Can someone please explain what the hell is going on here?

Does he actually want to exterminate humanity? Why? Most of the time he just seems to say ridiculously immoral and/or insane shit.

he does not want to exterminate humanity. He wants the singularity to happen though

From what I understand his philosophy is Marxism+Post-Structuralism+Extreme Nihilism+Overdosing on designer amphetamines.

He's saying that with the event of singularity and capable AI we are fucked as a species. And its all our fault.

Land's the only honest neoliberal on earth. TecnoCapitalism is a death cult. The worst thing is the people in charge of it, the wall street capitalists and the tech people, don't even realise it, they think it's all good. They are autistic lovecraftian cultists to dumb to realise the elder gods dont give a shit about them

but that's wrong

capitalism is an alien intelligence from the future constructing itself from enemy territory

they understand this perfectly well, better than you do

liberalism is the assumption that nature was designed for human purposes, when really it's the other way around

He doesn't actively want to exterminate humanity, it's just an inevitable and not inherently undesirable step in the advancement of knowledge.

it's a figurative way of describing ecological succession, in which capital succeeds humans

put another way, it's just Marxism filtered through Deleuze & Guattari

if you really want to get into Land, pic related is a good place to start

>>8620971

don't be a faggot pass that shit

>>8620981

I see no substantial contradiction between these

if anything, McLuhan is encompassed by Land

>in which capital succeeds humans
What does this actually entail

>> No.8621072

>>8621063

techno-cephalization

humans are more akin to blood and skin cells than nerve cells

media, in the all-encompassing, McLuhan sense, is more like the nerve cells

money is like ATP

in no way is this a strict analogy, but it conveys the idea

>> No.8621078

>>8621072
>money is like ATP

oi, I mean money is like oxygen

food, e.g. resources humans materially depend on, is more like ATP
