No polemic against numerology – whether conductedin the name of qabbala or of Oecumenic common reason– will transcend the magmic qabbalistic flux thatmultiplies and mutates its sense. Perhaps dreams ofnumerological archetypes even sharpen the lust forsemiotic invention, opening new avenues for qabbalisticincursion. But this at least is certain: Numbers do notrequire – and will never find – any kind of logicalredemption. They are an eternal hypercosmic delight.

>>25349840He actually admitted on Twitter that the biggest failure of his career was that Bitcoin ended up retracing the very thing it was meant to hedge against. Pretty funny if you ask me, he spent so much time on that Bitcoin book only to get absolutely BTFO by the market
>>25349847bitcoin died when it stopped being used for dark web buying and instead became an investment speculative.
Just a bunch of pseudo-intellectual mumbo-jumbo

>>25349853Halcyon days. Bitcoin was worth about £6 at the time, and you could get any drug you liked from the Silk Road.In theory I still have a couple of Bitcoins in a web wallet somewhere. I didn't bother keeping the address ...

>>25349813If he's so right where's my Ai assigned Touhou fuckboi?
Bitcoin is exactly like what we’ve had in the past except better because it has an extra layer of being native to the internet with better encryption and monitoring and organization. Nobody cares about degenerates who want to pay for drugs and cp. lolbertarians fail to realize that institutions are absolutely necessary.
>>25349843>Yeah ominous Ai from the future designed your tiny peepee to never cum in any pussyThis is so close to my actual belief system, its scary.
>>25351256Nick Land is not a libertarian
>he got everything rightHe literally spent a decade typing frantic schizoposts about how Bitcoin was going to dissolve the state, only for it to become an institutional ETF traded by BlackRock suits named Chad. The future didn't reach back through time to build a cyber-deity; it reached back to sell you a digital lottery ticket so an oligarch could buy another superyacht.You aren't being synthesized into a hyper-cosmic matrix, you're just a depressed dude staring at a screen at 12:30 AM while the world slowly gets slightly warmer and significantly more boring
>>25351428your post has a noticeable LLM-prose stink to it. but that aside, when you say,>You aren't being synthesized into a hyper-cosmic matrix, you're just a depressed dude staring at a screen at 12:30 AM while the world slowly gets slightly warmer and significantly more boringboth of those things are true. the technocapital AI is absorbing you into its ever-expanding circuitry, and living through this process is (contrary to '90s expectations) incredibly boring.
i love and hate 1990s Nick Land. i think he was right about *almost* everything. the (constitutive?) blind-spot for him is affect, joy, vitality. any affect that isn't the thrill of a plunge towards death is, for him, feeble illusion. i think everyone with some modicum of soul (for lack of a better word) has experienced intensities against which the infinitude of matter, the might of the global economy, the horrors of our biological substrata, are as nothing. those affects and intensities are what D+G seek to connect to with their lines of flight; and they're always advising extreme caution when drawing such lines because you can so easily lose your footing and slip into death and zero intensity. you need to keep your wits about you, stay attuned to the subtlest frequencies, ward off the 'cancerous body without organs'.but Land - for some reason blind to or contemptuous of such criteria - gleefully aborts his lines of flight and jumps aboard the death-train. his philosophy has no way to value joyful affect over the force of the market or of cyberspace or hell; all that counts is which has the greater power to crush. the cancerous body without organs is for Land the profoundest bwo, because it's exciting for him to see cells multiply so fast and do so much damage, it's easier to get your head around than desires one can't see under a microscope.he is in his way a strange kind of priest. he worships and fetishises a particular kind of power - the verminous, the cancerous, the death-bound - purely because it's more numerous and more destructive than anything else. but it's not really more intense. i think Land doesn't understand intensity. there is a plane he just doesn't have access to, or never learned to construct. he worships his weakness, he glorifies his depression; his is a new slave-morality.
>>25351633i should add that his race towards total drug-induced psychic death was truly noble and heroic and visionary, a valuable exploration we can all learn from. for the deathworld he entered was cyberspace. in his office in Warwick, surrounded by Pot Noodle cartons, he experienced, shamanically, within his own body, the entire future of the internet and cybercapitalism, and he discovered that it's not a portal onto the future but a lightless labyrinth with no way out - not the accelerator but the exterminator of all desire. i recommend everyone read A Dirty Joke, the final chapter of Fanged Noumena. we shouldn't let his sacrifice go to waste.
>>25349813that pic always cracks me up. he's trying so self-consciously to look evil.
