I was afraid to read Nick Land because I thought it might turn me into a blue pilled xenofeminist leftist but I keep seeing whiny leftists call him a cryptofascist and a nazi?

What is his deal, /lit/???

Nick got fat and bald.

I've read pretty difficult philosophers before and I have never understood a single fucking sentence written by Land except those in his essay about losing his mind from amphetamines and scaring his sister.

Land only supposed that humanity is doomed through the use of universal logos, that intelligence (a being itself, non-material) is an active force moving the Universe from simple forms of entropy, to higher and more complex (stars->planets->humans->machines). Land theorizes humanity is inevitably coming to a close, that the logos of the universe is in control of us, and that we have no escape.

This should help
>We have been robbed of our anuses, just so they can turn them into parts for their ignominious machine which produces Capital, exploitation, and the Family. Reduced to its most practical biological functions the anus is becoming fortress—impenetrable, singular, productive. Our very excrement is assigned commercial value—so many nutrients per cubic foot, average moisture content, cost of processing.

>To reject the commodity logic of shit, we embrace the anus becoming flower—pleasurable, penetrable, commune. The anus has five muscles; the flower, five petals; the fist, five fingers. The anus is the common sexual nexus, an enclosure in the commons of pleasure. We refuse the mediation of our anuses under the logic of biopower, instead unveiling their insurgence by elaborating a logic of scat. In other words, the anuses of our revolt are scatological rather than biological.

>The human strike blossoms at every point of rupture; which is to say, at every point of emergence. Let us speak of the anal rupture, the emergence of fecal matter from our bodies. The human scatological strike will produce nothing in the act of defecation; while leaving nothing behind but an empty rectum. In the space of this void, we become whatever singularities. Our feces, freed from the logic of capital, take lines of flight toward police, while our anuses, no longer mere appendages of flesh upon a machine of nitrate circulation, are filled with found objects. Our anuses becoming… cumming glitter, shit, whatever.

Machines aren't even complex compared to stars or organisms though. That's kind of what make them machines.

so he's just another quasi-hegelian pseud

Nick Land is just a bunch of flashy bullshit, like an even more substanceless Nietzsche with even less influence.

Yes except he doesn't think we're progressing towards anything good

Correct, except he thinks the universal telos is Hell (at least for humans, who are an interstitial phase and thus destined to be fucked over by the paperclip maximizers).

even plato himself is ready to accept the idea that forms are tendencies in parmenides
