Game B's decentralized theosophy vs. Dark Enlightenment's technocracy, shared esoteric roots, AI governance, surveillance, free will erosion, and Courtenay's Hegelian dialectic book.

During our podcast break, enjoy this replay of Courtenay's appearance on The David Knight Show from May 2025.

Key topics:

  • Dialectic between Game B (decentralized, theosophical "new operating system for civilization") and Dark Enlightenment (authoritarian, neoreactionary), both advancing technological singularity/noosphere.

  • Game B origins: 2011 Stanton meetings (Jim Rutt, Jordan Hall, Brett Weinstein), Emancipation Party, transpolitical movement, liquid democracy, blockchain voting, conscious evolution (Barbara Marx Hubbard, Teilhard de Chardin).

  • Dark Enlightenment: Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug), accelerationism (Nick Land), Peter Thiel, Elon Musk's technocracy roots, network states, tokenized economy, positive eugenics.

  • Shared esoteric ties: Gnosticism, ancient mysteries, spiral dynamics, theosophy, collective intelligence, fractal ownership, communitarianism as control mechanisms.

  • Concerns: Decentralization leading to world brain (H.G. Wells), AI governance, surveillance, and eradicating free will for collective "utopia" (dystopia in practice).

  • Courtenay's book (sneak peek): Hegel's dialectic as gnostic Jacob's Ladder and machinery of control. https://courtenayturner.substack.com/p/hegels-dialectic-a-gnostic-jacobs
