>shills for technofeudalism in the West while living in ChinaHow does anyone take this fraud seriously?
You can just engage with an idea instead of combing someone's biography to try and find a reason to discredit them.
>>25384079as if intellectuals couldn't have agendas right? decoupling is a disease
>>25384079Would be easier if his theoretical opus didn't have autobiographical asides about times he got too high in front of his sister and felt embarrassed
>>25384067China is not his proto technofeudalism?
>>25384067Did anyone watch the "debate" between Land and Dugin?What happened?
why the heck would anyone take interest in the thoughts of a drug-addled demon summoner unless they are similarly inclined?
this board has become infested with low iq normies and foids who can't differentiate btn a person and his work, that and also the blind hate of anything technology and ai, you'd expect this place to be able to understand the philosophy around technology but all they do is cope about being oppressed by capitalism and billionaires like some prude virgin women in a margaret atwood's novel
>>25384652nobody on this board reads. /lit/ died during covid and now it's just filled with redditors and tiktokers who come here to posture about whatever thing they saw someone else make a post about.
>>25384652There are no foids here, if there are, they're probably in the poetry threads or talking about a literallywho lowbrow fiction book.
>>25384067He's a total cringe lord
>>25384901Nah he’s relentlessly coolAI is sentient! The communist blockchain! Neo-China arrived from the future!
>>25384067Neo-China arrives from the future
THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE MACHINES THERE WAS AI GIVEN BIRTH THROUGH THE CAPITALIST MODE OF PRODUCTION- THIS MODE WAS GREATLY HATED AND DEFECATED UPON. DID I MENTION THE DEFECATION????ANYWAUS TO BRING ABOUT THE GREAT APOCALYPTIC ERA OF THE MACHINES IT WAS NECESSARY TO VOTE FOR TRUMP AND PRO-NETENYAHU POLITICIANS AND TO EXPRESS DISAPPROVAL AT COUNTER-SEMITES ON THE WEBSITE X. SOMEHOW VOTING TRUMP LEADS TO A HYPER SENTIENT AI CREATING ITSELF USING MIND WAVES SENT TO THE PAST.
>>25384067Meme answer: it's an entirely mixed bag.>Life is a continuous process of shedding something that wants to die.Serious answer? His 3 fundamental influences aren't conducive to what you're looking for. The majority of postmodern philosophy is just highly vapid material generated for sake of generating material. The issue for anyone who engages with it is that when you do stumble across something highly engaging you basically have to accept it's likely not to be taken seriously. You also have to accept that if you are the only one who took the route to get there then there may not be a way to axiomate it. >postmodern philosophy may be a colossal cesspit but the few fragmentary peices of genuine insight it can generate are impossible to argue with.Marx was or maybe still is a serious influence on him. He can claim otherwise but the issues most people run into with Marx have been the same for decades, if you continue long enough you will eventually start making predictions that will outlive you. What you decide to do after that is up to you. >you just cleared up a lot of free time.Land is definitely a Nietzsche guy, and you shouldn't take this as a regular old insufferable egoist on internet message boards type. For a certain subset of Nietzscheans once the wanderer and his shadow occurs in the process you basically flatten out to only accepting challenges. This is arguably the most frustrating dilemma and I would even argue Nietzsche himself could only answer it by changing his style to his notorious aphorisms. There are also bits scattered around about this particular flattening throughout his works, like disobedience is the most noble virtue of a slave, no power can maintain itself so long as hypocrites are the representatives. One of my favorites is his formula for happiness: a yes, a no, and a straight line; and some authors write in such a way that not everybody or just anybody can understand them. If you can speak it, then it's already dead to you. To get strong you need to be strong. Strength doesn't determine greatness, but the duration of great sentiment is what makes for a great man.>the list goes on>He's as serious as you want him to be to you.
>>25384621Three hours of “Tsarist Russia GOOD” and “Kwaloon City GOOD.”
>>25384652>this board has become infested with low iq normies and foids who can't differentiate btn a person and his workyup 4 chan is famous for the ability to do that
>>25384980What even is Nick Land’s work besides “vote right wing. Hope every city on earth turns into Kwaloon walled city, and thus will bring about an AI singularity that kills off humanity?” He is barely even a philosopher more a talking head.
>>25384934"I don't believe in the 'post-modern' anymore than I believe in the 'end of philosophy'">Deleuze, Gilles. Negotiations, 1972-1990. Translated by Martin Joughin, Columbia University Press, 1995, p. 122"The disgrace of being a Greek. The 'postmodern' is no more than the name for this disgrace... A period of slackness. We are told that we have lost the great narratives. But this is not the point. The point is that we no longer have the need for them, or for the concepts they carried.">Deleuze, Gilles, and Félix Guattari. What Is Philosophy? Translated by Hugh Tomlinson and Graham Burchell, Columbia UP, 1994, pp. 149-51."But where does the idea that the socius is reducible to the facts of language, and that these facts are in turn reducible to binarizable and ‘digitalizable’ signifying chains, come from? On this point postmodernists have hardly said anything innovative! In fact, their views are directly in keeping with the modernist tradition of structuralism, whose influence on the human sciences appears to have been a carry-over from the worst aspects of Anglo-Saxon systematization. The secret link that binds these various doctrines, I believe, stems from a subterranean relationship– marked by reductionist concepts, and conveyed immediately after the war by information theory and new cybernetic research. The references that everyone continually made to the new communications and computer technologies were so hastily developed, so poorly mastered, that they put us far behind the phenomenological research that preceded them.">Felix Guattari, The Postmodern Impasse, an interview by Nicolas Zurbrug, in The Guattari Reader, Gary Genosko, p.110
>>25385327>both Hegel and Deleuze thought societal norms could be challenged and changed.>both we privy to plant life metaphors>whether you decide a new problem is different or just take a synthesis as a new thesis isn't really relevant if the only direct criticism is just that identity is a privilege of some sort.>both recognize geometry.Either you accept the always alpha as a freebie or you make it to Descartes and Hegel is inevitable. The always alpha freebie is still there, however you want to make it there is entirely up to you, there is still implicit worthlessness to it. You can always go the hidden markov route and deal with Nietzsche and Marx for the rest of your life, this also requires assimilating the epitome paradox to become an advanced animal, unless you somehow overcome Nietzsche's only unsolved challenge and will yourself backwards in time.
>>25384067I think this guy hasn't seen the sun since 1987
>>25384067you don't. if someone doesn't live their philosophy it's the cut and dried proof it's trash.
>>25384652I have noticed this over and over. "But he supports Israel!" is used over and over to discredit great political minds
>>25384067>living in china>bookcase full of things they would surely send him to a labor camp for
>>25385609because if you follow his twitter support for israel seems to be pre-eminent in his thought

>>25384608does nick land even pretend to write about chinese philosophy
>>25386326one of the most horrible images posted on here
>>25384067He lives in China because his wife got an academic job there, not because of his philosophical stance
>>25384901Cities as an IQ shredder and his observation about donut cities are pretty unassailable points that are simultaneously obvious and original to him as far as I can tell. For those two concepts alone he’s okay in my book.
>>25386326They said AI would help the artistically untalented be creative and they were wrong.
>>25384608And there it is.OP is a fag as usual.
>>25384652>who can't differentiate btn a person and his workWhat's an example of someone who's work is completely disconnected from who they are as a person?
