Moldbug got here by having too much time on his hands and self-educating on American history entirely via primary source documents while stoned. Land, on the other hand, had a complete fucking breakdown. If someone took the proper red pill, it was Land, who clearly stared into some conceptual heart of darkness and was transformed by the strange and alien light within. But either way, we’ve been through this patch before—what’s key about the neoreactionary right to exit is that once again we realize at the last moment that we are too scared to take it.
