David GerardHow To Start a Secret Society, handed out by Tlon Corporation at Urbit Summit 2022
geriksonThis is some unsettling shit (read until the end)
It takes on different readings when you don’t realise these are fascists and when you do
kunaWell aykshuyally Yarvin is a reactionary, not a fascist. And also he doesn’t like Hitler, because he was a dumdum: types.pl/@graydon/109938235313739307

Mike Knell@kuna Hi, long-time reader, first time poster here. Is the Antiversity the same as the Basilisk?
selfnope, in fact I’m pretty sure Yarvin never concretely defines the term. Graydon in the linked thread or our own @[email protected] may have more quotes from Yarvin trying to describe the thing, but for now I’ve decided that the antiversity is a university for ants
future_syntheticIt’s the trade school they send all the drones through after they hatch
nuh. the idea is that the Antiversity will be the command and control structure of the reactionary society just as the University is the command and control structure of the Cathedral society.
now you might think “that’s not what universities do at all”, but you would be correct
Hoare thinks Urbit was intended to be the Antiversity, the communications network for the fash uprising. I can see how Yarvin might have thought that.
has he confused the entire university for the football games my university kept spending all their research grants and alumni donations on? cause the cathedral being nothing but the jocks who shoved Yarvin into a locker makes way too much sense
Probably stems from the altright concept that universities are indoctrination centers designed to homogenize entire generations to liberal thought.
and no other function
Headcanon updated: yarvin’s life story is this now
