UNQUALIFIED
RESERVATIONS
BY MENCIUS MOLDBUG
 WELCOME TO UR
UNQUALIFIED RESERVATIONS is a strange blog:
its goal is to cure your brain. We’ve all seen
The Matrix. We know about red pills. Many
claim to sell them. You can go, for example, to
any bookstore, and ask the guy behind the
counter for some Noam Chomsky. What you’ll
get is blue pills soaked in Red #3.

Since we provide the genuine article, UR is

pretty much the anti-Chomsky. (As a broad
generalization, UR’s stance in any controversy
will be the opposite of Chomsky’s.) Take one
of our red pills—heck, split one in half—and
you’ll be in a completely different world.
 ABOUT THIS SITE
This site is designed as a permanent home for
Unqualified Reservations by Mencius Moldbug. It
includes ebooks prepared from the original
(https://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/) UR
source material as well as a complete chronological
archive. Although Moldbug himself has retired
(/2016/04/coda/) from UR, this site and the various
ebooks have been prepared with his permission, and
he receives all royalties from sales
(https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st_price-desc-

rh=n%3A133140011%2Cp_27%3AMencius+Moldbug&qid=1495567974&so
desc-rank).

Mencius Moldbug is widely credited with founding

neoreaction (NRx), a political philosophy and
intellectual movement dedicated to providing secure,
responsible, and effective government. A central
thesis of neoreaction is that accomplishing this goal
requires a critical re-evaluation of “democracy
(/2007/04/case-against-democracy-ten-red-pills/)”
from the perspective of political engineering and
informed by a study of the great political thinkers of
the past. As Moldbug puts it (/2009/09/gentle-
introduction-to-unqualified/#essence-of-reaction) in
A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified Reservations
(/2009/01/gentle-introduction-to-unqualified/) :
 The essence of any 21st-century reaction is the
unity of these two forces: the modern engineering
mentality, and the great historical legacy of antique,
classical and Victorian pre-democratic thought. The
adept, to achieve reactionary enlightenment,
observes that both yield the same result. What can
it be, but the truth for which all good men seek?
Armed with this sure and fearless faith, the Reaction
conquers all.

Although there are some who slander

(https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Neoreactionary_movement)
neoreaction, the reader is invited to evaluate UR for
himself and make up his own mind. Be careful not to
take everything Moldbug writes literally, though—as
Moldbug himself notes (/2009/09/gentle-
introduction-to-unqualified/#defoe-salt) when
discussing arch-reactionary Daniel Defoe
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Defoe), author
of The Shortest-Way with the Dissenters
(https://www.bartleby.com/27/12.html) and Robinson
Crusoe (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/521/521-
h/521-h.htm) :

Defoe was a tricky fellow after my own heart. He

too expects you to add your own salt.

Failing to add such salt

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_of_salt) when
reading UR is guaranteed to cause confusion.

Per Moldbug's request, the original UR blog comments

have been removed from the current archive. All
footnotes in the UR posts are by the site editor unless
indicated otherwise.

In addition to buying the Moldbug ebooks

(https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st_price-desc-
rank?
rh=n%3A133140011%2Cp_27%3AMencius+Moldbug&qid=1495567974&so
desc-rank), you can support Moldbug’s latest work by
subscribing to his Substack
(https://graymirror.substack.com/) (Gray Mirror of
the Nihilist Prince (https://graymirror.substack.com/))
and by buying Vol. I of the UR print edition
(https://passage.press/product/unqualified-
reservations-volume-1/) (including “A formalist
manifesto,” An Open Letter to Open-Minded
Progressives, How Dawkins Got Pwned, and a new
introduction by Curtis Yarvin).

MOLDBUG
EBOOKS
While it is certainly possible to read Unqualified
Reservations from start to finish (or to peruse the
excellent if slightly outdated topical archive
(/archive/Moldbuggery.html)), the Moldbug ebooks
represent the most systematic and accessible
introduction to neoreactionary thought. Lightly
edited and extensively annotated, the ebooks are
available both for purchase
(https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st_price-desc-
rank?
rh=n%3A133140011%2Cp_27%3AMencius+Moldbug&qid=1495567974&so
desc-rank) and for free online. They are listed here
roughly in recommended reading order, with
approximate print-equivalent page counts:

An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives

(/2008/04/open-letter-to-open-minded-
progressives/) (344 pages)

A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified Reservations

(/2009/01/gentle-introduction-to-unqualified/) (279
pages)

How Dawkins Got Pwned (/2007/09/how-dawkins-

got-pwned-part-1/) (106 pages)
Moldbug on Carlyle (/2010/02/from-mises-to-
carlyle-my-sick-journey/) (88 pages)
Patchwork: A Political System for the 21st Century
(/2008/11/patchwork-positive-vision-part-1/) (65
pages)

The table of contents for each ebook is available using

the menu on the upper right of the screen.
Descriptive chapter titles are used in the menu and on
the posts themselves, but the original titles have been
retained in the archive for historical purposes.

An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives

(/2008/04/open-letter-to-open-minded-
progressives/) is the first systematic introduction
Moldbug produced, and remains the most
comprehensive self-contained exposition of Moldbug’s
thought. Some readers, especially those with
technical backgrounds, may prefer the closely related
volume A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified
Reservations (/2009/01/gentle-introduction-to-
unqualified/), which develops the Matrix-style Red Pill
analogy that has become a hallmark of the dissident
Right generally and NRx specifically. If you’re
uncertain where to start, try them both and see which
one hooks you.

Serious students of neoreaction are especially

encouraged to read Moldbug on Carlyle
(/2010/02/from-mises-to-carlyle-my-sick-journey/),
which is more advanced than the introductory
volumes but represents some of Moldbug’s finest
work.

If you’re in a hurry, you can start with three shorter

individual essays:

“A formalist manifesto (/2007/04/formalist-

manifesto-originally-posted/)” (13 pages)
“Technology, communism and the Brown Scare
(/2013/09/technology-communism-and-brown-
scare/)” (29 pages)
“Sam Altman is not a blithering idiot (/2013/03/sam-
altman-is-not-blithering-idiot/)” (25 pages)

“A formalist manifesto (/2007/04/formalist-

manifesto-originally-posted/),” UR’s inaugural post,
sets the stage for the rest of the site. Meanwhile,
“Technology, communism and the Brown Scare
(/2013/09/technology-communism-and-brown-
scare/)” is the shortest self-contained introduction to
Moldbug’s political philosophy, and “Sam Altman is not
a blithering idiot (/2013/03/sam-altman-is-not-
blithering-idiot/)” is the most concise introduction to
Moldbug’s views on economics. If you have time for
only one, “Technology, communism and the Brown
Scare (/2013/09/technology-communism-and-
brown-scare/)” is probably the way to go, but all three
are well worth reading either before or after the more
extensive ebook compilations.
