The last one about agriculture got me mad but these threads are really getting to me by now. You know what, all hail the building overlords, I see you guys in the cyber-fueled capital-driven rapture of deterritorialization of humanity into building livers and building makers. It will be glorious to unmake and rebuild the constituent matter of exoplanets into GLORIOUS BUILDINGS as we fill the galaxy with the concrete will of concrete.

I don't believe Zizek really (or even virtually, as he would probably put it) cares about any of this. He will keep tweeting drivel about abstractions of symbolic imaginary shit while people get meaninglessly "hurt" by his analysis.

Land probably has more ability than Peterson in spotting the predictable (and to be published in The Independent, predictability is an absolute must) ways in which he exposes his argumentation, so I have no idea why he's resorting to shitposting it up on the internet. Wait no, I actually know why, it's simply because Land has accelerated his brain into goo and is now a shitposter on the internet.

Zizek has interesting thoughts that become easy to follow through and even to anticipate once you have read enough about it, just like Land used to. Both of them have qt3.14 wives that are also writers so they have realistically no reason to fret over trivial matters like public debate (specially if said debate must be made within 3 or so lines of text), and just to wrap this up, I would actually say that, coming from Nick Land, it's actually a compliment when he says Capital is ready to fulfill its role of expelling you from the production wheel and assuming your place as an agent in itself.

Non-existence is extremely difficult (impossible?) to grasp, perceive, imagine, conceive, whatever you want to call it, it's hard as fuck to deal with. Most of the gripe humanity has ever had with death is no different than what it would have with not being born, since both of them imply, as far as we know, not existing.

Problem is, we were already born, so that one is out of the question, but death still looms around ever closer. And we never get any closer to solving the question of nothingness. When you ask why things exist, you are putting existence in contrast to something you can't possibly begin to know, or even assume/pretend to know, which obviously makes any answer really unconvincing.

Perhaps we are simply having a different outlook on the same kind of dreadful feeling, but to me nothingness is the truly mind-boggling word. How can anything not-be? Well, it can't in a strict sense, and that's awfully panic-inducing if you overthink it.

Let everyone examine your life then examine their examination, then examine life in itself

There's actually a very interesting essay by another living meme (Nick "Chinese will accelerate my niece" Land) digressing on the vanity of our space exploration "quest", and it touches on both the topics of the Apollo program as a war effort and the futility of attempts to make space economically viable in the eco-fascist lens of space colony enthusiasts.

I finished the very first rough manuscript of my novel. My main character is trapped in a basement for the first 350/500 pages. My publisher loves it and is talking about thos being worth a million bucks.

I have a bas feeling, I feel 'm plagiarizing, but I don't know from what. Inread a lot of stuff when I was beween 12-35 and then stopped.

I had this idea and built on it all the time, but what if I read it in some obscure shitty novel.

What stories do you know that habe the protagonist locked up in solitary for a long time? I already looked at oldboy, ut that's not ny story.
