Carl Benjamin ( @SargonofAkkad ) and James Lindsay ( @newdiscourses ) have built their online reputations criticizing (some might say toying with) the Progressive Left. But what do they think about the context in which Progressivism arose, namely, Enlightenment Liberalism? What are its faults and successes? What would they savage and salvage from modernity, to fix our current troubles and make way for a better tomorrow?

Curtis Yarvin returns to discuss why he loves the libs, wants to destroy their world-wide echo chamber, how he went so hard to the right, Elon Musk's Twitter's chances of overthrowing the cathedral, and why I look like a Mormon. Curtis is among the most thought-provoking political thinkers I've gotten to rap with. His older work, "Unqualified Reservations" is a treasure trove of dissident anti-establishment thought (I highly recommend "How Dawkins Got Pwned" and "An Open Letter to Open Minded Progressives"), and his current blog, "Gray Mirror" is furthering his political critique of the current world order. https://graymirror.substack.com  https://www.unqualified-reservations.org  How Dawkin's Got Pwned, narrated by  @SkepticalWaves  : https://youtu.be/ihiqIcHV7d4  Support this channel:   https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboyce  https://cash.app/$benjaminaboyce  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/benjaminaboyce --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/calmversations/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/calmversations/support
