it's also kind of amazing to me that for all of this land has fewer than 12K followers on twitter. peterson is closing in on a million. and i like peterson, but still. land and company crafted the most interesting thing in continental philosophy in a generation and most of the world has absolutely no idea who he is. he's not only an absolute legend in terms of cyberpunk and philosophy, he wrote an absolutely iconic precis of the whole movement that is still yet to be said any better:

>The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.

ah well.

anyways, we have a while to go before we hit the bump limit. just curious to know how anons ITT would feel about a Cosmotech #7 at some point. we can do another book related to these ideas, or a general, or whatever. i've found this one to be quite interesting, and the deep dive into stuff that YH is talking about helps me clarify a few things. i'm thinking that i would probably like to go back and get a better sense of what Stiegler is talking about in terms of the relationship between memory, technics and time, because that's an aspect i'm still a little uncertain about myself, and it's a big part of why YH embiggens him so much. stiegler isn't really 'cyberpunk,' but he says some pretty wild stuff about civilization being more or less commensurate with technical progress. this is stuff land says also, and yet stiegler's view of humanity is less dark than land's also.

so, i'll leave that up to you guys. it kinds of depends on what you're interested in, i really don't want to come off as trying to railroad my own obsessions through the board.
