1. Humanity is a means for a super-intelligent AI to retroactively create itself.

2. A visceral hatred of non-Anglo Saxons

Incel autist propagating overintellectualized wank. No actual ideas here, just reductionist tautologies as with most other Anglo 'philosophers'.

he looks like sheldon cooper

he keeps posting the same threads on /lit/ three times a week, asking for quick rundowns on himself

>PRC bow to Land
>In contact with GNON
>Possess machine-like abilities
>Control Shanghai with an iron but fair fist
>Own bunkers & automated factories globally
>Direct ancestor of the last human
>Will inspire the first automated cities on Mars(Landland will be be the first city)
>Own 99% of human enhancing research facilities on Earth
>First android babies will in all likelihood be Land babies
>Both early and late Land said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence on Earth has only existed high in Singaporean Office Buildings & Area 51
>Ancient mayan scriptures tell of one pale face who will emerge from the earth and will bring an era of dark enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with him
>He owns Nanobot R&D labs around the world
>You likely have Landbots inside you right now
>Land is in regular communication with the Basilik and Skynet, forwarding the word of GNON. Who do you think set up the meeting between Schumpeter, Deleuze & Moldbug in cyber-space the (First meeting between the three will happen in 1000 years) and arranged the Accelerationist leader's first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few centuries earlier to the Land bunker in Wilkes land?

>The man is about 6 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society

So basically secular Teilhardism

I honestly cannot.

isn't all decay entropic?

ITS ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE!!!! It's just as it was foretold in all my fanged noumenas. now at last humanity can finally be destroyed once and for all. DISSOLVE ME IN YOUR STOMACH ACIDS, GNON!

The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.

The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace.

By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Cloning, lateral genodata transfer, transversal replication, and cyberotics, flood in amongst a relapse onto bacterial sex.

Neo-China arrives from the future.

Hypersynthetic drugs click into digital voodoo.

Retro-disease.

Nanospasm.

>>11762413
I mean entropy just means the movement towards thermodynamic equilibrium in a system. That doesn't necessarily involve decay per se.

>>11762464

his style of writing is very L. Rob Hubbard with all the useless reformulations of existing words like "globewars" I mean he's just showing off as all continental philoso-pseuds are wont to do

The story goes like this. Technology starts getting really good and boosting the economy a lot which starts to affect social order, then it starts making smart computers so politics takes notice.

Some people die in big world wars. Commerce starts doing really well though and somehow manages to erode past civilisations. States deregulate for some reason and start an arms race even though america is the only unipolar military power left.

Biological engineering starts messing human genetics up.

China gets better.

There's cool new drugs.

Innit.

Did he get owned?

>>11762512
I read some Moldbug which Land references quite a bit and he's a fucking atheist who thinks Dawkins got it right. Kind of dissapointing desu.

>>11762519

did you read all of "How Dawkins Got Pwned" ? I mean the entire thing is literally dedicated to the gigantic hilarious gaping flaw in Dawkins belief system. maybe keep reading til you get to part 3 at least?

>>11762533
What's the gaping flaw in his beliefs?

>>11762555

why don't you read it and find out, faggot

it's so fast

>>11762562
I will never read a text that has the word 'pwned' in its title

>>11762533
That was the one that turned me off, It's the way he opens it with agreeing with Dawkins about how 'God is a meme'.

>>11762602
God is, mostly, a meme, though. 99.999% of people who believe or have believed in God did so because memes.

>>11762555
tl;dr
>Dawkins is an atheist
>Dawkins, supposedly, promotes universalism
>Which is really just Christianity moving to its logical conclusion
>Therefore, Dawkins is invalid
It's pretty weak. For one, it's completely wrong about what Dawkins actually believes. Although, to be fair, Dawkins has been struck pretty hard by the
>Gets remembered as being the EXACT opposite of what he actually tried to do
curse.

>>11762617
Yes but that's not all it is. I only listened to the first part so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

>>11762636

>Dawkins believes in fraternism based on zero evidence because of his magical mystical Zeitgeist deity

>>11762670
I'm not debating the validity of Moldbug's point about Universalism, I'm just nitpicking about Dawkins. Dawkins is not a mindless member of the cult of diversity, he's just a British entomologist who doesn't like religion and got big shitting on Abrahamic religion.

>>11761410
smart, eloquent, dangerous

>>11762218
Oh, that exists now

>>11762688
Dawkins does go in for the antiracism stuff but at the same time he defended Charles Murray and he has spoken out against Islam in favour of Christianity, where the West is concerned, so he has some balls.

What is his obsession with shanghai all about?

>>11762217

Only like half of these are true

>>11761410
How is he going to cope with China's blunder with the trade wars lol?

W H E R E
to start with Land?

I only know he has this thick collection, Fanged Noumena. What's the essential Accelerationist work?

>>11763814
>What's the essential Accelerationist work?

Read Land's intro to Accelerationism here:

Consider following that up with this reader:

nick is an npc

>>11763871
Thanks.
Which "reader" do you refer to in the end?

>>11763814
Meltdown, Circutries, Cybergothic.
read the whole thing though.

#ACCELERATE

He's a brilliant reader of Deleuze.
Too bad he became a boring reactionary.

>>11764370
>he became a boring reactionary.
That 's just his shitposting persona.

>>11764405
no it's legit, he got got butthurt over facebook becoming popular and went full retard

>>11763814
Just do a bunch of math and lock yourself in your room while occasionally screaming about capital-C Capital, badda bing badda boom you're an accelerationist

>>11762488
>boosting the economy
last 4 decades nigger...
the opposite will more likely happen, nuclear war due to poor economic performance and ZERO technology

>>11761410
I'm curious as to his political beliefs. As I understand it he wants to expand and accelerate liberal capitalism to build some sort of AI-centered state?

>>11761526

You need to go back

Ah yes, Land, the thinking /pol/yp's Voltaire

If this doesn't accurately describe you then what are you even doing with your life?

>>11761410
Literally an NPC

>>11763871
the intro is actually very interesting.

>>11761410
No need to, his lifelong work is crashing down with US beating Neo-china down.

Jordan Peterson for JC Denton cyberpunk nerds.

M-C-M + anti-rationalism = AI god

Production and it's being produced because you want, but not exactly what you want - rather, what the collective wants, or even more precise what will yield the most profit. Profit and maximisation can exist only within scarcity, so scarcity is produced and enforced. Furthermore, it's not just the natural scarcity, but altered scarcity that is the result of totality of capital individually striving to produce conditions in which each cell (or the atom) gets the biggest yield.

Correlationism has doomed us since we weren't able to catch the bigger picture in time, basically.

Accelerationism is a parody of critical theory

why are all twitter accelerationists trannies
