Curtis Guy Yarvin (born 1973), better known by his pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American computer scientist and neoreactionary. He is the creator of the Urbit computing platform and the author of the blog Unqualified Reservations.
His writings have played a foundational role in the creation of the neoreactionary movement. Yarvin initially used the term "formalism" to describe his thought (a usage inspired by legal formalism[1]) but the term neoreactionary (which Yarvin first used in 2008[2][3]) spread after Arnold Kling described Yarvin and others espousing similar ideas as such in 2010.[4][5]
His opinions have attracted controversy. In 2015, his invitation to speak about Urbit at the Strange Loop conference was rescinded on account of his political views.[6]
