Curtis Yarvin foreshadowed the Rise of X Twitter
Manage episode 375598734 series 3219364
Curtis Yarvin gamed out a scenario for an American Caesar and the role that a ubiquitous social media app would play, namely, followers could "put yourself at the remote control of Trump himself ... literally you have a crowd in which each individual can be steered around like a joystick by Trump himself." This possibility is not idle speculation, since according to Reuters, "Trump's company faces a crucial deadline when shareholders of DWAC have until 10 a.m., Sept. 5 to vote to extend the period of time DWAC has to complete its merger with TMTG. If DWAC does not get the votes, the SPAC will liquidate on Sept. 8." Excerpt from the May 21, 2021 episode of American Mind, hosted by Michael Anton.
