Babbling. No one I know is under the illusion that our government is wise and prescient. Quite the opposite. Just more antiTrump screed.

- Well, you did say contrarian, didn't you.
- Having read most of that (I skimmed after about half of it), I have one question: Is it too early to start drinking?

Mik - you put him in a box that he very much does not belong in. He spent election night at Peter Theil’s house and was happy with the result. He has long criticized the American system of government. View it in that light.
Mik and George - scroll down and read the medical intervention (offense and defense) part.

Every Curtis Yarvin post should come with a tl;dr version.
He does sometimes have interesting ideas, but you always have to read sixteen pages of uninteresting rambling before you get to the one or two interesting thoughts in it.

That may well be and I stand corrected on the antiTrump part.
But he is still babbling. Did he ever get to suggesting something better?

Well, that is certainly an unconventional response.
Isn't that agency a lot of what Jared Kushner is supposed to be doing? Bypassing bureaucracy?

We need this in bullet points. Klaus has him pegged. But little or none of this stuff will happen anyway. It's either too authoritarian or too unregulated for America.

In fairness, Yarvin goes out of his way to say the US would never go for this.

He lives in the fantasy realm. Much of what he proposes would be met with armed resistance.

In fairness again, he lives in no such realm. He repeatedly says this would never fly.

I think there’s much we could do in the direction of his medical response. If not actually go as far as he says.
It might just be that China does something akin to what he’s suggesting for vaccine testing and will be rolling out a global solution while the FDA are still filling out all their forms.

Then he's just a useless drone, blowing smoke.

I've said this before, but the FDA is laboring under antiquated laws mandating near-perfection. Yep, we change things and we may get another thalidomide debacle, but I'll trade those problems for some nimbleness and common sense.
