“You've got very rapid changes in biotechnology and the democratisation of genetic engineering, and the two things are in some sense coming together. Because one of the other things that the [AI] models are improving at radically is all kinds of biology... One of the amazing signs of the pathology of the system is that, even after COVID, we are still allowing and funding gain of function research.” Dominic Cummings in Anglofuturism Episode 059.

Curtis Yarvin doesn't think Britain is doomed to managed decline. The wind of change from Washington has stopped blowing, parliamentary sovereignty means you can just restore actual monarchy by picking a CEO-king (he suggests some candidates), and the cathedral of unaccountable bureaucrats can be swept away like Allied Military Government cleared out Nazi Germany in 1945. His case: the Deliveroo economy is more dehumanising than Victorian servitude because social distance replaced personal bonds. Sir Humphrey Appleby is less removable than Charles I—so replacing one unaccountable monarch with an unaccountable oligarchy wasn't progress. Elizabeth I's delegation to the Cecils created the first "deep state." And voting is pornographic: you feel sovereign but you're just a consumer demanding better customer service from an autocracy. The plan involves neo-colonialism as win-win (bringing Chinese extraterritoriality to West Oakland, reclaiming Jamaica's tropical highlands), "regoverning" Africa, and making Oxbridge so superior to Harvard that Americans beg to study Greek and Latin there. Also: Elon needs Ayahuasca to realize Mars is cope and he should build the Cape-to-Cairo maglev instead. Napoleon said the crown of the Western world is in the gutter. Curtis says Britain should pick it up with its sword. Featuring Calum Drysdale, Tom Ough, and Curtis Yarvin.

.Nicholas Boys Smith shared a useful number on this week's Anglofuturism. "If you look at the value per hectare of land in Poundbury compared to comparable normal houses elsewhere — Knight Frank's study, from a few years ago — it's a 55% premium. That's not 5 or 6%." The market has been telling us, with cash, that beauty pays at scale.

Frederick Sanger: 2 Nobel Prizes, 3 papers in 20 years. Today he'd be fired for low productivity. The academic system now demands papers every 6 months. Everything must show positive results. Take safe projects. Never fail publicly. Peter Higgs couldn't discover the Higgs boson today. Sydney Brenner's smartest colleagues? Left academia. Not because they failed—because the system is fundamentally broken. James Phillips and Laura Ryan's solution: Lovelace Labs. 15-year funding. No grant applications. No publish-or-perish. Just ambitious science. Full episode out now.

.Curtis Yarvin on why replacing Charles I with Sir Humphrey Appleby wasn't actually progress. At least you could cut off the king's head with one blow—dismantling an unaccountable bureaucracy requires an industrial abattoir. Britain traded the divine right of kings for the divine right of Whitehall, and Whitehall is just as unaccountable as any Stuart monarch ever was.
