What do we think of Nick Land and accelerationism?
>tell me what my opinion is
>>18012027What an unfortunate last name, now if he ever wanted to start his own theme park he'd have to call it "LandLand" or something
High on speed rnthanks for reading
>>18012031yes
>>18012043take some weed to counteract it
>>18012027Retarded and defeatist
He is probably giving Capital more credit than it is due. He is essentially an ultra-Marxist. All the prophetic shit about technology starts to lean into the theological. He has degraded into a race realist. Though, who knows. Maybe intelligence (language) did come from Outer Space.
>by losing every battle we are actually winning the warNo, you're just gonna lose, and lose bigly.
>>18012027He's significantly less retarded then people think he is but he is still a retard. He's also the youngest political philosopher i can think of with any actual influence on world history, which i find mildly concerning considering how old he is now. We really are in a age divide of political thought and philosophy
>>18012027Responsible for trans groomers who hate femboys
>>18012027He doesn't compare to the Bayesian Bad Boy Yudkowski. That kike is my favourite retard, and Nick Land's battle with the Yakuza using only continental philosophy and amphetamines doesn't match up.
>>18012203my nigga

I think accelerationism will be vindicated as Europe turns towards right wing nationalism thanks to the dominance of neoliberal globalism after the end of the cold war.
>>18012039That got a slight smile out of me
>>18012039Couldn't he call it Nick Land?
>>18012027>>18012188Give me one reason why I shouldn't reduce accelerationism down to serving the most powerful entity you can find. It seems to me all new-age right wing philosophy is comped and astroturfed because it's pro authority, not influential on its own merit. To me, all these guys are political cargo cultists. They use all the words and concepts from nationalist or socialist politics, and they represent real people, but they're not a political movement in the sense of trying to achieve something politically. They just use the vocabulary to make centrism and submission sound exciting. Land is probably at the highest tier of this 'movement,' this renunciation of rights.
Accelerationism is less a political program than a lens: it frames history, tech, and society as forces to be accelerated.
A "mirror held up to reality" you might say. Very erudite.
