i rate it 10/10 because it is the only one we have at the moment, and because the longest journey begins with the smallest step.

the Cosmotech loop is mainly one that runs from Hegel to Land, through Marx. the real sorcery here is that with both Hegel and Land we have a kind of a Spirit which runs at some point through economic and subsequently technological process: in Hegel's case, it's Marx himself; and in Land's case, it occurs through teleoplexy. Hegel/Marx/Land are three engine cores of a diabolical machine known as the Wild Ride.

parallel to these processes, although deeply intertwined with them, are the psychoanalysts and the schizoanalysts: Freud, Lacan, and D&G. the gospel of Hegel-Marx is Kojeve's Introduction to the reading of Hegel, and Jean Hyppolite is right there with him. Kojeve puts Hegel, Marx, and Heidegger in one place, and his influence on Lacan is substantial, because Lacan takes Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Freud and many others and gives you...himself, Jacques Lacan. who is a large deal with fries.

Lacan, we claim, has the belt until Deleuze and Guattari. warrants mentioning here, the point is *to tell a very particular story* here, and not get into an infinite academic or pseudo-academic shit-flinging contest over whether Oedipus is the jam or Artaud is the jam. that part matters not. the reason why people are turned off of continental theory is because it just seems like a demented carousel of metaphysical sky-castle building, which it both is and isn't. in summa: it is until you read it, and then it isn't. it is the position of Cosmotech that the power of meme-magic is real. all we are looking for is *coherence,* and a narrative of a process internally consistent enough to be a *departure* for future speculative adventure, whether this takes the form of theory, fiction, theoryfiction, performative dance or Buddhist meditation.

anyways, so Heidegger and Nietzsche are in this thing too. Nietzsche is That Dude for Heidegger, Lacan and Deleuze (as well as Foucault, but in part the reason for Cosmotech being a thing at all is due to Uncle Nick's break from anything like Foucaultian Left Nietzscheanism and towards his own Deleuzian Right Marxism, which later becomes teleoplexy. and also because Byung-Chul Han is /ourguy/ and he fires on Foucault more or less accurately in pretty much all of his books. and Based Han is also a big fan of both Hegel and Heidegger.)
