Landfag? I'm just getting used to this name tho. We'll see. If I had an avatar to go with this handle it would be the dancing broom from Fantasia.

Girard is still the boy for now because in the end I still subscribe to the idea of memes and desire as being what makes the whole world turn. They're the most ephemeral things of all, but if the reason *why* we need all of this capital is ultimately psychological, then I think that psychology is properly understood as being mimetic in nature just as Girard describes it.

Also Deleuze is a god-tier metaphysician and he's there in everything Land is saying. But Nick Land might bump somebody off my 3x3 chart pretty soon. We'll see.

Incidentally, Akira is in the penthouse of the Acceleration film canon.

>MacIntyre on Aquinas will be, I think, worthwhile in exploring that avenue. I haven't gotten to his Thomistic turn yet, but it's getting there.
I'm fully and wholly amped whenever I see those Catholic threads on /lit/ these days. I don't know what this means. Nietzsche is for all-time of course but yeah. Thomism. I like ethics, I like Confucius...we'll see about that too.

Sweet. Sweet sweetness.

Is Guattari underrated tho? I've seen some people really like him, recommending Brian Holmes and so on. I read Chaosmosis and he seemed like an interesting guy. Got a little weird with the Schizomatic Cartographies or whatever but still. Deleuze may be like John and Paul to his George/Ringo, but still.
