Most of us agree that Nick Land is the last philosopher who is/will be in the western canon, at least in our lifetime. Maybe Curtis Yavin too but Land actually has books that will be taught in college.

So now that NRx/techno-feudalism is the only way out for western civilization, what are the implications for literature in general? Is authenticity impossible without using some degree of AI?

As a big brained intellectual is there really nothing more interesting to talk about than the culture war.

Like is that what we're reduced to now I'm the western intellectual tradition.

No wonder smart people just go into STEM to avoid all this bullshit.

First it was the woke now it's the anti-woke, same thing.

>rightwingers so obsessed with saving jewmanity that they bend the political spectrum into a pretzel so they can shift it into "likes jews" and "doesn't like jews"
>the right is now defined simply as "likes jews", all other political views are inconsequential
The final form of the migger. Please stay on /pol/.
>>
>>25303767
STEM is where the authentic spirit of the Western intellect went. What is, today, left entirely outside of it is mostly just intellectual masturbation.

Hence >>25303770 having a meltie: you're denigrating his goon persona just by mentioning that STEM exists.

But yeah, things are grim.

Is that Nick Land's new twitter account? I hate these Nrx tech bros so much btw.

The future is such that literature does not exist. Individuals will find it on their kindles and other devices, they may even be able to order it physically, but they will not be made aware that it only exists for them. On their kindle, when ordered physically, it will always be a print run of one.

This is because literature will be print content generated to target the already harvested profile of any given user (i.e. data set).

"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

No. Bostrom, Kurzweil, Scott Alexander, and Eliezer Yudkowsky are the most important and influential philosophers of the 21st century, like them or not. Effective Altruism and Longtermism are the most defining philosophies and ideologies of our time.

How in the ballsack are JQ fags hard left?
Ask them about immigration and they don't want any of it; that is a right side position.
Ask them about climate change and they'll say it's bogus and support non-reusable energy capitalists; that is a right side position.

Climate change was an actual problem but solar power adoption has solved it. Give it a decade and we’ll be at net zero
>>
>>25304765
Listen pal, i hate to be the one to tell you this but le greenhouse gases are a hoax, and the climate is primarily correlated with sun activity. And there's not supposed to be any ice caps.
>>
>>25304773
Solar still sucks cock for anything serious, will continue do so for fifty years, and all the solar/battery industry pollute the shit out of the environment

The companies that pushed climate change denial propaganda had internal science departments saying anthropogenic climate change was real..

No it doesn't, you're years out of date. Solar panels are cheaper per square foot than plastic fencing now and have 30+% efficiency.

>>25303807
don't tell them the truth, it's too hard to handle and gets even funnier since most lit anons larp as people who love philosophy for the truth that it reveals, yet they can't handle the truth of ai and capitalism currently facing them, there won't even be a kindle, or rather it won't be a popular option, media will move on from curated print and video to self generated fantasy

this is the conservative prediction at this point, but i'm taking a longshot bet that it's actually going to be ziz
>>
>>25306018
Zizek gets shilled a lot by the establishment to guide Marxists into supporting NATO so his footprint is oversized although I agree he is much more interesting than the aforementioned
>>
>>25303762
I think this is relevant to Land's philosophy, and especially to his post in OP. Basically: what should I do if I'm an IQ supremacist who thinks the smartest people should be in charge, if I recognize that Ashkenazi Jews have one of the highest average IQs, but I also fucking hate them because they are quite possibly the most obnoxious people, both ideologically and personally, on this good earth? How do you square IQ-maxxing with antisemitism? I wouldn't mind putting Jews in charge if they didn't seemingly try so hard to be the biggest shitheads out there.
>>
>>25306024
i was actually talking about the bicameralist vegan transsexual, not zizek
i agree that zizek is more interesting than kurzweil and bostrom, but not alexander and yudkowsky (though yudkowsky is kind of an obscurantist and his most publicly visible views are not his interesting ones)
>>
>>25303786
>>25304543
NTA but the purpose of a system is what it does. If the right wing gets into power and immediately starts doing the will of Betar USA, if it deports critics of Israel, if it wages war for the Jewish lobby, if defenders of the project must disavow people criticizing Jews as enemies, then it's a Jew worship machine. You can either worship Jews or be a hard left wrecker. Up to you.

"Hey guys, aren't degeneracy and anti-degeneracy the same thing? I'm very smart btw."
>>
>>25306100
> worship Jews

The fringe left and Muslim lobby have completely taken control of the narrative on this. Trump “worships Jews” by supporting another nation’s independence and the state happens to have a Jewish makeup to it.

>we give dem money!

Uh the US supplies money/ weapons/ protection to the NATO countries of Europe too but it’s just not framed the same way.
