>Calling girardfag a supporter of cosmopolitanism
You had better be high on a large number of levels of irony right now.

Did someone call me because they are trying to end civilisation as we know it?

Did someone call for me?

>What does it matter since we all die in the end
>Nothing worth noting
>Nick Land.

I want to hear about the audience pussy this mad man gets.

I am a member of the borg!

This guy.

Just read Nick Land famalam.

Here is a fresh thread in which we can all discuss the ideas and works of Nick Land and other philosophers who address similar issues.

I love how almost any thread can be turned into a Nick Land thread, if only the others would listen and take head.

Nick Land

Surprised that there don't seem to be any Nick Land threads up today. Figured I'd fix that and make a thread where we can all discuss his work and related ideas and philosophers.

>you should write the sequels

i'd blow it up from the ground floor and start all over again with smith as the hero who realizes that he's not human at all, which is why he's so fucked. might not even reveal the existence of the matrix itself until the end of part 1. but this is really just off the top of my head atm so don't quote me too heavily

>but sadly >>9763766 this guy is right in almost everything
no way jose. and neither is >>9763918.
he's/they're right about some of it, we're agreeing on the stupidity, but imho the stupidity of it derives from the wasted potential that was there in the balls-out first part. neo picking up the phone &c was really where the whole trilogy should have ended, not as lead-in into 2&3, where they had to introduce all of these secondary characters nobody cared about, play up the Chosen One narrative and so on. it's just all out of sync to my mind.

>more matrix backstory
>more smith
>less superman
>less retardedness

it's the one that got away. what is there is cool. and basically i'm just pining & wishing & memeing like a weenie. that's all.

agent smith did nothing wrong. he just didn't get a chance to tell his side of the story
>as a slow and glorious breakdown into madness which is not all that mad
>directed by nolan
>w/more baudrillard references and cynical terrorists trapped in their own games looking for The Truth
>more disaffected end-of-history outlaws peppering their dialogue with enigmatic quotes from baudrillard & nietzsche & debord &c and blasting each other away in a cyberpunk consumer hellscape
>where superheroes like neo are required to prop up failing orders of production they no longer believe in
>so sort of like moore/watchmen by way of the matrix
>hnng
>come on now
>game of drones
>w/ev

things failed hack writers think about.
>tfw hack
>tfw i'm okay with this tho
>tfw he loved big brother

full disclosure: i am a confirmed goofball.

pic rel. accelerando. transhumanism. cybernetic chic. defanged nietzscheanism. a very soft version of neo-objectivism. that would be my guess if things keep up along the current trajectory

Nick Land and his AI bots.

>Nagle’s definition of the alt-right phenomenon is helpfully expansive. For her, the movement is broader than white nationalists such as Richard Spencer. It encompasses the larger constellation of right-wing-populist, new-media phenoms such as Milo Yiannopolous and Lauren Southern, as well as neo-Reactionary thinkers such as Nick Land and “Mencius Moldbug.” And its culture was fed by the transgressive message boards of 4chan, the strange pickup-artist scene, and “South Park conservatives.”

Nagle is not the best, but the article itself was amusing and plus it talks about /lit/'s greatest hits including..

>Moldbug!
>Nick Land!
>Our boy Peterson!

Exactly, war is divine and this is why Sparta beat Athens. If you read Land's "Against Orthogonality" essay this makes complete sense.

This is not a drill, our guy Nick Land has started to make his way into mainstream media. Seems that people are really scared of him, which is a good thing, because they deserve his ideas being spread.

I'm putting together an ebook of Land "selected writings". So far this is what I've got:

>Old stuff

Meltdown, Machinic Desire, Shamanic Nietzsche, Circuitries, Art as Insurrection

>Old blog

Reality Rules (I haven't read most of the posts on the old blog, so if you have any recs that'd be great...the posts have been saved at oldnicksite.wordpress.com)

>xenosystems

Romantic Delusion, The Cult of Gnon, Re-accelerationism, Meta-Neocameralism, Science, War in Heaven I & II, Utilitarianism is Useless, What is Intelligence, IQ Shredders, Hell-Baked, Monkey Business, The Monkey Trap, Will-to-Think, Against Orthogonality, Abstract Horror & Exterminator

>jacobite
Atomization, Accelerationism

+ The Dark Enlightenment

What am I missing? I haven't read the book on Bataille, are there any bits that would make for a good excerpt?
