Marshall McLuhan saw the internet in the TV medium. McLuhan saw web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and beyond. Deal with it. He knew the result of media evolution at infinity approaching the Omega Point. He learned it from Finnegans Wake. He was the most advanced intelligent being in the history of mankind.

>how can you de-alienate when accelerationists and traditionalists and liberals want to continue the source of modern ennui in the first place?
by understanding. skip all the ideologies, skip the ennui too. stare into the madness and get face rolled & write poetry or compose a song. whatever the fuck. whatever.

cynicism/ennui: played.
the gutenberg galaxy & its pants-on-head retarded complexity: not played.

being a smug retard: meme.
being a triggered retard: meme.
having your shit shredded to pieces & contemplating
>those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools
: not meme.

>everyone is too shit scared to look forward, always backward, to the same thoughts that make capital stronger.
mcluhan: the future of the future is the present, and that is terrifying.

everyone is scared. everyone should be scared. but. but but. let's un-scare. let's de-alienate. let's re-thinkify. let's re-brainificate. let's upgrade paranoia & get a grip. let's All Of That.

shed cynicism, lose madness, drop the rest. let's Flaky Cosmic New Age Bullshit w/required and ugpill when we get too out there. much else.

let's activate the emergency battery power on philosophy & kill the t-1000.
>let's meme like a hysterical memecuck
>way ahead of you inner self
>ffs kys girardfag
>i'm tryin' i'm tryin' heah

>i.e bacchanalia and the carnival was seen as a necessary part of a sexually/gender repressed society
it was. 2000 years of oedipus will do that

>it seems desire and its regulation are not as simply as our limited classical knowledge would have us believe
boy you got that right

>a lesson Justinian learnt the hard way at nika
spenglerian grand-style history & much else did *absolutely* nothing wrong

>I always get the idea that you think this is all cool and interesting
i do

>and it is
aye

>but at the same time a lot of this stuff legitimately scares the shit out me
me too. don't think it doesn't. my life is a *mess* because of this shit. spent too much time thinking instead of being prudent

>I have no idea how to fix Land's wild ride, much less get off
me neither. randy savage had a good idea. mcluhan got it. girard. deleuze. slotetdijk. the chinese. the stoics. there's no end of philosophers out there to read. find the ones you like & read the shit out of them. believe the hype. philosophy is the coolest but it is indeed a Wild Ride.

one idea: don't be like me. don't be an unhinged lunatic. not worth it. much substance abuse follows. and, i will say this again, my five favorite words:
>i am not a philosopher

i'm not. i'm a meme-addled failed writer w/an unholy thirst for metaphysics. just a memer memeing. trying to clean his room. nothing more. warrants mentioning.
