>Thank you for the Junger references again - btw love that image you posted.
you're most welcome. Junger is a personal hero of mine, and about as shining an example of a role-model as one could possibly ask for. the entirety of The Forest Passage is worth reading.

>Only a miracle can save us from such whirlpools. This miracle has happened, even countless times, when a man stepped out of the lifeless prisons to extend a helping hand to others. This has happened even in prisons, indeed especially there. Whatever the situation, whoever the other, the individual can become this fellow human being - and thereby reveal his native nobility. The origins of aristocracy lay in giving protection, protection from the threat of monsters and demons. This is the hallmark of nobility, and it still shines today in the guard who secretly slips a piece of bread to a prisoner. This cannot be lost, and on this the world subsists. These are the sacrifices on which it rests.

>Were you on a group called ETF some time ago on Facebook by any chance? A lot of the discussion we are making here was made (in meme form) in that group, mostly by referring to Futurist thinkers like Marinetti - they were the first to my knowledge to theorize (aesthetically) a weird form of accelarationist mysticism which could have some space in this discussion.

nope. but acceleration has its roots everywhere, not only in Land. Italian Futurism is based clean out of the game, and it too - rather like NRx, really - winds up only in a *debased* form when it gets turned into politics. Marinetti is cool, in his way, even Evola too. there are hardened Evola-anons on this board, and i'm not one of them. my form of Révolte Contre le Monde Moderne takes a very different form, but again...this is all a very open-source kind of discussion.

>Why should we look behind us if we want to tear down the mysterious doors of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute because we have already created the eternal omnipresent speed.
nailed it

>I feel that Marinetti's poetics was already laying down some of the lines we are exploring here. All those ramblings about speed are not just ramblings about speed, really - there is much more in that speed, as acceleration of world processes, allows for the first time to see things that were invisible before - the character of process becomes clearer, and process can be understood not as mere dualistic opposition but as a monistic, rational, pattern-driven development directed toward some end. For instance, we may be witnessing intelligence as an emergent feature of a self-organizing system for the first time

as Sulik says, you got it fren
>also, how dare you refer to Sulik as an NPC, filename generator. Sulik was no NPC

>This is such an interesting way of seeing all this.
no kidding...
