same? just curious.

see pic rel. suppose the earth is all one humongous and squishy thing. let's think ultrashitty for a moment. suppose that us meatbags are nothing more than little tiny blobs of dimly self-aware slime scraped out on a few little outcroppings here and there, coming awake just long enough to realize that we are fucking infinito-galactically small and pathetic and evanescent; just long enough to make a few FB postings and then fucking die. suppose all this. brassier & woodard & negarestani & whoever else. correlationism and all of that.

i do not want to get into a retarded back and forth about the proven empirical existence of the noosphere, because that is going to be tedious af and will only open me up to every kind of positivist silliness. personally? i think it makes a lot more sense to believe in something like this than otherwise: and certainly in terms of *culture* if not philosophy and empiricism.

here are my five new favorite words: i am not a philosopher. i can hardly even describe how enjoyable it is to say this phrase. it feels so fucking good. so good. because i'm not. i'm a guy trying to create a little useful and malleable space between himself and his ideas, and inquiring into where ideas come from, and mos def not trying to propose What The State Should Do Next. not my thing. nor is it my thing to give Hortatory advice or anything else. i would like to write fiction. it's all i ever wanted to do, really. i just wound up in continental land b/c of my very keen desire to know how it was that i could somehow see how dragons & wizards worked w/o having ever encountered one in reality.
>i mean besides peter thiel ofc

so i happen to think the noosphere is an interesting *concept* to think about. and i also find that flaky new age cosmic bullshit does a lot for the butterflies in my stomach. as Capital and memes, it's not so far from everything nick land writes about. it's just a question of perspective, imho. a noosphere seems to open up a lot of interesting doors and possibilities, allows for other thoughts.

and i detest Because Reasons solipsism. i just do. much prefer Because Reasons aporia.
