"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

Yes, it's from The Thirst for Annihilation. It's a short fiction chapter in the middle; it's really cringe but the rest isn't like it and is quite good. He isn't very good at fiction tho (example: Phyl-Undu).

I don't get it. So "God" is the nick name of some random guy who the MC killed?Then he reference nietzsche and communion as if he actually killed God, and not some random person who he refers to by the nickname of "God." Am I missing something or is this just literal schizo-tier nonsense? It's like they tried as hard as they could to be edgy but failed spectacularly by suggesting that killing some random dude named God is the same as actually killing God, revealing themselves to be legitimately, completely, 100% mentally retarded.

That's not philosophy. Nothing is being asserted or questioned. It's a fictional short story without any particular point or message.

I read the entire OP. It's an edgy short story about some guy who killed someone who apparently was known by the nickname god. Then the author references nietzsche "god is dead" and communion, as is the main character had actually killed god, and not just some guy who called himself god. How exactly is that philosophy in any way?

I tried reading The Thirst for Annihilation several times, but I could not make sense out of it. Its just like ultra-edgy gibberish. Except the chapter on philosophy history is very good.

[Anonymous No.16444958]

>>16444903
The main character killed a flesh and blood person with a knife, and this person had a father, making it abundantly clear the main character killed a flesh-and-blood person who they refer to as 'God'. But for the sake of argument, let's ignore ignore your utter lack of reading comprehension for the moment, and entertain the idea that the main characters somehow killed an immortal, omnipotent being with a fucking knife. How exactly does that magically transform the story into philosophy?

My social and emotional intelligence is likely higher than yours, I work with many differnt people on a daily basis on my job. I do find many good people there & even more from the large group of stupid people, out of which a small portion makes no secret out of the fact that they would like to make you kill yourself.
My workplace is filled with grade A people only, but I guess I'm not the only one hearing abhorrent stories from relatives who participate in real life, stories from work or private life, where again the stupidity of the large part of humanity is presented to you.
I want these people to burn. Who can blame me for liking Nick Land?
Land's dream will become true soon, mabye even during his lifetime. I am awaiting it in joyful anticipation. Good luck.

I have a nick land volume sitting on my reading stand right now, but it doesn't have this absolute cringefest anywhere in it, thank goodness. His essays on Kant, Schopenhauer, and so on are very enjoyable reading.

I suggest you read The Thirst for Annihilation between "Spirit and Teeth" and "Shamanic Nietzsche" in Fanged Noumena -- for a reading order of his works. Yes, the excerpt of OP is in it and it's cringy, but that's just a short interlude chapter called "Easter"; the rest is very interesting, though there's also a whole chapter on thermodynamics which was lost on me.

[Anonymous No.16451364]

>>16450022
Not cringy. If you like Land then you know why this is good
