The article explores Curtis Yarvin's ideology of formalism, which asserts that violence is the paramount problem facing humanity, overshadowing other issues such as poverty and climate change. Yarvin argues for a pragmatic approach to resolving violence through clear rules of ownership and conflict resolution, dismissing social justice as impractical. The article highlights his belief that understanding the outcomes of conflicts in advance can mitigate violence. Thus, formalism aims to establish order and ownership clarity as a means to eradicate violence before addressing other societal concerns.
Violence is the only truly significant problem facing humanity, and until it is eradicated, other issues like poverty become insignificant.
Formalism posits that conflict breeds violence; if everyone knows the outcome of disagreements in advance, they might avoid violence entirely.
