Smartest philosopher alive. Elevate humanity by destroying it. Neo-Reaction.

nick land is the x-games of philosophy, and accelerationism is a bankrupt concept meant for people who think good philosophy means being incoherent and contrarian

>One of the central figures of accelerationism is the British philosopher Nick Land, who taught at Warwick University in the 1990s, and then abruptly left academia.

nick land was exiled from academia because he had/has a cocaine problem and has not worked in the western world since.

>Karl Marx was the first accelerationist

christ almighty

>…in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

You mean he turned into Mussolini.

>Who is Nick Land?
An ex-left turned meme-right (before it was cool) European ex-academian living in China, who uses Kant/Marx/Deluze and wraps the idea of a god-like Capital (purposely conflated with a transcended notion of intelligences as such), into 90's cyberpunk ("what will the techno future look like?") ascetic. That's the cool part. The ugly part is that he's become a fulltime reactionary twitter witticist.

>What does he want?
We all want the good life for ourselfes. But he's a druggy, so who knows in his case.

>The fuck does NRx mean?
Neoreactionaries. Anti-democratics.
They and Nick Land only discovered each other at a later stage, but basically they just share some reactionary ideas and so are viewed and liked together.

Land is just an angry lefty at heart, while on the NRx side you find honest fascists.

Buying his books right away, based.

What do you need to read before starting Fanged Noumena?

Accelerationism is a fucking terrible ideology not based in reality. His ideas are just typical first worldism and not much else.

you're so fucking stupid. accelerationism is not supposed to be based in the present reality.

"Neo-China arrives from the future."
