Courtenay on Out Of This World – Game B vs. Dark Enlightenment

Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description

Game B’s theosophical utopia vs. Dark Enlightenment’s technocracy, esoteric roots, surveillance tech, fantasy delusions, and resisting AI-driven control


During our podcast break, enjoy this replay of Courtenay's appearance on Out Of This World with host Jamie Hanshaw from June 2025.


Key topics:

  • Dialectic of Game B (decentralized, theosophical utopia) vs. Dark Enlightenment (authoritarian technocracy), both pushing a technological singularity/noosphere.

  • Game B details: 2011 Stanton meetings (Jim Rutt, Jordan Hall, Brett Weinstein), transpolitical movement, civium projects, collective intelligence, and UN/climate narrative ties.

  • Dark Enlightenment: Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug), Nick Land’s accelerationism, Peter Thiel’s network states, and technocracy roots (e.g., Elon Musk’s grandfather).

  • Esoteric influences: Theosophy, Gnosticism, neoplatonism, occult symbolism (e.g., Saturn, X logo), and subversion of Christianity (Jordan Hall, liturgy for communitarianism).

  • Cultural impact: Predictive programming (e.g., Mickey 17, Dollhouse), surveillance tech (internet of nanobio things, Palantir), and fantasy delusions shaping technocratic agendas.

  • Courtenay’s insights: Decoding technocrat lingo, resisting utopian traps, and preserving free will against AI-driven control.
