@kuna I can’t really take Curtis seriously, but he did make ONE good point (in private email): the entire spectrum of political discourse today, from anarchists through communists to nazis, is built atop the wreckage of the Ancien Regime, which no longer exists: we’re all children of the century of revolutions (the 17th-18th). Ofc. that’s before he goes off the rails and tries to drag us all kicking and screaming back to the Divine Right of Kings …
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
nope, 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

@kuna Hi, long-time reader, first time poster here. Is the Antiversity the same as the Basilisk?
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.

Probably stems from the altright concept that universities are indoctrination centers designed to homogenize entire generations to liberal thought.
Headcanon updated: yarvin’s life story is this now
