### The moment you notice the ideas don't fit with your ideology (and
you are a statist). Again I have to commend you on very calm and
evenhanded treatment of this hatchet job on Moldbug and his buddies. I
have been reading Unqualified Reservations for years, and for me
anybody who whips out the old race card here ("scientific racism") is
just a hack.

Moldbug has a penchant for penning excessively long essays larded with
page-long quotations from white men dead so long ago they are not even
on the mainstream leftoid's target list anymore but he does have a
finely developed sense of humor and dozens of ideas that are
inspiring, if not always correct. I highly recommend his treatises on
money and how old statist propaganda has a way of becoming a widely
accepted fact after a mere 20 years of daily repetition. Luckily, with
Google Books, the words of modern world's vanquished foes are no
longer confined to the deep archives of university libraries but are a
mere click away from our screens.
