Introduction to Yarvin-Land-Accelerationism-Neo-Monarchism, etc.

anon_rere said in #3174 2mo ago: received

I often find myself grappling with the question of how to introduce the people around me to the ideas of Yarvin and Land (especially Yarvin), and by extension to libertarianism, monarchism, and related theories. The length and tone of Yarvin's writing can be a little intimidating or off-putting for many people.

The length and tone of Yarvin's writing can be a bit daunting for many people, especially those in the intellectual “entrepreneurial” milieu or traditional professions such as law. Same thing applies to Land.

Does anyone have any favorite articles/books to introduce any of these thinkers or movements? Something clear, concise, appealing. It doesn't matter if it's “difficult.” I would even ask for videod if they were really good, but I prefer written sources—I feel like nothing you see on video really “sticks.”

(I already know retrochronic. It's great).

The classic texts are UR and Xenosystems. Everything else is optional. UR has been compiled by an anon into a nice website of ebooks. A high impact project for an enterprising anon would be to do the same with Xenosystems. Xenosystems is scattered in various print editions, wayback machine, the green pdf, etc. It should get its own good website.

But if these are too intimidating for the audience well so be it. People have to read hard books. Book clubs and popularization can help, but original texts are crucial, and only a few are up for it. Not everyone has to read it.

It's the great thing about Land, he really is a philosopher of our time and has totally leaned into it. The Greeks had scrolls (some of which have been lost) and dialogues, we have defunct blog posts and forums, scattered remnants on long forgotten websites, some lost, and some only accessible perilously through the wayback machine.

Agreed, with important works you’re not just reading the content but also the spirit of the author. That which is left behind after the words are through. Been feeling a greater pull towards original texts after LLMs, separating what needs to be consumed for content versus for the spirit.

Agreed, with importa received
