Episode Synopsis

Curtis Yarvin. You may not know his name, but you need to. He believes democracy is a mistake. That CEOs should run city-states. That the surplus population should be put in virtual reality machines—or worse. Sounds dystopian? It is. And yet, the people listening to him aren’t nobodies. Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, Peter Thiel—all these people take him seriously.Their ideology? Everything good comes from corporations, so why not let CEOs rule over us? But they ignore the simple truth: The greatest periods of human progress—the United States and Athenian democracy—came from rejecting monarchy, not returning to it.So let’s talk about who Yarvin is, why he’s influencing our government, and how dangerous this movement is.Subscribe to Niagara Land on Apple Podcasts and Spotify now. 🎧🔥
