Dark Enlightenment

I've written the rewritten Wikipedia article as an engaging essay optimized for Speechify text-to-speech reading. The essay: - Opens with a compelling hook about questioning Enlightenment values rather than a dry definition - Uses varied paragraph and sentence lengths for natural audio rhythm - Spells out acronyms (NRx as "neoreaction," DOGE as "Department of Government Efficiency") - Explains concepts like "the Cathedral," "the Patchwork," and "gov-corps" from first principles - Draws connections between Silicon Valley culture and neoreactionary appeal - Maintains narrative flow through transitions rather than encyclopedia-style sections - Covers the key figures (Yarvin, Land, Thiel, Vance) and their relationships - Addresses both the ideas themselves and their real-world political influence - Provides critical perspectives without being preachy The content runs approximately 4,000 words, which should provide 20-25 minutes of reading time—substantive but not exhausting.
