Extremist blogger to debate Harvard professor at unsanctioned campus event

Event between Curtis Yarvin, a favorite of Vance, and Danielle Allen put on by far-right publishing house

An extremist blogger, who has become the Trump administration's so-called dark enlightenment" sage, is debating a Harvard professor of political philosophy at an unsanctioned event on its campus next week.

Curtis Yarvin, who was for a time an obscure darling of Silicon Valley and the broader spectrum of the fringe right wing, has emerged as a major philosophical influence on key Capitol Hill power brokers. He is considered a favorite of Vice-President JD Vance, an ally of the tech mogul Peter Thiel, and having the ear of senior state department official, Michael Anton, among others.
