/lit/ - Literature

there's commonality, in other words, between YH and MM on these lines. again, YH:

>Maybe we should grant to thinking a task opposite the one given to it by Enlightenment philosophy: to fragment the world according to difference instead of universalizing through the same; to induce the same through difference, instead of deducing difference from the same. A new world-historical thinking has to emerge in the face of the meltdown of the world.

this is not all that removed from Patchwork, with the caveat being that MM does not think it is possible to solve for existential plight through corporatizing the state and making citizens shareholders in sovcorps. Land, i think, does feel this way, and that is what leads to the world of r/acc, which is far and away the most interesting form of /acc to think about. Land is pushing hard - about as hard as anyone ever has - for Hypermodernity Uber Alles, and his BTC book is going to cap off a pretty illustrious career to that end. it is, in a sense, absolutely legalistic in its perspective on the human condition. i'm skeptical about how applicable it would be IRL, but in terms of making a contribution to philosophy and incubating whatever other ideas will follow from it, it has no peer.

YH's Cosmotechnics has a patchwork dimension in it, and it does seem to me that in that there is some really interesting correspondence between old-fashioned Marxist-political thought and new-school Marxist-political thought. ultimately i think the real paradigm shift or Great Filter will have to take the form of a kind of referendum on Marxist *and counter-Marxist* politics themselves, that we can begun to grasp the meaning of political life as being something other than it was understood in the 20C, because the rules have changed, and people have to change with them. what they cannot change they will be doomed to repeat. and it doesn't look like that change is going to happen without tremendous resistance from all sides. Land's hypermodernity chainsaws postmodernity, but postmodernity in turn can still press all kinds of self-destruct buttons if it likes. there has to be an unironic paradigm shift. has to be. otherwise it's all just going to go to shit.

so the DS lecture is completely brilliant, insta-OP material.

"well done"

is there more evidence needed than the Cold War?

anyways, you guys gotta check out the new UF/BTC material. Land is writing the greatest work of continental philosophy since Anti-Oedipus, imho. it's happening in real time. there is one and only one Uncle Nick and he is on fire like the hands of an acrobat.
