it really is. totally worth reading. he's just one of those guys out there, i guess, who has digested all of this stuff and gone on Not Being Satisfied. like that joke maron has about the popcorn kernels at the bottom of the bag that don't pop, the ones with integrity. it's really just a kind of *relief* to discover writers like this who are insanely resilient to the Spectacle.

because there seems to me that there has been some kind of bizarro polarity reversal going on that's almost impossible to articulate. it's the crossing of the streams between marxism and liberalism, and the subsequent production of the control society that feeds on positivism in this way. zizek said it also - Enjoy. that is the thing. and land has said it culminates in teleoplexy. heidegger's metaphysics of production and all of the stuff that brings you to a lacanian shrink, baudrillard's society of simulation, all these various guys. and han has digested all of that stuff and drawn the conclusions: burnout. that is what it is.

so for what it's worth i completely endorse that marathoning. the rest of the world is going absolutely fucking berserk right now trying to harness or control everything that leads to that burnout in one way or another, and it's not going to work. but the days in which you discover writers who really do grasp the bigger, wider, secret picture are days on which the sun does well and truly shine. that's how it feels to me, anyways. and it's basically why i read these guys anyways: sometimes you don't even know what the proverbial words trapped in the body actually *are* until somebody else fucking nails it.

based af han. approval rating: maximal.

i'll never have girard, land, baudrillard, han, deleuze, lacan, heidegger and nietzsche in a room together to sort out what the fuck has happened to the world. but man would i be happy to fucking bring coffee to that glass bead game.
