What is to be done? On one side there is Curtis Yarvin, who counsels doing nothing. On the other side are those who demand a vision, a movement, counter-institutions and a program, yesterday. Any radical analysis generates the question, and, of course, there might be multiple answers. Who knows what might come of Yarvin and his do-nothingers—perhaps they’ll produce a perfect model of government that will be completed just in time to fall into the lap of a new set of system builders on the eve of the collapse of the old system. And those who are in a hurry to build now will at least provide lessons, cautionary tales, data, and perhaps a model or two in whose path others might follow. I don’t have any specific goals or visions in mind—just a model of practice, which complements a minimal model of politics: do what you can to help create conditions under which someone will take the center in such a way as to name his successors and they name theirs in perpetuity. There’s someone out there now who best fits the bill, or will discover, support or teach he who does: find that person, send out feelers for him, turn the social order into a gigantic device for detecting signs of him, and bring others into the search.
