I tend to believe power is the only important thing and I have faith on trans humanism. Tell me if any of these are too ambitious and give me recommendations pls.

Ty frens.

no, they're from one of his essays in the accelerationist reader. definitely worth checking out. there used to be a link i'd use but it's giving me danger-warnings now. you can find the reader on libgen tho.

thanks for the post, i appreciate you digging into some of the complex stuff in it.

the world of trans/posthumanity is going to be interesting w/r/t a lot of this stuff also, maybe as we striate into different forms of machines and consciousnesses and the like. i'm not an academic, let alone a hegel scholar, so i mostly just enjoy speculating on a lot of this stuff. with land especially it's sometimes hard to tell what's science fiction and what isn't. but liberal capitalism is taking the reins right now. i kind of hope the world doesn't explode as a result, but us humans seem to have a fascination for combustion like that.

your post definitely has a lot to think about.

this is important also for sure. humanity isn't something left behind in Spirit, and yet, with capital, there is this increasingly germane question about what the standards are by which we measure the human.

land is this kind of 'dark idealist' in this way, which makes him pretty interesting. he's optimistic about that which seems to want to slough us off. no doubt hegel would resist that, but it's hard sometimes not to kind of join the Dark Side of the Force in this sense. acceleration is death to postmodernity, but it's a case of solving our problems with bigger problems also.

to some degree you're not wrong about the presence of a hermetic seal.

>Hope you've enjoyed some of your day.
it's actually been pretty great. land threads always cheer me up. thanks for contributing to the thread all the same. may that bottle of champagne find you.

the accelerationist reader mentioned above is pretty good for land threads.

Basically, Christian transhumanism. Except without the easy division into -

>See, you shouldn't have stolen the fire/Prometheanism
or
>Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds, feels good man
