I’ve been thinking about Yarvin and actually went back to a NYT video interview with transcript from 1/18/25.

I believe Yarvin inserts CEO instead of dictator. I don’t have a problem with those in tech industries, simply that not everyone is a genius at everything.

One sphere doesn’t need to be in charge, everyone can contribute. Again I say, “ go create your utopia! Why use Americans? Oh, and you will use tax contributions, right? You assume there won’t be a revolt?” My, oh my, conservatives like Yarvin!

We have our representatives in government so we don’t have to be there everyday fighting for the things we want or need. History has taught so much!

Our Constitution, imperfect as it may be, in need of revision to match “current times “ ( think of the guns our forefathers could not have predicted!) relies on moral men. Loyal public servants. Honesty, integrity, righteousness.

Dictator lives lavishly, pays cronies to build structures that crumble during earthquakes because no requirements existed, on & on…yet isn’t the farmer growing crops just as important as that CEO? The baker, the teacher? Can the CEO do it all? I don’t think so.

From the article referenced: “ …what others see as a highly distorting mix of gross oversimplification, cherry picking, and personal interpretation presented as fact”. Guess I’m one of “the others”.
