very knowledgeable. In any case, I hope that the debate comes off - with you, he won’t be able to avoid having to respond.

Don’t know how I stumbled upon your Substack (algorithm no doubt) but I’m enjoying your intellectual arguments in this crazy mixed up world. Before I subscribe, I need to know more about you. The most I can find is that you were/are a Silicon Valley bro. What is your background? Origin story? Education? I’m just a curious granny

Invite MALCOLM NANCE to view from the Wings of the debate Stage. He promises to Punch the Shit out of him if he Ever Sees him ( maybe Again). Lie about the scheduled time though. He might not be able to Hold his Horses before the Start Gate.

Yarvin's blathering is the essence of sophism. Pull back the curtain on this overinflated Oz.

Would love to see the debate. CY-later doesn't have the huevos to show up, I'm sure.

Damn! One of, if not THE best of your posts. Inspiring, eloquent, laser-focused. Chapeau.

People are made in the image of G-d. This foundational principle of Judaism and Christianity has been essential to the creation of human rights and persons being considered as having been created equal. Why do you elide over and ignore the Mosaic tradition? on which Christianity was founded and which the USA’s founders utilized for their precept of all being endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights.

This is exciting. It would be the major intellectual event of my lifetime. I hope it happens, that he dares to spar with you and picks up the gauntlet. Bravo!
