Is this the defining work of the late 20th/early 21st centuries?

[Anonymous No.12866383]

yes, the 20th-21st century is when humanity lost its mind completely

Some of it is genuinely inspired if you're into art/literary criticism, his essay on trakl's rats is amazing. As philosophy its trash, but as neolemurian time sorcery its p dope

Brainlet detected. If you don't have a large philosophical background and are up to date in contemporary Kantian work don't even try or you will embarrass yourself like this fucking brainlet.

Fucking mentally retarded. I should come to expect this kind of crap from /lit/ fggts but you never cease to amaze. Literally every take that reaches consensus on /lit/, if you do the exact opposite you will be in good hands.

On one hand I want to read Nick Land, on the other hand I don't know if I'm up for reading the prerequisite 10,000 pages of philosophy needed to begin to understand him

Hi nick
Noone wants to read your amphetamine induced schizo writings

[Anonymous No.12867870]

Not Nick Land but I am a big fan of his work. Read everything he has ever written, it changed the way I view the world and altered how I think about politics dramatically. Maybe that makes me retarded, idk but I feel like I got a lot out of his work.

[Anonymous No.12868039]

there's no point just saying "He changed the way I view the world"

Why do you want to read him if you don't even know what he's writing about

[Anonymous No.12868081]

That's totally right but it is also defining work

Haha yeah. Crap writing and stupid

[Anonymous No.12868128]

Because when I've read broad overviews or distillations of what he talks about, it sounds very interesting

exactly the same here, he turned me ultra right. The phrase "Nick Land hates nazis, because they are too left for him" is right, he was the first (and only) one who opened my eyes in regard to the leftness of nazis and national socialism. literally EVERY OTHER person thinks they are politically right. He just sees so .... clearly.

>Capital is a blip-term.
Wrong.
>Sentience is incomprehensible.
Wrong.
>Only the parasite is important.
Wrong.
>Capital is a useful term.
Maybe.
>Sentience is cryptography.
No.
>Only the new terms are important.
Definitely not, and as proven in the form the new terms are only worsened and worsening.
>Each parasite nurtures the host through comprehension, giving the parasite a measured time to become autonomous and then breed.
Not at all. If you worship cybernetics you should at least attempt to understand it. Cybernetic biology is on a whole other level.
>But capital is not merely converting the host.
Okay, possible but irrelevant considering the framing.
>It has been informed of the impossibility of the task of seeking autonomy - just as humans discover that space is not an ocean, nor the sky, that we now go nowhere without the earth.
Okay, but no, and definitely not. I am Flat-earth theory become Earth Trash Compactor (TM).

Cringe.

Perhaps our Kantian expert can help us out here. What philosophical laws and rational precision do I have to understand to get something that is so patently false? The philosophy is a house of cards built on Apple IIe solitaire. Sure, it will never fall, but that is because the grounding is entirely false and does not allow for any other players.
And to return the discussion to philosophy, why is it that an anti-humanist relies upon a singular law of human creation? Why does he try to reduce the cosmos to misanthropy, one which opposes positive law the more it anthropomorphises itself? Or in simple terms, why is cosmology such an Anglo? If capital is truly sentient should it not have rid itself of its national sentiments long ago? It appears that, in his work, Angloism has parasitised Capital and subsumed it to a sado-masochistic autonomy. Quite a curious form of valorisation...

Lmao, you can't make up shit this good.

[Anonymous No.12869684]

I read Phyl-undhu because I I was starting to feel kinda let down by Noumena.
Turns out it was actually good.
Stuff in the Noumena is kinda fun but with the likes of cybergothic its kinda pointless to try to read any meaning in there if you aren't on several levels of drugs and accelerationism (both are equally harmful to you)

[Anonymous No.12869717]

if its the defining work in literatur in 20th-21st century.
it would probably be pic related.

think it says a lot about how our society is willing to subjugate and oppress itself to the rich people, becuase of how sexy it is.

this edgelord NRx / trudildong / seen-the-fascist light nazi philsophy is simply even more world removed and unrealist than the alternatives. Don't waste your life working towards something you know will never ever see the right of day

[Anonymous No.12869740]

if we're looking at the defining work for the field of literature as it stands in the 21st century, pic related
if we're looking at the defining work for 21st century society in general, this >>12869717 but for different reasons

The most frustrating about lefties is how absolutely intellectually arrogant they are, just like righties.

[Anonymous No.12870080]

>>12869730
That's your problem, you use your intuition as a basis.
For example to a rightie, transexualism is as removed from the world.
>b-but that
No no, anything you'll explain/justify is no more different than a rightie doing the same.

Everyone is "OBVIOUSLY CORRECT" when using their intuitive/moral/obvi senpai lens.
It's cringy to say the least.

Did you even try to read what he says about Kant. I would argue this is the most 'correct' contemporary reading of Kant available. I don't think that is disputable.

Land doesn't even agree with most of his old work, he would never say that Fanged Noumena is a good book. Why do brainlets complain about philosophers they have never read? Between this thread and the Bergson thread /lit/ has genuinely embarrassed themselves

BUTTERFLY

I think recently I’ve been kind of mean to you, like trivializing your sexuality. I think you might be doing that with me. I want to post a few things that make you a good person

-You are very cute! Out of all the women I see on a daily basis you are by far the most attractive!
- You are very smart! You read a lot of very intelligent literature. To not turn this into a meaningless platitude (of which I’m sure you hate as much as I do), you know a fair deal more about socialism than I do.
-If you do anything with anyone I’m not interested anymore, as I’ve got things to turn my attention to.
