>>9402232
Thanks!

>>9402248
organic brain disease?

>>9402253
It isn't meant to be profound, it's just funny if you know his personality.

I'mma need a quick rundown

>>9402267
>if you're autistic like him
fixed

>>9402202
Because he's literally right about everything and leaves me unsure if I should react in fear or embrace and facilitate his prophecies.

he's a nazi

>>9402263
Pretty sure his brain would look like swiss cheese on an MRI.

>>9402360
>literally

>>9402427
Correct

>>9402442
Literally?

>>9402450
Yes

>>9402202
This kind of shit just makes me realize that the people who idolize Land and NRx in general are internet addicts (mostly university nerds) who unironically care about A E S T H E T I C S. They care about the image and the "atmosphere" that NRx evokes. Just look at those NRx threads we had a month or so back, full of tumblr gifs of dystopian futurist cities and the like. They also romanticize mental illness, in particular schizophrenia. Honestly just a phase they'll grow out of when they move out of their parents' and get a job.

>>9402459
What makes you literally certain?

>>9402487
Just watch kiddo. All will be revealed soon.

>>9402202
Nick Land has kids?

>>9402479
Aesthetics are everything, anon. Even ethics are merely a subcategory of it.

nick using "kek" more than once over the past few days has been one of life's greatest disappointments

>>9402512
Literally?

>>9402541
>Nick Land will never be your dad
>he will never read Fanged Noumena to you before bedtime and play 90s jungle on long family road trips
>tfw

>>9402574
?

He has always been on the forefront of memetic research dude, the CRUU was literally a giant 90's meme.

>>9402574
Nick has been a frogposter for longer than that:

Land is but a meat auxillary of the CCRU entity

>>9402418
Ebin

>>9402479
Not an argument.

>>9402479
It is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified

>>9402541
I was also surprised when I found out. I think he's married to Anna Greenspan

>>9402797
meme magic is just hyperstition for the 21st century

>>9402574
Ethnomasochism applied to an internet community. I wish there was a name for this.

Announcement that Fanged Noumena's back in print. Go support Nick so he can become independent and not let Nazis be mean to him all the time. :(

>>9403356
will i get clobbered by antifa for reading it on my commute?

>>9403444
Probably, yes. It is only for late at night, with a flashlight under the covers.

>>9402263
He took alot of acid and it warped em

/pol/ here

who is nick land, and would i like him?

>>9404176
shoo shoo

>>9404176
Stick to being a populist monkey, that's probably more your speed.

I swear we have had this thread before.

>>9404176
Ree! Ree! Get out normie!

>>9402479
I like Nick Land but not NRx. That's a feeling that a lot of the people who follow him hold.

>>9402546
B b but aesthetics are a subcategory of e e e ethics.

>>9403057
How can ice b real if mortals are reefer

I'm gonna need a QUICK rundown here

>>9402424
Who the fuck puts cheese in an MRI.

>>9404470
Deleuzian Marxist takes too many amphetamines while writing a book, has a psychotic break that lasts for months, the second half or his book becomes a cyberpunk meme.

This is it.

>>9404481
sounds interesting I guess. thanks.

>>9402546

Aesthetics are nothing.

>>9404560
Aesthetics are our prerogative, it's what makes us human. To discard aesthetics is equal to discarding ourselves. It is truly our prime mover.

>>9402479
Nice little pasta :^)

>>9404588

>my answer when people tell me to get an instagram or put up a profile picture on social media

>>9404588
>he doesn't know that art is revenge at life

>>9404176
/pol/ is idiot popularism, so no

>>9404666
>>9404588
>These old saints in the forest have not yet heard of it, that ART IS DEAD

>>9405156
>conflating the entire aesthetic experience to art appreciation

I guess you're not deep enough to "get" it

>>9405158
>art is dead but i can still powerlift while watching the sunset

>>9402479
Good post. The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life. All efforts to render politics aesthetic culminate in one thing: war.

>>9404176
you are like a little baby

>>9404481
he also taught continental philosophy at Warwick, was tweaked all the time, did crazy philosophical roleplaying thought experiments

>>9402479
Well
yeah

Nick Land is entry level
It's the new Cyberpunk

>>9405343
>continental philosophy
ugh
Spare me

>>9405226
Shut up Benjamin.

>>9404352
I would agree. I think what differentiates Land from most other nrxers, and makes him more interesting, is that his neo-feudal societal ideal isn't just a desirable outcome in its own right. For Land politics is a means to an end, that endpoint being his cyber-Lovecraftian vision.

>>9404588

Aesthetics are the excretions of the Mind.

Me and Nick land are among the few individuals to fully understand the implications of Deleuzean thought and achieve the BwO. It is no coincidence that we both went insane soon after. Six visits to the psych ward later after deterritorializing myself with hardcore psychedelics, I have now returned to the fold of Platonism. The ethics of difference, it would seem, end only in a padded cell or a coffin. For my mother's sake, I now adhere to virtue ethics. Kinda miss fucking bipolar scene sluts but then again that's probably how I ended up with HPV. I only hope my future wife can forgive me my immature philosophical infatuation.

>>9404665
>struggle of a nation

>>9402215
>HAHA MALAPROPISM

>>9402479
This is probably true but to discredit Land's ideas due to some of his followers is stupid. I'm not sure you have a grasp on his philosophy or where he is coming from if you judge his ideas based on what some autists on 4chan say, who themselves misrepresent Land all the time.

>>9402202

>>9405470
>nick land
>entry level
I don't think this is in any way possible to believe..
Upon the ideas of antiquity, on the casket of modernity, nick land with his ravenous presentation, with his absolute knowledge of all things prior, stands triumphant!
Honestly though, his work includes the readings of kant, nietzche, deleuze, bataille, hegel, etc.
To reference him as entry level revels far more about your understanding of philosophy than what it alludes to in regards to lands work.

>>9402479
To understand your comment as anything other than expressive misunderstanding would be considered dishonest. However, to humor the shallow, and to obstruct the base, I'll continue. What is in the caring of aesthetics that you find so pernicious? What is in reality that does not allow for the establishment and further execution of aesthetics in relation to itself? Mental illness in relation to what? Do you take yourself as correct? Is it only in reference to yourself that others are mentally incoherent? Have you looked at yourself lately? have you wondered what must be at work inside of you; what ignorant beast thought this comment was worth posting, I say, it was not one with reason.

>>9406854
Its continental philosophy m8

You can write literally anything and they'll find a way to connect it to Hegel and Kant.

>>9406881
How does the mentioning of continental philosophy in any way dispel what I've said?
Im not entirely sure of what your comment was meant to accomplish.
