Reading such quotes, I don’t understand how Moldbug and others can decry their “progressivist” opponents as a sinister and secretive world-spanning stand-alone complex. It’s just a few middle-aged men (they’re neither old nor young when they deploy their key works), and, lately, women, gently guiding history insofar as it can be guided, speaking quite clearly about their capabilities and intentions. Is this power structure necessarily so awful?
