23.07.2025 19:39 โ ๐ 31040 ๐ 7599 ๐ฌ 1218 ๐ 633Whenever I asked Yarvin about resonances between his writing and real-world events, his response was nonchalant. He seemed to see himself as a conduit for pure reasonโthe only mystery, to him, was why it had taken others so long to catch up. โYou can invent a lie, but you can only discover the truth,โ he told me. We were in London, where he was attending the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, a conservative conference co-founded by the psychologist Jordan Peterson. (Yarvin described Peterson to me as โa dandyโ with โa weird narcissistic energy coming off of him.โ) Accompanying Yarvin on his travels were Eduardo Giralt Brun and Alonso Esquinca Dรญaz, two millennial filmmakers who were shooting a documentary about his life. Their goal was to make a naturalistic character study in the style of โGrey Gardens,โ in which, as Brun put it, โthe camera just happens to be around.โ It wasnโt going to plan. Yarvin kept repeating the same monologues, which meant that much of the footage was the same. The filmmakers worried that his racist remarks would turn viewers off. One afternoon in London, Dรญaz had filmed Yarvin getting his portrait painted with Lord Maurice Glasman, a post-liberal political theorist who has been called โLabourโs MAGA Lord,โ for his support of Brexit and his ongoing dialogue with figures like Steve Bannon. At one point in their discussion, Yarvin had pulled out his iPhone to show Glasman that heโd hacked the chatbot Claude to get it to call him by the N-word.
In the New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin, ideological lodestar of Trump, Stephen Miller and the ascendant American technofascist right, we learn that he's been spending time with Blue Labour peer Maurice Glasman, who Starmer's current right-wing genuflections are aimed to please. So that's nice.

My parents had the same issue years ago. May be worth trying the insurance ombudsman if the "pre-existing" is debatable.
