Project Cosmos unites major thinkers from the American right to examine differences and potential synthesis among the tech right, religious postliberalism, right-populism, and traditional conservatism. The inaugural episode featured Curtis Yarvin, Chris Rufo, Christopher Caldwell, and Patrick Deneen focusing on executive power, the administrative state, and the common good. The episode ran over two hours, allowing extended deep tangents on the nature and state of American community, bureaucratic class interests, and presidential power over the administrative state. The inclusion of Curtis Yarvin departs from typical institutional conservative voices and he has become an intellectual touchstone for several New Right figures, including Vice President J.D. Vance, despite relatively limited engagement compared with movements like Catholic integralism.
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) brought together a selection of major thinkers from the American right to launch its new podcast, Project Cosmos, which debuted Tuesday. Project Cosmos is intended to be a forum that can explore at length the differences and similarities of the newly fractious right, examining the possibilities for forming a new synthesis from the disparate strains of the tech right, religious postliberalism, right-populism, and traditional American conservatism.
The inaugural episode featured Curtis Yarvin, Chris Rufo, Christopher Caldwell, and Patrick Deneen discussing executive power, the administrative state, and the common good. At over two hours long, the conversation had more than sufficient time to dive deeply into the conceptual weeds-long tangents explored the nature and state of American community, the class interests of bureaucrats, and the power of the presidency over the administrative state all feature at length.
