    The Interview Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives
    Are Listening.

    For a long time, Curtis Yarvin, a 51-year-old computer engineer, has
    written online about political theory in relative obscurity. His ideas
    were pretty extreme: that institutions at the heart of American
    intellectual life, like the mainstream media and academia, have been
    overrun by progressive groupthink and need to be dissolved. He believes
    that government bureaucracy should be radically gutted, and perhaps most provocative, he argues that American democracy should be replaced by what
    he calls a “monarchy” run by what he has called a “C.E.O.” — basically his
    friendlier term for a dictator. To support his arguments, Yarvin relies on
    what those sympathetic to his views might see as a helpful serving of historical references — and what others see as a highly distorting mix of gross oversimplification, cherry-picking and personal interpretation
    presented as fact.
