Curtis Yarvin
Curtis Guy Yarvin (born 1973), also known by the pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American blogger, software engineer, and Internet entrepreneur. He is known, along with fellow theorist Nick Land, for founding the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neoreactionary movement (NRx).In his blog Unqualified Reservations, which he wrote from 2007 to 2014, and on his more recent Substack page called Gray Mirror, which he started in 2020, he argues that American democracy is a failed experiment which should be replaced by monarchy or corporate governance. Yarvin has been described as a "neoreactionary" and "neo-monarchist" who "sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system and who wants to replace American democracy with a sort of techno-monarchy".In 2002, Yarvin launched the Urbit computer platform. In 2013, he co-founded the company Tlon to oversee the Urbit project, and helped lead it until 2019.
