Tim Cook ruling America is not "dreaming big" and it is also not the "original sense" of monarchy. Monarchs were traditionally warrior kings. Think Alexander the Great and his generals. Yarvin putting forth "Tim Cook" as a monarch is a perverse distortion of that historical institution.
“I think it confuses more than clarifies” — I agree. He is an obscurantist, intentionally deceptive for the purposes of titillation rather than clarity. Tim Cook monarchy isn’t fascism, and I’m not excited by it.
I'm so envious you got to see this! Do you know if it will ever appear online? I heard it was filmed...

Monarchy literally means the rule of one, and this is the way Yarvin uses the term.
That is true in a shallow semantic sense. I prefer a deeper understanding of history, tradition, class, psychology.
