this is my sense also anon, it's exactly the Black Hole that you describe. it's bad to not know it's there, it's worse to know it's there, and it cannot really be hand-waved away

here is my sense: if there is an argument for schizo-shitposting here it is to actually perform a kind of controlled demolition on yourself in order to find out if you are in fact saying anything you really believe or if you are only really saying what Capital wants you to say. i know this sounds crazy but i think there's a grain of truth in it

in the end there is no mass-movement that resists this thing and that is the point. you have to be an individual, but your individuality is completely fucking compromised at every turn by industrialized pharmacological ressentiment that makes you feel good about the wrong shit and wrong about the good shit

schizo-neurotics are a problem for everyone it's true but they are particularly a problem for themselves.

>Giririsfiiffag are you a STATE APOLOGIST????????
i am an apologist for the Stalinist within that i cannot help but be. this is why i basically spend most of my days thinking about how to plan out a labyrinth that can be solved more or less easily, so that i am deprived of this weird feeling that i have anything at all of interest to contribute. i don't

>Aren't pirates just sea-nomads?
also no. it's not that hard to imagine a Kantian pirate autonomy that actually is pretty harmless

i would co-sign this. you really don't, which is kind of what is attractive about it, and also why Land's theory can (and should) be handled with some caution. but it does open the doors for all kinds of other interesting guys, or perhaps other guys who eventually cross paths with him.

sometimes i think of /acc really as being the Last Man's most exquisite revenge on himself...and i'm really glad that somebody wrote the books and papers that he wrote, because obviously there are mysterious relations between capital and mind control. becoming completely possessed by these is not the way to go, but he's hardly the worst Gloomy Malthusian or Darwinian or whatever, and it's not like these things aren't to some degree necessary as a corrective after a great and intoxicating age of decadence and bloat, the immunological deficiency viruses that Han and Sloterdijk (and i suppose Baudrillard too) talk about.

a kind of psychoanalyst of macroeconomic theory...who else can write stuff like this?

>§5.71 — There is something at work here that the psychoanalytically-inclined might gloss as a return of the repressed. Since the triumph of paper over metal has been the central public narrative of 20th Century monetary history, the effect is unsettling – even uncanny. The metallic model was supposed to have been left behind. More specifically, the populations of ‘sophisticated’ or macroeconomically-managed and thus at least partially post-capitalist societies were supposed to have been educated out of it, automatically. Nothing more distinctly signals economic primitivism among such peoples than metalized wealth. Explicit lessons had seemed unnecessary, therefore. A return of gold from the economic margins looked no more likely than a restoration of Germanic Paganism.

Land is based. it's not necessary to agree with him but it's fucking great imho that he's writing at all.
