"Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide. That is: the ideal solution achieves the same result as mass murder (the removal of undesirable elements from society), but without any of the moral stigma. Perfection cannot be achieved on both these counts, but we can get closer than most might think. The best humane alternative to genocide I can think of is not to liquidate the wards — either metaphorically or literally — but to virtualize them. A virtualized human is in permanent solitary confinement, waxed like a bee larva into a cell which is sealed except for emergencies. This would drive him insane, except that the cell contains an immersive virtual-reality interface which allows him to experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world." —Curtis Yarvin, 2008

YARVIN's VISION

Why, I asked Patrick Wood during our interview about his latest book 'The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America'', would anyone care what Curtis Yarvin thinks?

Turns out we should care a lot since Peter Thiel regards Yarvin as his 'House Philosopher.' And Thiel is not the only one among the billionaire technocrats who has taken a liking to the philosophy of Dark Enlightenment.

But does Thiel share Yarvin's vision of a 'humane alternative to genocide'?

Maybe. It certainly doesn't bode well that NYT podcaster Ross Douthat had to ask him three times during an interview last year if Thiel wanted humanity to continue. H

e got only silence as response until, when asked with much urgency, for a third time, Thiel relented with a 'Yes, but…'

The 'but' was: let them survive - but not without some desperately needed technical enhancements inside their bodies and brains.
