"At 15, Yarvin entered college as part of Johns Hopkins' longitudinal Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth. A year later, he transferred to Brown University in Rhode Island as a legacy admission to the Ivy League liberal arts college, where his parents had met in the mid-'60s. After graduating, it was on to a computer science Ph.D. program at Berkeley. He dropped out after a year and a half to take a tech job at the height of the go-go '90s dot-com era."
Without the Silicon Valley and the internet, he and his theories have no life. Neither can stand on its own without computers.
He cannot turn off the computer. Without the computer, he becomes irrelevant.
Not suprising if he provides entertainment for so-called "tech" company investors and employees.
"When I ask people to answer that question, I ask them to look around the room and point out everything in the room that was made by a monarchy, because these things that we call companies are actually little monarchies. You're looking around, and you see, for example, a laptop, and that laptop was made by Apple, which is a monarchy."
A computer. What a coincidence.
His entire world revolves around computers. As such, his theories are detached from reality.
Another dropout; never finished his PhD:
