I read both volumes of his Endgame books some years ago, but none of his other work. Enjoyed them some, with many good quips and passionate appeals, especially at the time when was more into leftist ideologies. Still respect him, because he is very no-bullshit, very genuine. He truly gives zero fucks and will call people on their inconsistencies and shit without pulling any punches, and that is a large part of his appeal probably.

Also, we really are witnessing a massive ecological implosion, 6th great extinction event etc, and so for people who are willing to face that fact, Jensen's priorities are going to be attractive. However, he is very much an anarcho primitivist type, advocating for a 'rewilding' and 'back to nature' approach, mass depopulation etc, and well.. even if it were possible to make such an attempt, I don't think it would work; we're already past the "point of no return" imo. We're going to need to "accelerate" into actively managing the Earth and constructing controlled biomes in order to retain any of our mammal planet ecology, imo. If all humans died off tomorrow, the planet would at this point probably still spiral into an ecology centered on insectoids and slime molds, at best.
