Land is a CIA construct

>>16112756
Toronto u

Wasn't he smuggled back from the future with a bachelor's in hand?

>>16112753
ask yourself why u want to know this first

not essex?

>>16112796
so I know if he's a pseud ofc :)

Doesn't matter, it's most likely that he skipped all classes to read Hegel and Lovecraft while high.

>>16112811
you need verification from a learning institute for him as a person to be smart without just reading him and comprehending it?

>Land was a lecturer in Continental Philosophy at the University of Warwick from 1987 until his resignation in 1998

funny that there's no mention of nick land anywhere on their website.

>It is quite something to discover, a quarter of a century too late, that your old PhD supervisor is satan. I was a 24-year-old research student at Warwick when I met Nick Land. He was just four years older and brilliant, if remarkably immature even by my twenty-something standards

>Nick was not cut out for teaching. When I knocked on his office door there would be a frantic clatter as he hid his dope-smoking paraphernalia, and a breathless squeak of “Who is it?” He was stoned and his office stunk

Shows how dumb they are considering that Land is the new Schopenhauer.

"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

bravo, Nicky Boy

>>16112832
and now i'm triggered

>>16112753
what does he do for money anyway?

>>16112827
I mean he’s gone now. Why would they bother having old lecturers listed?

>>16114824
I have seen this posted a lot I will now read all of Land in order to find it

>>16112753
i wouldnt be surprised if it was warwick as well. warwick has one of the best philo programs in the uk

>>16112827
and trust me they and their students remember him

he deserves a better backstory

>>16112753
Obviously Nick Land's education was hyperstitional, what a silly question.
The university at which he was taught is still bringing itself into being for this purpose.

>>16116997
Nice cope Nick

>>16116997
The Thirst for Annihilation (chapter 'Easter')

>>16115292
write travel guides and other expat journalism for China

>>16117036
He did his PhD at Essex though.

>>16118174
hi nick.

go back.

>>16118174
link to his PhD?

Fuck off pseud.

>>16112819
He hates Hegel

Internet/chan culture ravaged him completely, as it did for so many of us. Ever since he left xenosystems for twitter he hasn't said anything really interesting or thought provoking that couldn't have been said by one of the other accelerationist larpers on there. I don't even think he's capable of long form writing anymore. He certainly wouldn't be able to produce another Meltdown today, or even another Fanged Noumena

You've not read his work on Bitcoin then?

>>16115292

Some say he's an assassin...

>>16119075
It's called "Heidegger's 'Die Sprache im Gedicht' and the cultivation of the grapheme" but isn't available as far as I'm aware. Some anon once posted they borrowed a microfilm copy of it but the quality was too bad to copy it (?), though the other day an anon posted about it and hinted that it might surface soon (maybe just trolling but I hope not).
