I think thats pretty spot on haha. Although Peterson became less interesting while on drugs, and Land maybe more interesting. I dunno. Some people hate Yarvin's writing, I kind of like it because its constantly grabbing your attention with pop culture references and weird analogies. His sources are a great reading list.

I don't think he wrote it in anything, I think he just repeated 15 thousand times on every podcast over a certain period, but his way of describing, I guess what I interpreted as "liberty", using the pencil/telephone analogy stuck with me. I was kind of in my "libertarianism is dumb" phase and that hit. I don't think i'm there any more, but I definitely have a more pragmatic view.
