>environmentalism
You know what? You're absolutely right. *Deep Ecology* is actually potentially one of the places where the left and the right can link up. Everybody loves trees. Check out Arne Naess, pic related sometime. Environmentalism - smart environmentalism - is a thing. It really does connect both sides. Or it could. Of course, there's no money in it right now. Whatever tho.

This is a fun two minutes as well.

Postmodernism can be genuinely postmodern in theory but seems to lead to modernist political experimentation in practice because it still runs on $$$. That's all. There needs to be room for freedom and dignity, which are complicated terms. Don't overthink it, it's a ten-cent point. I forget who it was that said that in the humanities too much humanity is given away for too little fiction. That's all.

> agree with this and the 'hermenetic' method your describing. Whatever the faults of histories countless ideologies, we learn an immense amount about human nature through them.
Yeah. Acceleration isn't really to me an ideology, more of a trajectory worth thinking about that maybe opens up the possibility of thinking about something that *could* work later. But it won't be an ideology. And you're right, there are new things.

>I'm not going to argue for the annihilation of all ideology. There are new things on the horizon.
That's the way I see things too. Don't try and kill the thing, it's like Bizarro Obi-Wan. Let it be.

>I'm really unclear about a lot of this stuff. A guy in the last Nick Land thread was way better versed in Land's notions of time travel, time binding, Kant, the Transcendental all that shit.
That guy may have been me. If you want I can try to explain some of this stuff more clearly, if you like, or as best I can. I have kind of an insane fascination with Nick Land these days.
