"dense insights"

I've spent time reading and valuing a fair amount of post modernist writers. Often times, thier writings are justifiably difficult. But other times, it seems to be a byproduct a system that values obfuscation. Still, ebn in this murkiness, many of the original writers have valuable points to make. But there are a select group whose writings fail even there.

Yarvin is neither a skilled writer, a clear thinker, and often peddles in recycled conservative thought varished with corporatized vernacular who seems to never get to the point. And when does make a point, a younger me would have confused to relief of getting to a point as something worthy of the journey. Having hacked through thoughts before though, I find his destinations aren't merited by his meandering assuming he gets to a point.

Still, he has the regards of some powerful and wealthy people. However, these people are more interesting because of the positioning and not their respect for Yarvin. Yarvin provides the theory woven blanket that these people need to feel good about what they believe. Less so than Nick Land or Bronze Age Pervert, Yarvin reminds me of Jordan Peterson's rhetoric. In that sense, both are comforting to those groups confused about why the world isn't the way they think it ought to be.

Reading Yarvin is, in my opinion, no benefit in understanding the Theils and Vances of the world. Theil's political positioning, on the other hand, is worth noting, watching, and resisting.
