>The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.

Serious question, how do I write like Nick Land? His writing style makes me so wet.

>Did Land really claim that he had come back from the dead? Did he really think he was an android sent from the future to terminate human security? In person he belied these outrageous claims (both of which he did indeed make in writing), being thoroughly polite and amiable and, above all, willing to engage in earnest conversation with anyone.

Who is Gnon Abomenon?

Automation means either communism or machine rape to the death.

Pick one.

You're not allowed to pick, the machines will win.

I was an antinatalist until I realised we are here to create God.

I'm an accelerationist now. Praise Gnon.

I'm talking about Nick Land sitting to the right of a skeleton philosopher.

Give me a quick run down on Nick Land?

>reads Ghost in the Shell once

What is this guy's fucking problem? is he trying to be a supervillain or something?

Will his most recent work drop before 2016 is over?

So let me get this straight: basically he's an anarcho-capitalist who wants Elon Musk to run the solar system and genocide humanity?

There is no 'post-capitalism'. There is only post-humanism via capitalism.

So does he hate black people or what?

duh
transhumanism is just the blue pilled reddit verison of post-humanism

Nick Land wrote the best explanation of fascism and the Trump phenomenon I've ever read

Is he, dare I say it, our guy?

What is his endgame?
