I think Land does try to ride on certain ideological currents but seems to otherwise be genuine in his beliefs. Compare him to a certain Canadian psychologist, who, will connect to any person that isn't too fringe, and more importantly, connect to the type of person that will futher popularize him. Land doesn't seem to be into podcasts that much tho, but he seems to have more intellectual integrity as Peterson, who just modifies his ideology to connect to more people.
This is the power of accelerated schizotypy.

Write some cool shit and talk about how capitalism is, like, inevitable, man.

In Land's own view, it's silly to try to change things, because it's already too late to succeed in doing so. He's just enjoying the ride.

Do you think he just enjoys the cool shit and it is all a performance, or is it that he honestly believes it but also just wants to make it sound cool? I think all those drugs changed his brain chemistry so that he both believes it, but his schizotypy drives him to make it cool like he did with meltdown.

He has a very tiny soul and cannot fathom a world outside historical materialism.

In short he is english.

He 100% does not have schizotypy. t. someone on that spectrum.

He self-induced amphetamine psychosis while at Warwick but he seems to have recovered from it.

So Land focuses on understanding society from a non-human, cold perspective (= the outside?). Can you suggest some other thinkers who do that?

It seems here, and it could be wrong, that schizotypy is confused for schizophrenia. They are not the same, and schizotypy comes in both maladaptive and adaptive forms.
I know schizotypy when I see it. Land is high fitness schizotypy.
