If this 5'6 computer nerd told me that I should have political power proportionate to my private property, I would snap his flabby little neck like a wet twig. I deadlift 550 pounds. I could rip his spine apart without breaking a sweat.

Depends on the fit you're after. The sleeves should be much slimmer, but if you're after, say, a Rick-ish fit, the extra-long sleeves work.

Moldbug is the ultimate example of the maxim "Those who can't do, teach". All his pontificating about power and reaction and yet you can tell he'll never have any real power of his own. It's like Nietzsche and Napoleon. Nietzsche wrote so much about the overman, but he could never be the overman himself. Meanwhile, Napoleon WAS the overman, and yet he never wrote anything about the subject of triumphant humanity. Those who can do have no need to teach.

Moldbug didn't even start writing until he'd already become independently wealthy off some tech thing and then gotten Thiel to fund his Urbit autism. He's not like super successful but he did fine for himself.

It is extremely amusing to me though that a sort of edgy late 00s blogger has garnered this much attention from people. It was fucking surreal when whoever it was, maybe Bannon namedropped the guy I thought of as 'that fringe far right blog guy I was linked to by /pol/'. Especially since the entire content of his writing can basically be condensed to
>what if like...everything you thought you knew...was actually a lie...because our society is under a NEW RELIGION
>and this new religion spread because it is an...ADAPTIVE MEMEPLEX

FTFY. Besides, Moldbug isn't an entry-level thinker. He is guilty of what STEMfags accuse continental philosophers of, namely, hiding an extremely simple message beneath an endless stream of shitty verbiage.

He's entertaining to read sure, but anyone who is vaguely intellectually honest knows our society is lying through their teeth just by noticing the contradictions in what they say and their desire to censor dissent. And about quite a bit more than what Moldbug talks about.

If you need a Moldbug to tell you that you're just going to adopt his opinions, you're not actually thinking for yourself.

>> No.14943626

Moldbug's worst tell is that he has read good thinkers but he still turned out an ancap.
