I watched Yarvin’s Sheldonian lecture. What struck me is that he’s describing real institutional failures, but he completely misdiagnoses the cause. He treats “democracy” as the problem, when the actual collapse is upstream.
See also Curtis Yarvin's remarks in a recent Oxford lecture:
"Say what you want about MBS, he's quite an effective king I think in a lot of different ways. Um love the Ritz thing, the whole Saudi embassy thing, I don't know, but I mean he was a journalist". [Giggles]

When Isaiah Berlin wrote “what is interesting is to read the enemy, because the enemy penetrates the defences,” he meant studying Maistre and Sorel, not that every racist blogger had to be debated in the Sheldonian.

Drum & Bass on the bike: so great. Just a super joyous experience cycling round my city with 4 kids in the cargo bike and no fear of traffic.
With hundreds of people and great music. Thanks Dom Whiting.

In the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford, waiting for the beginning of a performance of Carmen. My daughter is singing second soprano in the chorus.

Last night we gave the Bodley Medal (@bodleianlibraries.bsky.social) to Sir Don McCullin, one of the greatest photographers of all time. An amazing privilege to be in conversation with him in a sold-out Sheldonian!
