This needs context for people who don't know who he is from the photo.
It's Bobby Fisher, based anti-semite, extraordinary intelligence, well travelled, had a Japanese wife and lived there for a while. Lived and died in Iceland at the end of his life.
Also played a bit of chess.
It was a good one. He has a front row seat via his kids and their circle how this is all going down for them.

I agree that there will be pockets of freedom in many places.
Here's what else we're going to see - people forced by necessity to become deadly serious about values, meaning and purpose.
I predict that through that effort, people will discard fairweather ideologies. Everyone will undergo their own reinvent-the-wheel process.
Some will finally understand why true things persist, other won't. Billions must learn.
Atheism is definitely a religion and it's hilarious that everyone except atheists see this.
As for your values - "personal enlightenment, life, freedom and creativity .. constantly improvement" - those will barely get you through the good times. They damn sure won't get you through the bad.
As TFM says, the eternal "We'll see" has been invoked. We're about to hit the mother of all bull markets for bad times.
Religion is not stupid, slavish or "herd mentality". Historically, atheism is a very young and arrogant worldview that has never held cultural power like this before anywhere and is currently failing hard everywhere.
Religion is 100% necessary for large groups of people to co-exist and thrive across generations.
If you don't understand that then go through history. It is littered with endless cycles of corrupted versions of religion emerging and failing, over and over.
The other problem is that your community will not only be viewed as "slavish" by outsiders now, but definitely by your community's next generation of kids later on.
It's crazy difficult to start an intentional community, but almost impossible to keep it going longer than 3 generations.
Whatever beliefs bind them, men have to believe in it under extreme conditions:
1. bad times, where wife/kids lives are under threat
2. good times, when abundance leads to corruption
Your use of the word "slavish" here is 100% subjective. The problem you have is that there are too many people who disagree, partially or wholly, as well as those who only agree until they are convinced by something better, i.e. internet smackdown debates of 1v1 worldviews.
This is currently going on with redpill vs tradcon vs christpill vs islam vs progressive etc..
By today's standards, unless you can win over men in enough numbers through debate, no-one is going to follow.
If that turned into a boomer viral moment and they got on camera like she did and said "Yup, we done fucked up", it might affect younger generations more positively.
His approach is 100% spot on - use their own stupid worldview against them so they HAVE to somehow acknowledge how dishonest it is.
Or accept the humiliation of being trolled in real time by a white, male, slim chad.
Radfems found that out the hard way and I still chuckle about it. Move out the way bitch, woman v2.0 coming through.
