one more thing. have a look at this passage. land isn't making any of this shit up. between the factory and the computer lies the *corporation,* which is a heightened form of computerized control-organization. land just concludes that the telos of libertarianism is ultimately technological, which is where things get crazy. and he is indeed a crazy guy, but he's only continuing a thought-experiment begun by hegel and now heading for parts unknown. this essay is crucial for understanding the link between deleuze and land, as much as teleoplexy is what Old Nick was aiming at way back when he was Young Nick. his right politics don't have to be absorbed fully, but the line of thinking really isn't so crazy for all that.

no, looks interesting tho. apart from re-watching mad men i watch very little TV or movies or much of anything these days, although i used to watch quite a lot. is it good?

b/c it is a good premise. just accumulating capital for itself its the default position, and it's how we are perhaps generating a Napoleon-AI to give us what we really want but are afraid to say. reflecting on what we might do with Fuck You money with the caveat that we can't keep it all for ourselves (that is to say, it's now no longer Fuck You money) but we could use it to stimulate growth in such a way that it would be beneficial to us later on. obvious nepotism and insider trading and things like this would be heavily marked in red pencil by the Committee For Knowing Things, &c.

that's a great endorsement! most prescient thinker of all time? i mean, i was over the moon with deleuze's book on him, but i understand that's a different thing. reading the guy himself is always better.

i've got about nine open tabs right now and they all say Whitehead in them, so my dance card for reading is sort of full at the moment, but whitehead connects directly to leibniz and mentions of leibniz are frequent, so i guess that's the direction to head in next. updated my journal. thanks anon! looking forward to it already.

cyber-baroque > cyberpunk anyways. i'm tired of being a nomad-punk anyways. leibniz really does sound like exactly the guy i'll want to read soon. can you recommend a good guide? what's your favorite text by him? again, i'm not a math guy so anything that is light on the formulas and stuff would be better.
