Nick Land

[Anonymous No.12984318]

i'm thinking about getting this book
I've had some basic lessons in greek philosofy and i've read kafka and camus in my own free time
now for my question am I ready for this, i've read some basic notes on Nick Land and I am very intrigued by this man. what should I expect from this text. i've read some of his short stories so will this be in that genre or will it it be focused purely on his thinking?

it's because he's a self avowed hyper racist, meaning he wants humanity to be replaced with machines, minorities first. Fanged Noumena doesn't have anything about that in it, but if you read his other writings, then he'll tell you all about it

Not a very accurate take on Land. He expects artifical intelligence to kill off humanity unless dsygenics cause civilizational collapse first. He is an IQ type racist, not a 'fuck nonwhites', he lives in China ffs.

Nick Land is a bit of a dinosaur these days, but there's parts of fanged noumena which are incredibly nuanced. If you really want to get into him you're going to need to familiarise yourself with a lot of writers like Kant, Marx, Deleuze, Bataille, Burroughs, Lovecraft, etc.. it would also be productive to read the collected ccru writings to contextualise a lot of the stuff he's talking about. I wouldn't have been able to make head nor tails of all the weird numogram/tic systems/geotrauma stuff had I not familiarised myself with the CCRU collection (which is honestly a more compelling work of theory fiction than FN taken as a whole).

just a little bit of follow up rather than call you a moron, hyperracism will emerge out of transhuman projects, the idea is that the racism between races will be overshadowed by a new distinction along the lines of modified/non-modified. the upper classes will begin to bridge into a new species, or species (plural), and the the lower classes will stagnate in biological perpetuity

D&G&Derrida et a didn't actually write any philosophy. They're what Chomsky was taking about when he pointed out you can have syntactically correct sentences that have no meaning. Their works are Rosarch blots you can project whatever you want onto. If you're clever you can play the same game or at least play aong and hey ho, you're Zizek. Or some other "continental" philosophy academic.

Peterson was absolutely correct in his attitude and lack of erudition. You don't have to read anything they wrote or even be able to name five of them. All you need to see is the fruits of their labors: entire populations of insufferable childless women.

It's literally all they do. Years ago I was a committed leftist and dismissing other people and ideas with snarky quips, then repeating platitudes, was the only intellectual exercise we ever practiced. It's been honed to a high art form. Zizek is correct in his assessment of ideology as something people practice without realizing it. This process of self-righteous dismissal is wholly unconscious. Once you notice what you're doing, and see everyone around you is doing it too, it becomes utterly horrifying. I can see why Zizek gets bent out of his mind on speed before he does his public appearances, especially when he's sitting next to his colleagues. It's the only way you can have a conversation with these people without losing your mind.

Incidentally, all someone like Peterson ever needs to do to hand Zizek his ass in a debate is wait until the adderall is in full effect and the post nasal drip is making him sniffle thirty times a minute. When they're half an hour in and he's really out of his mind, rambling about Castro and Hitchcock and Derrira, just say "Hey. Slavoy. Are you high?" When he starts raving or trying to misdirect, you just bring it back: "You're on meth right now aren't you?" ... "Oh yeah. you totally are, look at that nasal drip. You're twitchy as fuck." Just keep bringing it up until Ziz has a breakdown.

Not something I want to happen: I like him a lot. But if someone wants to finish him in a debate, that's how to do it.
