What's Nick Land's current twitter? I know he lost the password to @Outsideness, and he moved to a new account, but I can't remember the name of his new account. Figure one of you would know

How does one get started with Nick Land?
I read pretty much everything by Nietzsche and I think I'm ready to graduate to adult philosophy. I tried picking up Machinic desire, but I am getting filtered by the terseness of the language

Are there any introductory works that are more accessible to a brainlet like me?

Bros I quoted Nick Land and Ted K in my philosophy essay and my professor laughed out loud reading it, wtf?

What Kant do I need to read before I go into Nick Land

What is he doing in China if he's far-right? I don't get it. How does he even post on Twitter with the firewall?

How would explain this guy to a retard like me?

He was right about everything.

Thoughts, should I read him? Is he just a basement schizophrenic or a genuine good author?

Apologize.

Nick Land and Uncle Ted shall be remembered as the Plato and Aristotle of our times.

>from fringe philosopher to twitter shitposter
Has there ever been a bigger fall from grace?

ITT: authors that use 4chan

Nick Land. He calls Kaczynski one of the most important and profound thinkers of our time and the self-prop system stuff ties in neatly with accelerarionist cybernetics. They roughly share a diagnosis of the current moment in history.

Where they differ is that Kaczynski is a humanist Luddite who wants to stop it to save humanity and Land is an antihumanist accelerarionist who wants technological intelligence to completely overtake the universe. Whereas a cope artist like Kurzweil think the singularity will reunite him with his dead daddy and create paradise on earth, Land realises that there is no reason at all for technology to cater to us once we have outgrown our purpose and is enthusiastic about meatcucks being surpassed and obliterated by something more advanced.

The 21st century is basically the battleground of these two outcomes. Either the technological system will collapse, or it reaches escape velocity before humans can crash civilisation.

Now that AI is all the rage, what's some essential AI and robotics literature?

The Venerable Bede relates how Pope Gregory I, upon encountering two boys in a slave market, is told they are Angles. This word itself then tells him that they and their people are destined to be “coheirs” of the angels, and through Bede’s ears—or imagination—the prophetic slippage enters history. In this moment, English vindicates itself definitively. Solemn Providence is initially exemplified.

It is common Scripture that makes a people. By English Scripture, here, is meant our canon–an essentially controversial conception, in multiple respects. The cultural and institutional space it occupies is roughly that of a national church, of which none exists. Its authority is absolute but sublime—“invisible.”

Central to this canon is the Tyndale Bible, superseded by the Authorized King James Version of 1611, and then—forever—by no other. The works of William Shakespeare are equally sacred to it, while the epic poetry of John Milton is scarcely less doctrinally imposing. Its most formidable outposts include the great classics of Adam Smith and Charles Darwin. Those peoples under the direction of such a canon—as though under a supreme law—are called here the English. If this label is not predominantly aggravating, it has failed.

Kurzweil is trash, read Nick Land for a more realistic take on acceleration that isn't humanist cope about meeting your dad daddy in atheist heaven again.

This century is the final battle between Kaczynski and Land. Either the technological system will break and collapse before it can innovate itself out of the current problems or it will reach escape velocity.

With these recent developments it is becoming plausible again that tech may win.

Wow, things are really bad!

certain neonazi groups have adopted his philosophy
is reading him in public as bad as mein kampf yet?

post your literature that can't be discussed openly with anyone without sacrificing your social status
post what happened when you tried that one time to discuss it

Can someone explain to me what the fuck CCRU and Nick Land were talking about when they wrote about Lemurian time wars or time sorcery?

In your own words, what is Nick Land's conception of desire?

Can any of you explain young lands conception of desire for me?
