From the same article:
>The Introspective Superman provides a kind of desideratum for our so-called ‘epistemic accelerationism’. By becoming more and more aware of our cognitive apparatus, we become increasingly alienated from ourselves, yet the range of our ability to intervene upon ourselves expands. This is why it is unconditional: it involves self-laceration, the pulverisation of our everyday realities. Retrofitting it to any humanism or residual concern for human ‘self’ (as it is currently constituted) is to miss the point entirely: we dream of a day when ‘selves’ are an endangered species. Nevertheless, destitution and dislocation from manifest reality also provides epistemic lability and motility: this is why alienation is freedom. The more we learn how to encounter cognitive content as opaque, the more we dislocate ourselves from intuitive homeliness, yet the more we expand the range of our mobility and ability to intervene in this very process. Brassier relates this to the ‘involuted spiral of absolute knowing’: with each gyre of the spiral, we become yet more alienated, but also increasingly capable of epistemic motility (freedom). To become truly free we need to sacrifice our self-models at the altar of abstraction. Thus: we ought to expedite this process of alienation because it grants freedom and expands the range of recursive manipulation… but it does so at the cost of sacrificing everything within our quotidian realities: everything human, all senses of naïve and outmoded ‘self’ and ‘reality.'
