Join us to discuss the Dark Enlightenment phenomenon with Arnaud Miranda, who just published Les Lumières sombres. Comprendre la pensée néoréactionnaire. The ideas the new reactionary thinkers like Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land defend are both ancient and hypermodern: destroying democracy, establishing a monarchy, running the state like a business, reestablishing inequalities between men and women, affirming differences between genetic heritages, and so on. Initially marginalized, they gradually gained the support of certain Silicon Valley billionaires, and their audience has continued to grow ever since. With Donald Trump's victory in November 2024, they believe they now have free rein to turn America into a laboratory for their wildest dreams. Arnaud's analysis highlights the originality of the neoreactionaries while placing them in the long history of ideas. It provides an opportunity to read their texts and assess what could well become our future if we are not careful."
