>>1431The organizations are either dox-equivalent or uncorrelated with this tendency. I can name some of the more publicly out people as archetypes, though: Let's start with some of the out-and-proud:
Yarvin and Alamariu both have great educations and a lot of influence from doing outright anti-cathedral work. They are less on the legitimacy side, of course. But they have done more to articulate real alternative worldviews than almost anyone else. Their problem is they both come from communist shit disturber families and don't like to occupy the perspective of legitimacy. Much more on the legitimate side we have people like Elbridge Colby, that guy who spends all day arguing in legitimate terms that America should drop Ukraine and Israel and focus on Taiwan. I don't know him, but he seems clear-headed, minimally compromised, and to be playing the right game well. I get why he's focused on a single issue in public, but I hope he sees the bigger picture in his heart. Another loud one is Rufo. He's playing maybe a bit too much of the conservative game, but he's playing it well.
Thiel is notable for being powerful in legitimate ways (facebook board, bilderberg) and also willing to fund things that actually build alternative thought entirely without promise of commercial return. He's a bit too libertarian and a bit too indeterminate (to use his terminology) in his bets. But if more people tried to emulate him in philanthropic behavior, philosophical curiosity, and moral rectitude (he has consistently refused compromising associations that would make him more acceptable to the cathedral) even with smaller amounts of money and intelligence, we'd be in a better society.
I won't name any private individuals, but they range from prestigious DC think tank staffers who write high powered pseudonymous essays in their spare time, socialites who consistently and effectively skewer and disregard Cathedral nonsense, secret philosophers doing the good work making what would otherwise be extremely woke high-prestige networks much saner and more interesting, retired bureaucrats who consistently support the others in this broad category, etc. There are many more but I only know a few, and depressingly few overall.
None of these people on their own is about to dismantle corruption and bring in a shining new era, but we'd be way, way closer to that if there were 10x as many such people and they had more organization and legitimacy as such. So one high leverage project might be to create some kind of organization or infrastructure that empowers these specific types of people, moralizes them as having allies, networks them more with each other, legitimizes them as having a real and needed program of reform, and inspires more people to join them.
On the margin, inspired by these people but applying to both them and to the rest of us, I would counsel this formula:
1. Be way more radical in your heart. Study the forbidden masters and martyrs of philosophy for their clear-eyed opposition to stifling regimes akin to this one.
2. Be way more legitimate in public. Public speech should be polished and always aimed at being the obvious bearer of the mandate of heaven.
3. Never compromise in speech or action with lies, fraud, corruption, etc. Doing things dishonestly for pragmatic reasons is a sacrifice of part of your soul to the enemy and destroys your relationship to truth which is your only value.
4. Do more philanthropy, and worry less about self interest. Support the allies of your preferred future out of your own treasury without expectation of return at a rate of 10%.
5. Pick big determinate-bet ambitious public projects to work on and carry them through.
