His writing becomes great if you read it as an art project/poetry about digital capitalism, but it quickly falls apart if you read it as theory.

Is he any less retarded than Zizek? At least Slavoj is somewhat cogent when you talk to him about philosophy. Yeah Nick is a racist and a transphobe but most leftists are racists. Just more dishonest about it than the right and we have our fair share of trans bashers too. Trans fetishizing is about as bad as hating them. I mean fetishize in a political sense not sex. If your turned on by trans girls good for you. I jerk to em too.

>>1831653
Jesus…. did he actually write that? That's fucking lame. He regularly posts about himself on 4chan I've heard. Lame. He should drop a cinder block on his head.

>>1831669
Ehh… some of his early essays were good but he was basically a Deleuze fanboy larping as le ebin hacker cyberpunk and his philosophical ideas have more holes in them than Spongebob. Just read some of his writing. Break down a random paragraph, parse the grammar, look at the words one by one, and that's when you realize 98% of the time its complete garbage. He appeals to edgy retards who are turned on by the idea of the world ending because they've got nothing better to look forward to.

Nick Land demonstrates that the history of liberal capitalist philosophy is just philosophers attempting to create more and more esoteric ways to rationalize bourgeois accumulation. Its like how every Super Bowl they have to come up with a new musical act that is more crazy and big brained than the last one.

It is unfortunate that he turned out the way he did, but perhaps that was always inevitable. The Nietzsche of the CCRU was bound to be driven fully mad eventually - it's just unfortunate that we are able to go on twitter.com and see it in full display.

I guess I'd describe his early stuff as, like, esoteric heretical Marxism with a cyberpunk aesthetic told from the perspective of a Kant scholar who somehow made contact with something eldritch and is now being consumed by it.

It tickles the brain if you're geared for that sort of thing, I think. If you read his (again, earlier) works like they're scattered journal entries from a Lovecraft story it all actually fits together pretty nicely. Not sure if that's what everyone wants when they're reading theory, but w/e, that's my take.

Before that dark enlightenment stuff he was pretty good but after that naaah. Dark Enlightenment seems cool and edgy to most of the people who never lived in a opressive theocratic regime but I lived most of my life in TurKKKey and it was the best example of how fucked the dark enligtenment is. Everything is ruled corporate style, lots of bribery, government only cares about profit, corrupt police, high tech low life etc. It is all fun and games until you live that life in real life

imagine my shock seeing a bunch of leftoids ITT who clearly haven't read Anti-Oedipus throwing around "schizo" as a pejorative. I would say that Nick Land and the CCRU were the last critical theory of any value to be made in the last dying gasps of the academic left becoming a completely irrelevant controlled opposition from the ivory tower, and ever since then history has been deliberately kept on pause as the AOE tries to figure out how to stop everything unleashed by the development of Axsys, but I'm not gonna try to defend such claims in a thread on an anonymous chinese cartoon forum.

He was interesting back when I was in my 20s. Now that my interests have shifted a lot of what he wrote doesn't speak to me much anymore, as much as his vision of capitalism just deterritorializing everything and taking human subjectivity with it in some kind of mad self-organizing death drive has poetic appeal

The key to understanding Nick Land is to read one of the actual unknowns of that whole CCRU group, a sort of esoteric Marxist philosopher/cybernetic theorist by the name of Ian Wright, who writes extensively about Capital as a Autonomous Control System tantamount to the Real God overseeing the human social relations that initially conjured it into existence

”The proletariat, on the contrary, is compelled as proletariat to abolish itself and thereby its opposite, private property, which determines its existence, and which makes it proletariat. It is the negative side of the antithesis, its restlessness within its very self, dissolved and self-dissolving private property. Within this antithesis the private property-owner is therefore the conservative side, the proletarian the destructive side. From the former arises the action of preserving the antithesis, from the latter the action of annihilating it.” - Marx, The Holy Family.
