This book is 100% right.

We need to stop attempting to spiritualize matter and instead recognize that Nature is an object in itself devoid of Telos so we can finally free Intelligibility from the erroneous concept of Meaning.

There is no essence, only the contingency of mere existence.

Eliminativist Materialism draws conclusions that modern science emphatically concurs with and enables us to shirk off the derelict systems of metaphysical compromise brought about by Kant and Dualists in general.

You cannot refute this.

A lot honestly. Nietzsche, Hegel, Bataille, Messailloux, Heidegger, Artaud, Deleuze, Badiou, etc. There are more I just dont remember atm.

That being said he does explain himself clearly, he doesn't just reference shit without saying what it is.

it's semi-ironic performative shitposting. Test the waters of extreme positions by asserting wildly in a persona of arrogant grandiosity, you can't know what you think about a position until you turn yourself into someone who would expound on it and then get torn down or confirmed in your beliefs by others. At least for mentally ill retards like myself that's how it works, I can't just chill and think about it alone.

i didn't understand the argument he puts in one of the first chapters, it went something like: we can learn things about the past before there were any humans around, therefore Kant is wrong

what did he mean by this? can somebody post the argument in a more correct form and explain it?

Materialism is retarded, the universe isn’t even made out of anything, it’s just a bunch of (imaginary) rules interacting. Skeptical idealism is the future.

People have asked him before and he hasn't given a satisfactory answer. Why care about anything if you're a hard reductive physicalist including his philosophy or Prometheism?
He's too special to associate with the speculative realists and thinks there's value, ironically, in Laruelle.
