>land is grrm of late 20th century pseudery
but that's not what i said, or at least what i meant to say: what i meant was, the story of Nick Land (and not only him!) is *good* enough, is interesting enough, to have been scripted *by* GRRM. which is, in a way, how i too read or interpret the story of continental theory - as a balls-out adventure through intellectual history, aka the Wild Ride. i'm not saying Land is like GRRM or any of this, i'm saying the larger story of ideas and their relations is more like Game of Thrones in its unpredictability, intrigue, and bittersweet melancholy.

>fucking retarded pseud. wouldn't have you any other way.
heh. YES. i am not a serious philosopher, nor did i ever intend to be one. i've said before what i consider my role to be: a cloaked and mutant figure who sells cheap and cursed relics in an antiques shop under a bridge. i like talking about all of this stuff and i think it is worth talking about, but all i can ever do is induce weird little itches or cast very low-level spells and cantrips to make things 0.0000004& more interesting. my best possible career outcome is to be an evil wizard in a TSR module who is destroyed by a small group of adventurers (levels 5-8) for corrupting the youth of Kobold Athens. you know what i am at this point. and thank you, the love is mutual.

>Nick Land is the antagonist. Clear and simple.
i disagree tho. more like Bloodraven. or a time-traveler from ITB, or perhaps a dark version of Miles Dyson from Terminator 2. this is my own projection, there is no question. have you read Templexity? he's got a Kafka-style wound in him from time and capitalism and he knows it (hence the picture: >>12631202 - the Revolution comes around and around again...). Land theory launches a thousand ships, many of which are horrible.

time is for realsies. i love Heidegger, massively. i think he is completely right about openness to Being, and he did a lot of heavy lifting for Lacan (tho not as much as Hegel and Kojeve) in terms of what existential psychoanalysis might be. like Baudrillard (and Deleuze) Land disdains all of this. so perhaps that explains my own agitated state: i'm trying to retrieve something for analysis from men who absolutely and explicitly want nothing to do with this. but that's more on me than on them. time and money and technology, technology and money and time...

>Ragnarök is coming, that is certain.
we can agree on this much tho.
