Curtis Yarvin (born June 25, 1973) is an American software developer and political writer who publishes under the pen name [[Moldbug]] and is the founder of the [[Neoreaction]] (NRx) movement and co-originator of the [[Dark Enlightenment]] ideological current. His blog *Unqualified Reservations*, active from April 2007 through 2014, argued that liberal democracy is a failing state form and should be replaced by a corporate, monarchical government organized under what he termed [[Neocameralism]].
