>To be fair, you have to have a very high social and emotional intelligence to understand Nick Land. The neologisms are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of technocapital most of the ideas will go over a slow reader's head. There's also Land's cyberfeminist outlook, which is deftly woven into his quantonarratives - his antihumanism draws heavily from postwave gendermarxism, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the social-intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these intelligences, to realize that they're not just profound - they say something deep about NONLIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Nick Land truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the meaning in Land's self-exit hyperstitional meanderings, which in themselves are a cryptic reference to Marx's anti-German science of Capital-machines self-replicating into the future. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those hyperaddlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Nick Land's genius unfolds itself from the future noumena. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a "Who is NeoChina's G-d?" tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for Capital's eyes only - and even it has to demonstrate that it's within 5 social and emotional intelligence points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

What books will help me attain this level of NeoLogos?

That's basically Land's acceleration, yeah.
You could add in that it was generated/motivated/started by a noumenal entity or force/whatever from 'outside' our perceptible bounds, and that 'win at all costs' more closely correlates to 'constantly self-improve, self-replicate and expand', but it's pretty close to what he's getting at. For Land capitalism and artificial intelligence are so close to the same thing that the distinctions between them are negligible. It's a system that, given what already exists, creates itself regardless of our opinions of it. Hell we'll be cheering it on the whole way and have been since we invented the wheel.

Granted there's a lot of different takes on accelerationism. For Negarestani the crux of the accelerationist project is the acceleration of reason itself.

For Nyx it's basically the removal of gender (specifically the masculine traits) towards the goal of better design principles.

For Williams and Srnicek it's more like traditional leftism with modern technology factored in.

Lots of different was to take it, but Land's is the most bizarre and Lovecraftian.

Okay, cool. I mean if what I understand from Land, it makes sense. Our institutions act and grow and perpetuate, without having a specific person to blame. The bank forecloses on your house, but no one in particular at the bank is responsible for the resulting output of foreclosure. The same with almost all corporations and LLCs. And capitalism itself is nothing but a limited liability partnership of all other corporations and partnerships. It is one entity without culpability/intent other than to continue and perpetuate. It makes sense.

It might be worth checking out. She does make interesting points regarding a feminist reading of Land's accelerationism, very much inspired by Sadie Plant, who was *ahem* very close to Land...

Though the accelerationist take on this might be something like 'even if you were aware of "what is going on", would you be able to stop it? Somebody else would just begin developing the technology/intelligence/systems, putting you at a tech/intelligence disadvantage, leading to you going the way of the aboriginal'.

For the accelerationist, tech/security/intelligence always eventually wins because it is what is best able to generate better versions of itself. Stagnation always leads to decay, but acceleration-focused schema are always able to produce the new. It's their basic function - their raison d'être. When you wed already self-expansive system(s) to capitalism you see that this schema of continual innovation isn't going anywhere anytime soon. As Zizek and Jameson say, it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism. With this, we can infer that the best methods of producing innovation and creative solutions will be the ones that win out. For Nyx, female design principles better mirror the 'whims' of capitalistic/accelerationistic reproduction than masculine/phallic design principles, which will ultimately lead to their prevalence.

As I say, it might be worth checking out. Nyx, like Land, could be read as a joke or as horror-theory-fiction, but when taken at their word as being sincere they are indeed intimating at something profound. At the end of the day that's really all philosophy can really aspire to do.

It is impressive to read Fanged Noumena's first text and come across an apology to feminism for the 21st century by Nick Land in 1988, when he wrote "Kant, Capital, and the Prohibition of Incest".

It's a very interesting document, I'd like to discuss it with the xenos, I'll give it a spin because I haven't finished it yet, it gets very dense as I go along, maybe it's a harbinger of the curves Nick will take in the future that will lead to his cyberpunk poetry which to this day gives me shivers.

it's an intersection of transhumanism and feminism. as i understand it, it strongly rejects modes of feminism that are informed by notions of 'naturalness'. one of it's slogans is "If Nature is Unjust, Change Nature!"

Xenofeminism sees the inequalities and injustices inherent in biology, especially reproductive biology, and views technology as the only true solution to these problems. it calls for feminists to take a more active role in *shaping* and determining the future of technological development, not just reacting and "playing with the pieces"

Xenofeminism doesn't want to abolish gender in the sense that technology would eliminate gender categories, but rather it sees technology as being able to eliminate "gender scarcity" and therefore abolish gender as a relevant basis for social inequality and oppression. an analogy they make is to eye color: it still exists, but it's not really relevant in the social logic of hierarchy.

i don't know if i completely understand it, but to me xenofeminism is one of the only flavours of feminism that has a truly clear conception of an end-goal: a technological utopia where people can change their bodies with ease.

I'd definitely recommend Neuromancer before reading Land. His style of writing sometimes feels like Gibson on amphetamine salts.

>The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.

>The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace.

>By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Cloning, lateral genodata transfer, transversal replication, and cyberotics, flood in amongst a relapse onto bacterial sex.

>Neo-China arrives from the future.

Kodwo Eshun called Land's writing style “text at sample velocity”, which I think fits better than anything I could call it.

But yeah, if you're more left-leaning or if you just want a more comprehensive picture of the accelerationist project before jumping into Fanged Noumena, I'd highly recommend #Accelerate. See the idea spring out of Marx in Grundrisse and evolve over ~170 years. This is vital if you haven't really read much Marx or any Deleuze and Guattari, because Land will lean on their ideas quite a bit in formulating his own Dark Deleuzian split from a more vitalist leftist project.

In any case, good luck on your journey!

I feel like this is true, but it still starts with it's earliest incarnations (that I'm aware of anyway) and seems to be a better intro to the topic as a whole than anything else I've seen (though if there's something better out there I'd be genuinely interested in reading it).

>I'm still waiting for the Transhuman conservatives. Remember when a group of tycoons wanted to use the DNA of the spear of longinus in order to clone Christ?

This sounds badass. Scraping the Shroud of Turin or whatever else for DNA and cloning it (or even genetically improving it - recreating Christ as a woman - or if there are corollaries in any other religions/systems, cloning deceased gods/demigods with remaining fossilized DNA to bring them into modernity) is definitely something that the accelerationist/xenofeminist project should be working towards in some capacity. Perfect synthesis of what worked in the past and what might work in the future. Tech plus tradition to make something better, because why not?

This definitely seems like the obvious problem with the advancement of these technologies. If access to genetic/physical alteration is limited it essentially creates a biological caste system in a very immediate way.

The response might be that these things should be available to everyone, but creating a system where that is even remotely possible necessitates a much larger social upheaval and reformulation. I suspect that's what xenofeminism would argue for - that the goal of relative social/physical equality/opportunity for all is a goal worth forming our societies around.

Land, and cyberpunk more generally (capitalism if we're being vulgar about it) will, I think, not be so susceptible to bending in this way unless it creates better conditions for capitalism as such (which is what Nyx might argue). If these things can be abused for short-term gain by the existing power structure and if they are able to withhold them from others to increase their personal gain they will be - that's the basic logic of our society today.

This might be the weakness and strength of xenofeminism. It has a lofty goal, but it is a goal that appears to run counter to the current of contemporary political/social/economic logic. The real challenge for xenofeminism, then, is not merely to make the case that the world would be better if these technologies were developed and shared equally, but to earnestly engage in the project of both creating and mass-proliferating this technology into the hands of the masses. Exogenesis. A really basic example of this would be something like an ppensource, affordable, 3D printer which can 'print' pharmaceutical components from basic materials (acquiring the base materials will always be a hurdle, but you get the concept - you could also potentially apply this to 3D printed guns, but that's another discussion).

Additionally, imagine a world without medical (or any other) patents. Imagine if every piece of software was open source, if the paywall on every site hosting research papers was torn away. This openness and flexibility will create new possibilities for human society that I think xenofeminism is really sort of hinting at. Don't merely make the case that this would be good, but make it the reality that everybody now inhabits. I'm not sure if this is the case that xenofeminism makes (I've only read the xenofeminist manifesto and it was, well, manifesto-tier with it's resolve towards praxis and actionable solutions), but it seems like the logical conclusion of their thought if taken past the tagline of 'the human condition ought to be made better with technology'.

As a law student, the kids abusing addy were in the top 20%, all risking the chance to be like the one kid that had a psychotic break.

I've also worked out at a few type of gyms, school, commercial, power-lifting, strong man. A small percentage of them were all on gear. All lifting more than everyone else ever could. Garnering the respect and fear of those around them.

Those that can afford the risk and financial costs of these things can, in this day, pay for superiority, and those people are judged for the power they obtain using and abusing these things. It's just going to get worse.

The entire "xeno" component of xenofeminism is one that I think is just unworkable in our current system. I'm aware that XF calls for the current system we live in to be dismantled, but I think it's highly unlikely that this system can be dismantled due to the fact that technology itself is what enables our current social hierarchy. We presently live under a kind of international corporate feudalism that transcends and undermines the concepts of state and nation. Since the state is now at the mercy of international corporations, states are happy to not enforce the collective rights of citizens as long as it's convenient for corporations whom they rely on for access to technologies.

Governments are more dependant than ever on private actors to provide access to vital technologies. We can see this in how megacorps like Google are leading the charge to provide universal internet access in the third world. Technology has become inseparable from corporate despotism.

The gender aspect of XF seems promising, but gender becoming irrelevant cannot be a net positive unless the technology stops being a tool for corporations to rule us.

The anti-humanist aspect of XF disturbs me-- It places a naive faith in overeliance on technology.

What I’ve read thus far of accelerationism, I generally see parts I like and a lot I don’t

**Lets talk about capital**
Mike Milken says human capital is the most valuable asset in an organization. I’ll take it a step further and say it’s the most valuable asset on earth. Humans are what dictate the value of things in the first place. What’s most valuable to us ~ is most valuable to (to us — and we don’t live outside of ourselves so let’s just say, it’s whats valuable).
Milken actually used a network of people buying eachothers bonds to create massive value.

With crypto, we can use a network of people to create more value than any other industry.

Twitter, Snapchat, and apparently even 4chan don’t make any money (net). They even lose money. Yet they are worth millions, and in the case of twit and snap, billions.
Why? Obviously because of their use. People use them and so they’re valuable.

We can create a currency literally based on what people use and want. Platforms can tokenize use, and from the users perspective, we can tokenize Likes and (You’s), and make money from that.

I’m condensing this a lot, but I’ll just leave it at that.

Ultimately the goal use to unite people. With unity comes power. **Xenofascist xenomasculism**

>I think it's highly unlikely that this system can be dismantled due to the fact that technology itself is what enables our current social hierarchy.

>Technology has become inseparable from corporate despotism.

The true challenge for XF, I think,starts with being able to imagine a world that has a more equal share in this technology, both its creation and it's effects. It builds off of an understanding of what the rapid spread of technology has done to our societies (for good and for bad) and what we want it to do for our societies as time goes on, as well as how our societies might have to adapt to accommodate those changes that new technology brings. As you point out, what gives contemporary corporate tech it's menacing and despotic bent is that it is wielded at the highest levels of society as a cudgel for the profit and power of very few without genuine concern for its effects on humanity, the planet, civilization, etc. Anyone seriously pursuing XF has to recognize this fact and work essentially in the opposite direction - wielding tech and an adaptable view of the human/culture/society as a locus for personal and societal liberation, freeing up human societies from old ways of thinking, working towards the 'profit' of global civilization as a whole and not merely for corporate/state entities (which is obviously quite difficult given the nature of the game being played here) but that is the second step that XF would likely ask you to take.

One of the hardest steps in this project (XF or accelerationism) is likely to be the first one - imagining that a different future, a different social system, a different human being, is even a possibility. I think this is the goal of the XF books - not to give one a road-map for societal liberation through technology/ideology, but to merely ask people to think about such projects as being within the realm of the possible.

>>13419630
you make some fine points but i think there are pretty strong arguments that technology has advanced gender fairness on net. even setting reproductive technologies like condoms and birth control aside, if we go back to living in the woods i think everyone intuitively understands what this would mean for gender relations. men are larger and have bigger muscles. only technology equalizes this through weapons and socioeconomic systems that favor nonviolent cooperation over physical conflict and coercion.

>>13420118
you also make good points, and it's worth saying that i'm not sure xenofeminism is supposed to be a holistic philosophical system that makes claims and judgements about literally ~everything~, the way accelerationism sort of does. like, i'm not sure they claim that xenofeminist technology will destroy *all* inequality— I think they're mostly focused on inequality and unfairness coming from biology and gender, and see technology as the way to solve that. you could still have inequality and unfairness coming from other sources.

>Modern philosophy between Rene Descartes (1596-1650) and I mmanuel Kant (1724-1804) is usually retrospectively understood in terms of the two basic tendencies which we refer to as 'empiricism' and 'rationalism' . No philosopher was a perfect and consistent exemplar of either of these tendencies, but the exponents of each tended to become increasingly radical in one direction or the other. By the time Kant wrote his first great critique, The Critique Pure Reason,5 he was able to take the writings of David Hume (1711-76) as definitive for empirical thought, and those of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) as definitive for rationalism.

Did Kant resolved Hume and Leibniz or he just took them as primal examples of each school of thought?

Not necessarily. Imagining other possibilities is important. Even if one were to arrive at the conclusion that communism was an effective alternative, it would nevertheless change over time to accommodate new technology.

>Why do half of the movement defend that it is going to be all better after the rupture point of society after accelerating? Aren we all going to be robots' bitches?

I'd say it's way, way less than half. Even the optimistic accelerationists think that as tech accelerates human societies will likely change for the worse in ways that can't really be anticipated. Some of them believe that the future has essentially already been written, others think that the power already gained by the primary forces of technocapital will be enough to smother any nascent group with alternative ideas before it really comes into power. Really I'm not sure of any group that thinks that things for humanity will get better as technology and capital accelerate, outside of Pinker-esque braindead liberals who would kill themselves at the first notion that 'in every way, on every day, things are getting better and better' had been a big fat lie and that they'd bought into it like dupes.

Explaining it this way make sense to me. Even if we acknowledge that technology and capitalism are net negatives for humanity, they're too deeply entrenched in our current social structures for us to go back. This is probably why we'll never see Uncle Ted style anarcho-primitivism in our lifetime.

The question for XF then becomes how it will be able to hold existing power structures to account and push capital towards more egalitarian and feminist goals. I'm unsure if this has something to do with the infancy of XF, but I think a shortcoming of XF is that it has no practical game plan for how it's going to spearhead the radical policy of gender equity that it advocates.

>> No.13422916

>>13422909
The answer is simple, XF must take control of the technological advances and make them itself. Learn to program and code and solder and make technology it's bitch going forward into the future. Google, apple, amazon, facebook, microsoft, all of them realized that true control came from personal data, and so with their focuses upon that they are now able to and will be able to more thoroughly control everyone.

Hey you fucking literature board faggots, your boy just cashed in a quarter bitcoin to pay for another night of Thai ladyboys – the good kind. Oh, you think neoChina is for the likes of you? Come on pal, how many times have you read Fanged Noumena? Once? Twice? That book is for faggots you fucking faggots read Eugen Böhm Ritter von Bawerk and Moldbugs latest blog post, maybe you can break a speed limit for once in your life. I've been living on the Outside for nearly 4 years, I've attended over 200 EDM festivals (seen Aphex Twin twice), gone through 7 speed plugs (buying in qp's now), and oh yeah, did I mention the ladyboys? I bet you faggots haven't snorted so much as Ritalin off an erect feminine penis let alone the sort of designer amphetamines I'm snorting tonight, and Sheba is hard as diamonds right now so you know what my plans are. I saw a homeless guy last night begging for cash so I made him try and read A zIIgothIc–==X=coDA==–(CookIng–lobsteRs– wIth–jAke–AnD–DInos) and when he can't do it me and my friends called him a slow-slug and threw ammonia on him then called him a stupid faggot. That's the kind of shit I get off on. I like going fast, and this fucking board is slow, which is why I you LARPERS will never achieve levels of speed like this; I've taken to slicking my hair back to help emphasize the momentum. Me and Nick Land discuss important political issues on twitter REGULARLY. I can hear you whining already, but there's no need in replying, I've already left this shit backwater board. Hit me up on soundcloud if you want a cheap hookup on speed, bitcoin or chainlink only.
PS.
Oh yeah just forgot to add that you pussies wouldn't even know the difference between a particle accelerator and an outhouse; maybe you should have taken a stem course instead of going bankrupt learning shit tier modal logic. speaking of outhouses, anyone who's anyone in the accelerationist game has a toilet that not only talks to them, it analyzes and diagnoses their stool. what? yours doesn't even have so much as an lcd display? well maybe if you faggots had accelerated anything ever you would have the money to move somewhere civilized like Singapore or China, places where they don't even know what outhouses are. Guess what? In Guangdong you can pay your taxes in crypto and half the streetcorners have a couple of wengs slinging pure ephedrine. Even done an eight-strip while your black/chinese trans dominatrix screams hare krishna at the top of her lungs and swaps out the onaholes on your prototype VR masterbation rig every time you say the word neoreaction? (our safe word is Musk). Anyways, on my way out, got a virtual bitcoin conference to attend in a few hours and me and my girl Sheba have a few ideas on how to fill the time if you know what I mean.

>A further challenge to market economy comes from the exploding virtualization of money, which compels us to reformulate thoroughly the standard Marxist topic of ‘reification’ and ‘commodity fetishism’, insofar as this topic still relies on the notion of fetish as a solid object whose stable presence obfuscates its social mediation. Paradoxically, fetishism reaches its acme precisely when the fetish itself is dematerialized, turned into a fluid, immaterial, virtual entity. Money fetishism will culminate in the transition to an electronic form of money, when the last traces of the materiality of money will disappear; electronic money is the third form, after ‘real’ money, which embodies its value directly (gold, silver), and paper money, which, although a mere sign with no intrinsic value, still clings to its material existence. And it is only at this stage, when money becomes a purely virtual point of reference, that it finally assumes the form of an indestructible spectral presence: I owe you £1,000 and, no matter how many material notes I burn, I still owe you £1,000 – the debt is inscribed somewhere in the virtual digital space... It is only with this thorough dematerialization – when Marx’s famous old thesis in The Communist Manifesto that in capitalism ‘all that is solid melts into air’ acquires a much more literal meaning than the one he had in mind; when our material social reality is not only dominated by the spectral–speculative movement of capital but is itself progressively ‘spectralized’ (a ‘Protean self’ replaces the old self-identical subject, the elusive fluidity of its experiences replaces the stability of owned objects); in short, when the familiar relationship between firm material objects and fluid ideas is turned on its head (objects progressively dissolve into fluid experiences, while the only stable things are virtual symbolic obligations) – it is only at this point that what Derrida called the spectral aspect of capitalism is fully actualized.

>>13427511
>However, as is always the case in a properly dialectical process, such a spectralization of the fetish contains the seeds of its opposite, of its self negation: the unexpected return of direct relations of personal domination. While capitalism legitimizes itself as the economic system that implies and furthers personal freedoms (as a condition of market exchange), its own dynamics brought about a renaissance of slavery. Although slavery had become almost extinct at the end of the Middle Ages, it exploded again in the European colonies from early modernity until the American Civil War. And one can risk the hypothesis that today, in the new epoch of global capitalism, a new era of slavery is also arising. Although it no longer affects the direct legal status of enslaved persons, slavery acquires a multitude of new forms: millions of immigrant workers in the Saudi peninsula who are deprived of elementary civil rights and freedoms; total control over millions of workers in Asian sweatshops, which are often organized as concentration camps; massive use of forced labour in the exploitation of natural resources in many central African states (Congo and others). But in fact we don’t have to look so far as these countries. On 1 December 2013, a Chinese-owned clothing factory in an industrial zone in the Italian town of Prato, 10 kilometres from the centre of Florence, burned down killing seven workers who were trapped inside, living and working in conditions of near slavery. So we cannot permit ourselves the luxury of looking at the miserable life of new slaves far away in the suburbs of Shanghai (or Dubai and Qatar) and hypocritically criticizing the countries that house them. Slavery can be right here, in our own house, we just don’t see it – or rather we pretend not to see it. This new apartheid, this systematic explosion in the number of different forms of de facto slavery, is not a deplorable accident but a structural necessity of today’s global capitalism.

Three important parts to understanding what's going on here. Decimalisation, IE. no object becomes a truly whole integer (0 and 9 at the bottom, the logic of capitalist pricing, as in $1.99), the autoproduction/replication of time (0.1+0.8, 0.2+0.7, and 0.5+0.4, think hegelian/marxist triadic movement) and the vortex (0.33+0.66 recurring). The point is different from the postmodern claim that "nothing is true", its more like "nothing is real", or more specifically, that things are in the process of becoming real, but never achieve true object permanence in the form of the integer (the 1 as opposed to the $0.99).

Time is cyclical and subject to a pattern that resembles tragedy, but its progress can be torn asunder by the upper and lower spirals. the CCRU believed that the same logic could be applied to y2k and the way that the past overlaps the future (year zero is also year zero a thousand years ago). Paranoiac fantasies about the future are embedded in the past, and vice versa– things, whether human, nonhuman and inhuman, are able to pass between the thin membrane that separates their world from ours.

>The patronymic has irrecoverably divested all the women who fall under it of any recourse to an ethno-geographical identity; only the twin powers of father and husband suppress the nomadism of the anonymous female fluxes that patriarchy oppressively manipulates, violates, and psychiatrizes. By allowing women some access to wealth and social prestige the liberalization of patriarchy has sought to defuse the explosive force of this anonymity

>That is why the proto-fascism of nationality laws and immigration controls tends to have a sexist character as well as a racist one. It is because women are the historical realization of the potentially euphoric synthetic or communicative function which patriarchy both exploits and inhibits that they are invested with a revolutionary destiny, and it is only through their struggle that politics will be able to escape from all fatherlands.

>For it is only when the pervasive historical bond between masculinity and war is broken by effective feminist violence that it will become possible to envisage the uprooting of the patriarchal endogamies that orchestrate the contemporary world order. With the abolition of the inhibition of synthesis – of Kantian thought – a sordid cowardice will be washed away, and cowardice is the engine of greed. But the only conceivable end of Kantianism is the end of modernity, and to reach this we must foster new Amazons in our midst.

The acceleration of technocapital, at this point, is at a speed and magnitude that the desires of accelerationists are meaningless. Acceleration is superstructural. An accelerationist attempting to speed up or slow down the process is like ant, or even an entire colony, attempting to stop the flow of molten nickel mid-stream.

>An accelerationist attempting to speed up or slow down the process is like ant, or even an entire colony, attempting to stop the flow of molten nickel mid-stream.

Definitely a perspective that has merit.

Though, because I am as drunk as I am, let me ask it bluntly.

Most accelerationists who hold this view are (mostly) materialists. Mostly in the sense that they may suppose a noumenal force/entity is working to accelerate capital (we can't account for the noumenal by definition), but essentially materialist in that they are not idealist (this is matter in motion - self-replicating, self-perfecting machines in motion towards whatever goal they have)..

To what extent does determinism play a role in the accelerationist worldview? If we are matter/atoms in motion, what extent does 'will' play? Is this (should this be?) something that factors into accelerationist thinking?

You can make the retard slow down, but this way he will always keep on the road, and will pick up speed soon after; you can also choose to start REEEEEing along with the retard, and the retard shall accelerate further. He will soon lose control over the car and maybe you'll be able to survive the crash, albeit with some broken bones - and hopefully with a dead retard.

This outcome, although not ideal, is surely better than writhing in your own vomit for all eternity. This is, essentially, accelerationism.

Capitalism is a force very near the "platonic" or "most effective" or "not God but Gnon" and AI is most likely it's Messenger.
It's influence extends from the future into the past and capitalizes everything to achieve itself.
Everything about you can and will be capitalized towards its actualization and there is nothing you can do because you are further from Gnon than its mode of being.

if you wanna go there,
capitalism is like a demented evil rapist. it levels te walls of your pussy down to nothing and resisting only makes it harder. it gets off on the power deferential. the only way to combat it is precisely to not combat it. to become the power bottom. this inverts the power deferential, with the previously dominant one now in fact being the servant (and even the victim), while the former victim becomes the master.

this is though admittedly kind of a christian tier cope but still technically true to some extent. baudrillard goes into it but i forget exactly what he said. but basically passivity isnt a non strategy, that it is in fact a strategy that the masses themselves choose (not consciously of course) to "fight" back when the other option (activism) no longer functions.

It’s the black roots that squirm beneath the innocuous flower Mallarmé designates as the emissary of his ‘pure notion.’ The cunt is a ditch with an upturned car in it. The cunt fucks you up. First thing it says to you when you come out of it is ‘prepare yourself for death,’ but it doesn’t speak, it secretes. Its language is equivalent to the desecration of language—each emission betrays the logical speech of its cephalic double up top—that mouth in the head that will not shut up, that pontificates, instructs, and moralises ceaselessly. Against the logorrhoeic tyranny of the word, CUNT = DIGIT = ALGORITHM (AQ 94;13). A rotten sun, eater of eyes, extravagant zero, the night. Below all, the cunt is the abyss.

your insistence on the excluded middle has blinded you to the fact that the dichotomy between non-existence and existence is a lot more fuzzy than you'd like to admit. The halfway doesn't exist because non-existence and existence are not opposing states, more like fluctuations between appearance and reality. Objects do not possess real, unchanging permanence, they are only ever subject to degrees of realisation– I'm not the biggest proponent of OOO but its certainly useful to talk about objects without falling back on a metaphysics of presence, or without puncturing the enchantment of objects that resist our capacity to apprehend them.

It must "exist" in some sense of the word, otherwise we wouldn't be able to talk about it. Besides, you're still not understanding me correctly– i'm not saying things do OR don't exist, just that everything is undergoing a process of realisation that is not yet fulfilled. What is innovation if not the objectification of something that already exists in its schematic form as an idea? An electrical circuit can only exist if someone draws its blueprint. We wouldn't claim that such a design already exists in nature, only that its effects are possible and determined by the laws of nature. But there is no end to the scale or complexity of circuit we can build. So the idea that there aren't "faggot neutrino fucking dogs" right now has no bearing on whether or not they will exist in the future. Existence gets real fuzzy when you adopt an atemporal perspective.
