I see Moldbug is learning to be irrelevant

He's really getting much better. At this rate his posts will manage to be totally irrelevant in a couple years. 

Fascism is Christianity is Egalitarianism is narcissism.

Narcissists prefer their shared fantasy to be as detached from reality as possible, because it avoids the temptation to, you know, test the fantasy against the relevant reality. 

Narcissist: "The shared ennui of Being brings a connection to all who recognize it, allowing a collective to form around their access to the knowledge that I am awesome and you should worship me."

Co-dependent: "Yes! Yes! Of course!"

Narcissist: "Worship is when you use the claw side of the hammer instead of the flat side to hammer nails in."

Co-dependent: "This isn't working! 😠😖😠"

Narcissist: "(You're not supposed to actually pick up a hammer and try it, geeze...what a nerd...)"

If you want to make a lot of money writing nonfiction for random strangers, you need to satisfy cluster-B egos, because nobody else much cares. You have to into the crazies market. 

There's no way to square the circle so that you satisfy crazy psychological needs* without sounding batshit crazy.

 

Good advice has a market but it's not very big.

E.g. you can teach folk how to start building a garage but you cap out around a half-million views. It's hardly nothing but that won't get you a middle-class salary. 

Also you have to, like, know things. And that's work. Why work when you can scam madmen? It's not like America has any shortage of mental disorder...
