>Obedience good.
What are you paraphrasing here?

I recently read into Mencious (as in, the 300BC guy)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mencius
and was surprised - maybe I shoudn't have been - that Mencious Moldbug indeed has a significant overlap with him. As in, it's not just a random name choice.
Both come down to a "build and they will come" philosophy extended as proposal for a market of states.

Now regarding China, if you assume people can cope with a godless society, then the Confucious/Mencious teachings are alluring. They are the first to propose hard rule but not with rulers assigned by family blood but instead based on merit and knowledge, including knowledge of artistic & technological fields. I don't think the Chinese "for your parents" ideology (which, must be mentioned, is also part of the 10 commandments in the Bible anyway), and it's extension to the state as metaphorical father, should be taken as muh obedience, if that's what you mean

He was influenced by Confucianism, I'm almost 100% sure. He certainly refers to it in UR, I just don't remember where.

>Yarvin argues for a "neo-cameralist" philosophy based on Frederick the Great of Prussia's "cameralist" administrative mode.[36] In his view, inefficient, wasteful democratic governments should be replaced with sovereign joint-stock corporations whose "shareholders" (large owners) elect an executive with total power, but who must serve at their pleasure.[42] The executive, unencumbered by liberal-democratic procedures, could rule efficiently much like a CEO-monarch.
How jewish of him

I mean his solutions are the weakest element of his thought, people are generally correct in criticizing him on that. His analysis is where he really shines.

[Anonymous No.19499768]

>>19499758
Not really thought? The cliche is that they exactly do not governance by explicit rule, or any other "male form" of power

How did he go from "Patchwork" to "a single man will be emperor of everything?"

[Anonymous No.19501408]

>>19501386
I've read literally the entirety of UR and I agree with that anon. The guy's view of power completely ignores the role of conscious conspiracy

FROM MOUNT ATHOS

I pick strawberries in the garden. Three long rows behind the monastery, before the midday sun gets too hot. I set down a stool every few yards and reach out my hands, first for what is visible, then shake and lift the leaves for fruit and color. With a slight pull, I test each berry’s readiness for being plucked, having found my rhythm in the field. All morning I fill a blue crate, carry it to the refectory, then rest in my cell to the sound of cicadas and flies through the open window. The evening dessert is red glistening strawberries, piled onto shining metal plates, next to glasses of wine, vases of water, whole tomatoes, bean soup, fresh bread, olives: others’ work, all set on a common table. Afterward, from high on the balcony, the Aegean ripples with infinite small lights, the trees of the mountain move like the sea, the air brings a mixed scent of pine and iodine and night. Beauty is more evident in this quiet. You see it through a clearing inside yourself. It is no mystery, seeing.

Doesn't seem that good.
