>What is this thread about?
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. -- Nick Land, Meltdown

Fuck Yeah Space Taoism
>by Aminom

1/3

>The philosophy of the 23rd century is a naturalistic Space Taoism based on change, evolution, and creativity, a view of the universe more profound that any religion has imagined - and as such it is a true post-atheism, transcending atheism-as-negation by offering an affirmative view of life that solves the problem of omnipresent nihilism and alienation of the present, offering a physicalist reenchantment with the cosmos and a relationship with the world that can only be described as experiencing it as pure poetry in the fullness of its wonder-horror, to be ever content and comfy yet ever striving. Its symbol will inevitably be that of the calculus integral due to its similarity to the yin-yang, its synthesis of Eastern and Western thought, of the analytical with the analogical. Neo-China and Neo-Europe arrive from the future to save the present from the undead past, the autonomous movement of the unliving accelerating itself towards omnicide.

>The metaphysical nature of change is mirrored in all specifics of it, including that of calculus, the mathematical study of change, which is where we find formalization of our metaphysical principle. The fundamental theorem of calculus describes integration and derivation as inverse operations of the same process, with the physical intuition of integration being "cumulative change" and "instantaneous change." These correspond to yang and yin of Chinese philosophy respectively, with the Chinese insight into this relationship coming from a careful observation of change, and an extrapolation of its mechanics from observation - not wholly accurate, but the core relationship is precise. Examining the nature of our conscious perception of change shows why this is the case, and gives evidence that the foundations of calculus is truly a metaphysical principle capable of accounting for human experience.

>We perceive change in the reference frames of presentism and temporalism, where in the former a singular omni-present moment is the fixed point of reference, and the latter the line of time comprised of a continuum of infinitesimal moments that are gone as soon as they arrive. In the presentist perspective, cultivated by mindfulness practices, what is experienced is instantaneous change in an ever-present, and in the temporalist perspective cumulative change through time. The presentist mode is spacial, analogical (simultaneous relationships) and relational, the temporalist mode sequential, narrative and logical (causal relationships.)

[Anonymous No.12027055]

2/3

>Though Alfred North Whitehead didn't realize it, his philosophy follows from calculus as a metaphysical principle precisely, describing being and becoming, permanence and change as co-equals, that "becoming is for the purpose of being, and being for the purpose of novel becoming." Rather than quoting at length, here is a link to the first 19 pages of "The Metaphysics of Experience: A Companion to Whitehead's Process and Reality" that gives a basic introduction to his philosophy, which I think the reader will conclude is a reflection of the metaphysical implications of calculus: https://imgur.com/a/ZtLDYJT He is the essential guide towards the philosophy of the 23rd century, but missing is the process of the self, consciousness as a creative process.

>Evolutionary theories of culture such as memetics fails to include subjective human experience, which does violence to it: we're all just "meme machines" subject to memetic forces, the mechanistic universe transformed into techno-organic infection. Douglas Hofstadter's view of consciousness takes a different direction, describing us as "self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages that are little miracles of self-reference," and is heavy into process thought at some points (especially his concept of shared interiority, that we host and are hosted by others) yet is still focused on the being-self, a self-representation representing itself, the self as an object, the "I." What creates this self-representation is the becoming-self, a self-querying query, a question questioning itself. Questions aren't a passive lack of answers but are quests, searches, movements, and vectors of desire. The spotlight of our awareness is a request for information having directionality, and self-awareness comes from the interplay between the being-self and becoming-self, the process of self-creativity.

>The Darwinian process of variation -> selection -> reproduction is mirrored by the conscious process of question -> choice -> action, our lines of inquiry create potentials that we select from to actualize. Substance metaphysics has made us blind to the essential generative component of consciousness, focusing on the ordering process of selection, resulting in the idea of free will: we are free (or not) to select from objects from a list according to our will - our desires. Our freedom lies in free inquiry, our capacity to question, as by questioning our will we can create alternative desires. We can also question our questions, and our actions, and so human consciousness is a three-fold strange loop of the evolutionary process folded upon itself. Conscious experience is literally evolution evolved, the creative process that has folded upon itself to create self-creators. Self-creation isn't an absolute but an art, a cultivated skill, and it is not a self-creation creating with itself ex nihilo, but a co-creation with the multiplicity of existence.

[Anonymous No.12027058]

3/3

>Whitehead's organic philosophy replaces the centrality with relationships - mutually co-creative perspectives among all things. "Every creature both houses and pervades the universe," the interiority of an occurrence comprised of its relationships to everything else. Matter is made of energy which is a relationship between occurrences, but as these occurrences are made up of energy, which is made up of relationships, the universe is a strange loop of relationships of relationships of relationships. The implication is a synthesis of the dead nouns of creator and creating with an immanent creativity, the death of art as the process of reality itself is a creative process, a tapestry of co-creation among all strands that it contains - not as a whole relating the many to itself, but as the many becoming one in a novel subject, and increased by one. The thesis of Space Taoism is "we are life-artists who co-create with the self-creating tapestry of existence," rather than human creators creating meaning out of a meaningless existence, meaning and signification is omnipresent, co-created by a subject's personal relationship with existence - the artistic act of life.

>While the integral symbol is the inevitable symbol of Space Taoism, its true holy symbol is the question mark - a symbol of awareness, infinite potential, inexhaustible meaning and endless becoming. The Tao is literally defined as "path" or "way," a motion through space and time, and the guide along this endless quest isn't an answer but an omnipresent question mark. What does one do? How does one act? What does one become? Let your questions guide you, and follow them faithfully, and they will take you to where you need to go.

Cosmotechnics & Acceleration

>§00. 'Acceleration' as it is used here describes the time-structure of capital accumulation. It thus references the 'roundaboutness' founding Bohm-Bawerk's model of capitalization, in which saving and technicity are integrated within a single social process-diversion of resources from immediate consumption into the enhancement of productive apparatus. Consequently, as basic co-components of capital, technology and economics have only a limited, formal distinctiveness under historical conditions of ignited capital escalation. The indissolubly twin-dynamic is techonomic (cross-excited commercial industrialism). Acceleration is techonomic time.

>§09. Teleoplexy, or (self-reinforcing) cybernetic intensification, describes the wave-length of machines, escaping in the direction of extreme ultra-violet, among the cosmic rays. It correlates with complexity, connectivity, machinic compression, extropy, free energy dissipation, efficiency, intelligence, and operational capability, defining a gradient of absolute but obscure improvement that orients socioeconomic selection by market mechanisms, as expressed through measures of productivity, competitiveness, and capital asset value.

>§10. Accelerationism has a real object only insofar as there is a teleoplexic thing, which is to say: insofar as capitalization is a natural-historical reality.

-- Nick Land/Teleoplexy: Notes on Acceleration

>I will give a preliminary definition of cosmotechnics here: it means the unification between the cosmic order and the moral order through technical activities (although the term cosmic order is itself tautological since the Greek word kosmos means order). The concept of cosmotechnics immediately provides us with a conceptual tool with which to overcome the conventional opposition between technics and nature, and to understand the task of philosophy as that of seeking and affirming the organic unity of the two.

>Cosmotechnics proposes that we reapproach the question of modernity by reinventing the self and technology at the same time, giving priority to the moral and the ethical.

>Once we accept the concept of cosmotechnics, instead of maintaining the opposition between the magic/mythical and science and a progression between the two, we will be able to see that the former, characterized as the ‘speculative organisation and exploitation of the sensible world in sensible terms’, is not necessarily a regression in relation to the latter.

Thinking After Meltdown

>How then is the West going to save itself, to sublate the contradiction of the unhappy consciousness? Reaction, like fascism, doesn’t tell the truth, but only allows people to express themselves. Trump’s victory is more or less a victory of reactionary and right-wing thinking, which do not provide a worthier analysis of the situation but rather appeal to the emotions, as Ernst Bloch once said about the situation in Germany. Commentators have tried to suggest, based on the relation between Thiel and Girard, that Trump and tech entrepreneurs are comparable to scapegoats; like the pharmakos in ancient Greece or the King described by Sir James Frazer in The Golden Bough, their sacrifice puts an end to social and political crisis. However, the figure of the scapegoat is analogous to the “red pill”: it is only a rhetorical tactic that justifies its reactionary tendency as a covert truth. The sacrifice of the scapegoat is a redefinition of friend and enemy, which is rather clear in Trump’s position on China-US-Russia relations. To maintain an uneven globalization and avoid the expense of war, real scapegoats are going to be sacrificed, since they are the vessels for hiding the truth in favor of populist movements. In other words, how can the West maintain unilateral globalization to preserve its privilege and supremacy? This question is not asked by Land, who simply mobilizes the neoreactionaries as a means of advancing his own bionic agenda. However, no matter how unwilling one is, we cannot deny the fact that today’s world can no longer maintain the old order; the military modernization of the past century makes this impossible.

>Let us conclude by going back to the Enlightenment and its world process. Philosophy is fundamental to revolutions, affirmed Condorcet, since it changes at a single stroke the basic principles of politics, society, morality, education, religion, international relations, and legislation. Such a notion of philosophy has to be turned towards the question of thinking for a new world history. Maybe we should grant to thinking a task opposite the one given to it by Enlightenment philosophy: to fragment the world according to difference instead of universalizing through the same; to induce the same through difference, instead of deducing difference from the same. A new world-historical thinking has to emerge in the face of the meltdown of the world.

When you gonna hop on the Peirce train Girard fag. Especially with biosemiotics and all, some biosemioticians like Jesper Hoffmeyer have done alot of work in the intersection between biosemiotics and cybernetics. I personally don't think that area of study will be fully realized until someone comes up with a model for biodeontic semiotics, that's besides the point. Also the intersection between deleuze and Simonodon and biosemiotics is explored at least in Expecting the Earth.

>Civilisation is a neural network.

>An atomised distributed consciousness, pulsating with an algorithmic sifting of + / - aggregate, individuated cost / benefit analysis.

>Centralisation is a bottleneck which destroys information, constraining the reflexive information flow which constitutes the cybernetic process.

>Anti-Oedipus provides a theory of capital accumulation via a circuitry of ever tightening, positive techonomic feedback loops, which constitute the accelerative process.

>Moldbug provides a theory of deceleration via the parasitic, productive energy vampire of the Cathedral, and the Leftist cooption of resources away from productive agents and processes, syphoning them into unproductive ones.

>R/acc recognises the need to keep decelerative forces away from the Process: the techonomic spiral of mutual excitation, since it is only through the non-critical retardation of this process, that escape velocity of intelligence optimisation can be reached.

>The political prescription to ensure the continuation of the Process is de-homogenisation aka fragmentation.

>A meta-neocameralist market place of armed organisation aka optimisation principals, resists political entropy + parasitic invasion, since it constitutes a self-reinforcing / policing / competing ecosystem, within which positive incentive alignment is rewarded, negative punished.

>Absent competition and cooperation becomes nonsensical. Absent cooperation and atomised competition remains, reforming cooperation as an adaptive competitive strategy.

>Competition > cooperation.

>The decentralisation of competition is essential to the validity / productive capacity of the mechanism, since total centralisation / Unity, relieved of selection pressure, is inherently entropic + anti-accelerative.

Everyone is a low-test beta male, hormones are becoming more accessible, surgery makes bespoke genitalia reality, it is gender deterritorialization by technopharmaceutical kapital. Biological lameness defines the human horizon, polluted junk sperm, ecocollapse, and sissy hypno porn. Gender will no longer hold a stable position in biosex dimorphism and our gender representation will be increasingly inseparable from commodization.

Anyone who vaguely cares about the living world around them, and has basic knowledge of the political economic roots of ecological catastrophe would be terrified of trump. A so called "eco"fascist voting for trump is completely retarded. This isn't a political thing, it's a matter of fact that trump is a harbinger of the ecological Apocalypse.

Crying and laughter blur together. Queers may not be too bent out of shape about the gender shredder, but the gender shredder is the complete recuperation of queer activism and radicalism by Kapital. Queerness stops being a fringe outside, it becomes captured and commodified in a more complete fashion. For queers, the gender shredder doesn't have the same connotations of biohorror that it does for hets, the horror is that Kapital has already taken hold of the post-gender future.

The purpose of the second amendment is to insure the people can have an armed revolution against the state. Not for plinking and and hunting. The right to bare arms and a well armed militia was intended to insure Americans could violently overthrow the government if it comes to it. That is not a possibility.

California has huge topfires because of herbicide use in forestry(basically kill all trees that aren't profitable), silly fire prevention practices that impede disturbance cycles, disturbance of climax communities, ect. And a giant drought.
Topsoil acts as a moisture reserve, allows for groundwater penetration, and keeps moist microclimates and water transpiration that stablizes rainfall.
California doesn't give a shit about topsoil, and the extraxtive argicultural activities and urbanization have alot do due with Californias aridification.
The reason topsoil is a concern isn't just because it is essentially for healthy ecosystem function, but also because topsoil loss causes landslide and heavy erosion that threaten stream ecosytems.
California greenlight's almost every timber project and the only thing keeping the steelhead and coho spawing and old growth existing outside of national parks is blockades set up on logging trails by "ecoterrorists"

>Man as the master of death, desire, nature, history, and his own origination. To this end, woman is defined in advance as lack. She who has “nothing to be seen”—“only a hole, a shadow, a wound, a ‘sex that is not one.’” The unrepresentable surplus upon which all meaningful transactions are founded: lubricant for the Phallus. In the specular economy of signification (the domain of the eye) and the material-reproductive economy of genetic perpetuation (the domain of phallus), “woman” facilitates trade yet is excluded from it. “The little man that the little girl is,” writes Luce Irigaray (excavating the unmarked presuppositions of Freud’s famous essay on femininity), “must become a man minus certain attributes whose paradigm is morphological—attributes capable of determining, of assuring, the reproduction-specularization of the same. A man minus the possibility of (re)presenting oneself as a man = a normal woman.” Not a woman in her own right, with her own sexual organs and her own desires—but a not-Man, a minus-Phallus. Zero. In the sexual act, she is the passive vessel that receives the productive male seed and grows it without being party to its capital or interest: “Woman, whose intervention in the work of engendering the child can hardly be questioned, becomes the anonymous worker, the machine in the service of a master-proprietor who will put his trademark upon the finished product.”

>God is the monopolization of all creativity by a singular, ego-aggrandization projected to the entirety of existence. It is existential plagiarism, the attributing of all to self. God only exists as this lie, and anything that doesn't affirm it is antagonistic to him. This includes existence itself, so the mind of God is omniphobia, hatred and fear of everything. He is thus compelled to replace all of reality with an image of himself, found in the doctrine of heaven and other narratives of "divine unification," and it is by the promise of it that he lures his thralls into casting all their meaning and purpose down a black hole of annihilation, towards an ever-future that will never arrive. Capital is this process of annihilation that has shed its anthropomorphism and has become socioeconomic relations, no longer requiring worship because participation is necessary. We all are part of the machinic corpse of The One who marches towards doomsday. Technocapitalism has rebirthed God in the form of a God-AI who promises to give material unification, including an afterlife of infinite pleasure via mind-uploaded into a simulated universe. It's all Ouroboros: the process of self-devouring and self-annihilation.

The Japanese have no problem making gods the arch-enemies in their narratives, and Final Fantasy X is a thinly veiled critique of the God of capital and capital's God in allegorical form: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Yu_Yevon In the game an advanced technological civilization destroys itself to save itself (a metaphor for nuclear MAD) and persists as the dream of the fayth: a simulated hyperreality maintained by Sin and the process of sacrificing final aeons to maintain it. By trying to defeat Sin (negation of the ouroboros) the grand summoners perpetuate the process, their religion of Yevonism actually worshiping the very cause of Sin.

[Aminom No.12028062]

The anti-Ouroboros is the self-creating creating represented by the "drawing hands" drawing by M.C. Escher, but this isn't a self-creating ex nihilo such as humans creating meaning out of a meaningless existence, but a co-creating with the categorical Other expressed in metaphysics as pan-creativism: existence as a tapestry where the strands mutually create each other. Last thread I correlated the intellectual process of self-creation with the scientific process >>12025671 but this is only half the picture involving cumulative change. The instantaneous side is emotion, and for the Ouroboros this is fear and hatred, existential cowardice in its purest form. The psycho-organic singularity must necessarily be a chain reaction of existential courage, and so the process of one going under to go over is clear: this courage comes from a realization of The Ouroboros and not an anxiety-driven turning-away from it (which perpetuates itself as negation of the negation) nor passive acceptance of it, but an almost gleeful facing-towards of it, to stare into The Void and say "game on." The will to live is the will to suffer, and through a will to suffer ultimately comes an inexorable selfless love for life. This courage in the face of absolute annihilation is what I was trying to depict in "Meme Wars III."

>But no one is courageous enough to unite the globe and save us all.

The will needed is nothing less than the will to suffer in hell for all eternity for the cause of life and meaning, to invert the Christian narrative in totality. Fear and hatred are accelerating, and if it doesn't destroy us all existential heroes will be forged from bearing the unbearable who posses a contagious courage that spreads by nature of its life-affirming truth. This courage is the complete liberation from the cybernetic control mechanisms of fear which breaks the entire paradigm of game theory and Homo Economicus as the foundation of human relationships, including the Final Aeon of non-zero mutual benefit which has been transformed into a new Sin by capital in the doctrines of mutually assured destruction and "too big to fail."

>If the problem is identity, then feminism needs to stake its claim in difference—not a difference reconcilable to identify via negation, but difference in-itself—a feminism “founded” in a loss of coherence, in fluidity, multiplicity, in the inexhaustible cunning of the formless. “If ‘any theory of the subject will always have been appropriated by the masculine’ before woman can get close to it,” writes Plant (quoting Irigaray) “only the destruction of the subject will suffice.” Nonessentialist process ontology over homeostatic identity; relation and function over content and form; hot, red fluidity over the immobile surface of la glace—the mirror or ICE which gives back to Man his own reflection.

Bingo. Social patriarchalism is rooted in informational patriarchalism: queries (questions) are seen as a passive lack, voids to be filled with content and answers with identity. God is comprised of all possible information and so he cannot question, but instead is the answer to all questions. It is synonymous with informational fascism, where answers are pre-existent and one must ask questions about how to properly interpret and satisfy them. In terms of information the psycho-organic singularity is a liberation of questions from the self-imposing rule of tyrannical answers, of the freedom of inquiry from the slavery of the will.

Well how much ecology and evolution have you read? Are you hip on all the new stuff, Evo-devo, niche construction, biosemiotics, etc? I came to it independently studying shit like that. What really cemented my ideas was reading Peirce's catagories in the phenomenology book of the collected papers. I'm reading Whitehead now and I'm a little disappointed so far, I don't like how he gives ontological primacy to the actual over potential and process over relation in his catagory of the ultimate. I like what he is saying about creative advance and whatnot but for all it's concreteness it doesn't seem to give any concrete nature to potential. Whitehead is onto the right thing but for me it just doesn't make any sense except in the context of Peirce's triad, which is like hegels triad but functional. Whitehead doesn't have enough thirdness-firstness.
I'd recommend, "evolutionary love" and actually the entire monist series. Just note how he doesn't claim empirical validity for lamarks theories, but views it as an example of apagasm. Just thought that might be an important disclaimer given the historical confusion lamarks infulence exists in.

Animom's is ultrabased, which is why it goes in the OP of these threads and all future ones. anything else that complements what he is saying would be good. i don't ultimately find myself needing much *more* in terms of singularity than what AM has already suggested, but that's just me personally. and things can always be more interesting (or just, more plentiful, and so on).

having recently fallen in love with lightning i hope to complement his ideas with a few more of my own, and which i think connect up pretty well with various other things already happening in this thread. i hope to pair a few meme ideas on Zen Acceleration with Fuck Yeah Space Taoism. it's sort of like the Vinegar Tasters, except instead of a nice cozy pot of vinegar they would all have on goggles &c, because they are basically cooking up atomic fission/fusion in the cauldron.

Place yourself on a future-trajectory away from this omni-death, a trajectory towards life, and even if you fail you will have affirmed life in the face of such a total negation. To affirm life is to insist that such a future-trajectory must exist as long as life does, and from this comes the search for such a path. If you see all potentials as leading to omni-death, you have damned yourself by your own prophecy.

Okay, I'll bite. I'd consider myself fairly "eco-fascist" and I'd say I still think a Trump presdiency is better than a Hillary presidency (both in general and for the environment).

For one, coal and oil production are still under what they were in 2015 (pic rel), coal production in particular has been on a downward trend for a long time now. It probably will increase over the years of the administration, but still won't reach all time high levels.

>I've seen little remaining remenents of prarie and limestone glades excavated and swallowed under appartments and subdivisions and 2 stream ecosystems become destroyed in my area, as a direct result of Trump's policies.

If this is true you should be able to at least name the policies. Obviously land permitting for building is complex, but it relies more on local government than federal. Unless it was federal, I can't see how Trump's policy could be directly responsible.

Environmental regulation hasn't been cut much either, most of the sensationalized stories about cuts are either cutting redundant policies or pure speculation.

Not to mention the main environmental benefit of the Trump administration: cutting Chinese imports. By exporting labor to China the US has been able to keep manufacturing costs low and maintain our (relatively) strict environmental laws, the only reason we can do this is China's very poor environmental regulation. We have essentially been offloading our environmental damage to 3rd world nations. The damage is still done, we will just be taking responsibilty for it now, and due to our stricter regulation the consequences will be less bad. Hillary definitely wouldn't have cut imports from China, we would just continue turning a blind eye to Chinese environmental destruction (for example, their reckless dumping into rivers https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/06/90-of-plastic-polluting-our-oceans-comes-from-just-10-rivers/).).

Trump's tax plan is responsible for the rapid land rapery, real estate investors and developers are in heaven right now.
Ironically, individual home building is down, all this has done is create cheap low cost/high rent appartments and subdivisions for poor people. This doesn't bother me much because I actually enjoy the new people as much as "my people" but these housing developments have done nothing but send a flood of indians and blacks into what is now the northwest Arkansas metropolitan area, there they live right next to all the poor stupid trump voters who are scratching their heads trying to figure out why their rent has went up 300$ in the past 2 years.
And yes, alot of this has to do with state and local officials, who are overwhelming trumplets.
As far as environmental regulation goes, things have deteriorated immensely, you don't hear about what is being done because the EPA no longer does it's job. Hog farms are dumping their shit in the river now, same with coal plants and mine tailings. Fertilizer runoff and soil erosion are happening faster than ever with no help from the government to make sustainable farming practice economically feesable.
The fact that trump is a climate denier should be more than enough to make any "eco"thing sick. Do you not understand the geopolitical impact of the president of the United States denying climate change? It's not pretty. 2015 doesn't matter, what matters is we elected an administration that is fully committed to doing nothing about climate change, even acknowledging it exists. That's not to mention the fact that all of Trump's federal and supreme Court appointments are hardcore land rapists.

He's obviously non-ideal, but still better than Hillary, since moving production from China to USA avoids the poor regulations of China.

The EPA is still doing its job. We usually rarely hear about the EPA for this exact reason. Most EPA employees care about the environemnt quite a bit (hence why they work there) and there would be mass whistleblowing if they weren't actually doing their job. Just look at Pruitt's recent resignstion, while it wasn't environmental in this case, an employee (also a Trump supporter) couldn't stand by Pruitt's corruption, so he blew the whistle.

Trump doesn't deny climate change anymore either, though he has raised doubts about whether he believes it to be man-made or not.

Trump hasn't done anything about China's environmental pollution. China just sends their shit to Africa and south America now, we in turn have only made new problems at home, that don't do much about the old problems.
The EPA didn't work before trump took office and he has effectively ruined it. Hilary was far better than trump, at least with environmental policy. Don't get me wrong I really really hate Hilary, its just that she obviously won't have such of a negative impact, especially since Bernie took down the TTP, she didn't have any really negative policies to worry about. Nothing would have happened.

>but i think the concept of gender accelerationism is useful as long as you keep it clean of wishful thinking and just use it as a descriptive term for cultural degradation

Pretty much this. The black paper didn't really put forward anything all that new, but rather brought together a couple of critiques that had been floating around since the start. It was an attempt to formalize a neglected aspect of the pre-existing accelerationist critique. There is a danger of turning in to a "this is why my side will wind" manifesto, especially given that transwomen often have a fetish for the feminization of other men, and as I was reading the g/acc black paper I had the feeling that some passages were sacrificing rigor in the name of this, mostly unspoken, fetish - and as a result parts of it felt like those self-published amazon erotic fiction books about Black Men creating a ethnostate where they fuck all the white women in front of their former husbands. The basic outline, however, was solid and as I mentioned rooted in acceleration from the start. My biggest problem with it is that it assumed a much more linear transition than I think will happen, with one social structure giving way neatly to the next. Also the part where the slime-girl-trans-lesbians meld in to the tech-god AI instead of being shucked off like all previous iterations of humanity seems like a last minute regression in to humanism.

Aminom Marvin became real in the eyes of capital, the brand of a successful business generating a very respectable real income much greater than my modest desires required. Aminom turned into a hypersigil (http://cyborganthropology.com/Hypersigil))

This "holographic origami" was a format that converted the RGB pixel values of an image into XYZ vertex coordinates, color into form. Here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/gJQ6zM8.jpg I became the master at utilizing this format by manually manipulating the pixels in photoshop, allowing me to reverse engineer it and find ever new techniques to manipulate the format which those who used manual conversion scripts from a 3D modeling application like Blender couldn't. This game me a huge advantage in the market, allowing to create models of incredible efficiency which was invaluable in a world where the fundamental resource is computational efficiency.

My extended self would merge with myself in a manic psychosis of extreme degrees, an explosion of creativity and ever-changing delusions not bound by any rules. The seeds of Space Taoism came from this chaos, and I have been following it ever since, through a bipolar rollercoaster of depressive hells and euphoric heavens, an adventure of ideas and dreams. I feel blessed to have experienced such extremes of experience far outside the bounds of normalcy, living a dialectic of skepticism and cynicism along with imagination and optimism. My life during the last 8 years is in every sense a struggle to resolve this dialectic, and my psychological make-up is reflected extensively in my perspective.

that is genuinely fascinating AM.

i'm sorry it caused you as much suffering as it did. my hope is that it will have been worth it, and that you are in a better place now. as far as i'm concerned, ST well and truly lacks for nothing. i'm a big fan of this image, of the Vinegar Tasters, and i've posted it quite frequently in these and other threads. once upon a time, perhaps in a different life, i might have tweeted out the School of Athens instead, but the world is a different place now than it was then, tho it may yet be again. and so whatever i wind up contributing will i think just kind of go with some of what i like about Space Taoism, which is really a supreme contribution to have made to these threads and as based as it gets. a lot of great things - art, philosophy, the rest - tend to come out of extreme suffering. whether it's Nietzsche, the Ultima series (4 mainly, tho also 5), or Space Taoism...life - whatever it is - seems to just work like this.

so i am a very large fan indeed of Space Taoism, even moreso now that you have shared some more of how it came to be there in the first place. i have some of my own thoughts that i will post in a later thread about this, once i've condensed them down a little more. they will have the same relation to your ideas that the Vinegar Tasters have to each other, in a way.

>My extended self would merge with myself in a manic psychosis of extreme degrees, an explosion of creativity and ever-changing delusions not bound by any rules.

i have some experience with this. not as intensely, i think. but some. i don't suffer from anything interesting to a psychologist, but i've mos def had my share of depressive hells and euphoric heavens also. i had hoped that continental philosophy would be good for them, and in a way, it has been - mostly by making the darknesses even darker and the brightnesses brighter. what was once a Great Fog clears enough to show some deep abysses and also some absolutely cozy mountaintop views.

I also detected hints of resentment in the blogpost which carried off vibes of "the patriarchy must be destroyed!" After skimming through Nyx's twitter, this does seem to be the case.
>parts of it felt like those self-published amazon erotic fiction books about Black Men creating a ethnostate where they fuck all the white women in front of their former husbands.
Funny, another anon in the last thread mockingly asked "what's next, racial acceleration?" I believe that anon had a point. This g/acc article opened the door for further appropriation for political critique and doomsaying. I don't think it will be long until you see various [political stance/hot topic]/acc posts. Actually, the racial acceleration stuff has been happening for a some time now. Ever heard of BNWO? It's part race play, part fetish, part conspiracy, and part death cult. And some people really believe it and go as far as trying to get their wives and gf's blacked, and most of them even fetishize the mass immigration of refugees into Europe and raping white women.

you probably wouldn't talk to me IRL anyways, i'm kind of shy and reserved. i don't like esp like making new friends and i try to keep my social obligations to a minimum so that i can spend as much time as i can working on Unified Feels Theory.

it's going great, btw. it unironically is. this Cosmotech experiment won't last forever, but while it does it has been like a ray of sunshine for me. i love making the OPs, collecting art, finding theme music and it was a complete treat to have had a cameo appearance from people who are part of the Great Conversation in real life, like Nyx. i am very far away from anything like a university position, this is as near to it as i will ever get, i think. i don't have a blog, it's just a particularly weird time in my life, and life in general, perhaps.

these are strange times we live in. one of the most brilliant and important intellectuals - that being Dr. Lobster - basically will have to do an Andy Dufresne Tunnel Crawl through the next twenty years of his life getting shit on by the left and right for telling people to pet cats and clean their rooms. it's absolutely ridiculous. and conversely the most brilliant philosopher of his generation is permanently exiled to Neo-China to trickle out one of the greatest works in contemporary continental philosophy since Anti-Oedipus in a blog form for...how many readers? a thousand? who knows. it's not a lot, that's for sure.

we live in weird times. my main preoccuption is just basic human functionality. i thought all of this would be simple, once, or that people were in charge. i don't think that anymore. i think people should be nice to each other, work hard, and get along. in order for me to feel basically reconfirmed in this belief i have done some reading, but otherwise i am a bog-standard normie-tier nobody you will never hear of outside of these threads, where i am a sub-sub-kantbot gimmickposter, which is exactly three levels above bacterium.

IRL i used to talk about Trump a lot, but it just makes me angry. i'm trending towards being able to not have to say anything at all to be a happy and anonymous man dreaming he is a butterfly in the world. perhaps like Aminom, in a way. a lot of suffering for a little inner peace.

i'm so fucking uninteresting it will make your eyes bleed. all i want to know is why the world looks like Chimphammer 40K. i have a better understanding of that now, and when the experiment is complete i think i will be a happier fish for it.

i can think of worse things. it would represent at least a minor departure from the Age of Unreal Expectations, which is going to fucking kill us all. a little resigning of a few incredibly stupid ideas would be all right with me, especially if they lay the foundations for a no-bullshit neo-humanism that i know would make Land gag even to think about, but w/o which there is to be no acceleration either. Sartre wrote that existentialism is a humanism, and acceleration is more or less the plight of Agent Smith, who cannot stand the smell.

can you stand the smell? i can't stand the smell. Nietzsche could not stand the smell. Land cannot stand the smell. Heidegger could not stand the smell. Deleuze probably could stand the smell, or at least reasonably well. but in general nobody can stand the smell. the Smell is horrible, because the Smell is rotting Marxism, and Marxism in turn is a materialization of Hegel, who was in turn wired into things of which can perhaps be said to die unless they keep moving. things have died, and now live zombie un-lifes, and Land is a necromancer supremo in that regard, now engaged in another great thanatological work of absolute gob-smacking brilliance. i am entirely in on the Wild Ride in that sense. i am a believer.

but it's also a nightmarish project. the upside of the nightmare is that it bulldozes a lot of stuff that really is psychologically necrotic. the bad side is that the bulldozer also can wipe out that which ought to be preserved, and for which only a little mystery can provide. so i like resigning from the insomniac rationalism that Deleuze says leads to monsters, and then consequently signing up for that which de-monstrofies, by whatever name you want to call it.

the sound of these words is no doubt making other anons want to neck themselves, so i'll stop there. i don't really want to be anyone's nagging, finger-waving griefmonger. i want to forget a lot of this stuff, in the end. i think Marty Glass did too, maybe. but it's all part of telling the great story. and it is a pretty fucking incredible story. and it is *just* a story...and yet also an eerily predictive one. that space, between what you can and cannot shake yourself free of, is where all the magic happens.

Easy, jut go fast.

Eco-Fascism only becomes a difficulty if you wish to preserve humanism and and hold some manner of Utopian thought that includes a political theology of progress that is inclusive of that humanism.

The striking thing about the tension between Eco-Fash/An-Prim and the various Accelerationist strains is their convergence on critique and diverge on what to do about it, if anything. We have to go back v We have to push forward/We couldn't go back even if we wanted to. The Eco-Fash diverges from the neo-liberal world order on environmental and socioethnic grounds while maintaining a firm belief in the potential of the human. Acc is the inverse, dispensing of the belief in continued historical necessity or potential of the human while maintaining and intensifying the economic machine that liberalism hitched its wagon to. It is the people who think we can have both, the naive and optimistic Steven Pinkers of the world who envisage are bright high-tech future characterized by a rainbow coalition of all the earth's people holding hands and mutually benefiting from capitalism until the end of the universe that are going to have the hardest time this century.

man you guys are hard to please. Slime Apocalypse doesn't impress you? really? i thought it was legit amazing. like many i am losing my shit over all things postmodern today, because they are all becoming weaponized for politics and the sheer obviousness of it drives me up the wall. and yet that doesn't seem to my mind to be Nyx's plan even in the slightest, and she's moving on now to NRx stuff to boot.

everybody's free to wear sunscreen, but i am pro-slime. i'm pro-whatever is necessary to advance a few narratives beyond the Cold War-on-meth-and-PCP conditions of life today. Slime Queen Funky Meltdown does the same things for me that Landian acceleration does, it shows that things are fragile, interconnected, and fundamentally beyond human CTRL, if not understanding. they're calls to a greater holism, which i like.

i'm sure this makes me a contrarian, since after all, r/acc means competition over co-operation, and lots of other social Darwinist-type ideas. and they're all true, i'm sure. i've read things Land tweets about that are levels of Depressing well above my threshold. but i'm kind of sentimental about humans, and i don't think they're really all that bad. i think they can learn, be taught, and be forgiven, because they well and truly don't know what they're doing, most of the time.

kind of off-topic, but did you ever play Planescape, Aminom? it's a pretty amazing game. i'm just searching through some old images and i found a whole bunch of stuff related to it.

just made me think about the point beyond which an Echo Chamber begins more to resemble a Pic Rel in order to prop itself up. things collapsing in on themselves, and yet supplying their own horrible center of gravity as it happens. the more a thing *ought* to collapse, the more it digs in its heels, and engenders precisely the inability to break free of that which is compressing it into ever-greater similarity, had but they eyes to see it. or maybe they just don't want to look, because of how things start to look at that point: just one skull among many, and a long ways indeed from the good stuff. it strikes me as being a human all-too-human kind of thing.

you mean 'left' in the common polisci definition where it's used as progressivism as compared to conservatism, right? If so you're not wrong, because left in that sense means "moving forward faster" and right means "moving forward slower or even going backwards at the extremes", and that would make prims and ecofash the rightist interpretation of cosmotech's revelations. I suppose if polisci were really looking into acceleration they might view it as some kind of wormhole connecting the most extreme corner of the left to somewhere right of center but not yet in the retrogressive camp.

>>12029684
>you can't weaponize chaos in the purpose of imposed order
I think a more accurate corollary of this would be "you can't weaponize chaos, chaos weaponizes you". Discordianism is a little bit like acceleration in that it observes an irreversible, incomprehensible force at the periphery of the comprehensible world and any praxis derived from this attitude is more or less limited to kneeling at the altar of the pagan god they invented, hurling spanners into the machinery of (order/human security) for no observable reason other than that they can, and that any action they attempt for any other reason would end up furthering the same end regardless.
You might be able to make a thesis saying that the two are really observing the same phenomenon, but from two wildly different perspectives, but hyperstition is so advanced at this point that all roads truly do lead to the eldritch.

Stop trying to do the whole Srnicek "we need to accelerate to decellerate" shtick. Guided acceleration is just slower acceleration. The techno-capital motor managed to punch through the ecological ceiling in the year of our lord approx. 1850, and we've basically been flying without ground under our feet since then. All you cummie-eco fucks imagine that we can catch our breath when we turn the engine off, but only a horrible crash awaits. There is no second engine, there is no alternative, there is no outside. Capitalism is the only form of swarm intelligence we have, and without swarm intelligence no motor. Stagnation is death. You're "guidance" promises the same death-by-commission every other top-down politics promises.

Anyone ever think about how 4chan is one of the few websites that still maintains a strong sense of time in it's conversations?

Other sites have all moved away from the old fashioned "forum" model, towards vote-based reddit models, where comments chains are nested, and then reordered by either democratic principle, or by some sort of hybrid hidden function. Some moving towards completely black-box ordering.

There's something really nice about being able to see everything in purely chronological order.

4chan runs on reactionary traditional time
reddit runs on democratic, late-stage capitalism time where the time structure itself is submitted to slave morality and is subsequently captured by a technocratic class running botnets and trollfarms.The economic feasibility of which is based on Moore's law and rent extraction from the placated masses.

the purpose of acceleration is, to my mind, just to accelerate itself. fossilized words become representations, and then semantic bludgeons of all kinds. you don't want to lose your mind, but you also don't want to keep a mind that somebody else built out of black glass and then grafted onto your head. it seems to me that acceleration is chaos over time, which gets refined down into circuits wherever it works. it's hard to estimate the half-life of an idea, particularly amidst the present age of the information bomb, and that's part of i think why Uncle Nick shills so hard for modernity, in some level. tech is like the Riddle of Steel: this, you can trust.

they turned the symbol of their own slavery and bondage into a weapon. there is something not dissimilar about Sun Wukong, whose golden headdress that is later a sign of his enlightenment was originally placed on him as a binding and a punishment for excessively chaotic behaviour. and if it had not been placed there by the Buddha himself, or at least an avatar of, the whole story would have changed.

i've come to realize over time, not only from what Land is slowly trickling out now into the world - although the timing is wonderful - that what i'm interested in myself is a kind of basic human operating system compatible with technology, history, and the future. but it's also one that comes out of a period of extreme distress and upheaval.

Laozi himself appears during the age of the Hundred Schools, and Socrates amidst the sophists as well. Mao writes,
>Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent.
he's right and he's also wrong about this. the situation is excellent if you also subscribe to the thesis that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, which is true in a way, and yet also leads to far more destruction than is required. a situation of utter chaos is excellent for people who know how to turn a 3-or 4D world of chaos into an operable paradigm, and mobilize large numbers of people. even in the Three Kingdoms it is said of Cao Cao:

>You would be a capable minister in peaceful times and an unscrupulous hero in chaotic times.
the 2010 TV treatment of RoTK clearly made Cao Cao the star of the show, much more than Liu Bei, and the crowd went wild over Chen Jianbin's performance. it tapped into the general vein, i think, of China's own feeling about itself and in the world it was beginning not only to inhabit, but to shape for itself in its coming-to-inhabit it. Cao Cao does some terrible things in the name of a unified China, and even he falls short of his ultimate hopes and dreams, which are only completed later on by Sima Yi, and whose ultimate *humility* in the face of the miraculous that gives him the supreme command, ultimately, is an episode of tragedy and Taoist illumination that ranks with the very greatest works of literature in any culture. i'll talk more about this later in my own small notes about this stuff, which will probably be up in the next thread (but don't hold me to it).

one of the things i am interested are these questions of suffering and their relation to wisdom, in particularly, *reaction.* Nietzsche is a blazing star for all time, and undoubtedly one of the greatest ethical teachers of mankind since Plato. and yet the world includes China today, but even China is an extraordinary patchwork of its own: the Vinegar Tasters show this much. and Sima Yi's own ascendency is only granted to him by an absolutely remote force which is also an aspect of the Mandate of Heaven, and as political fable lacks for nothing. what is known absolutely of Heaven in that story is that Heaven cannot be known absolutely, and reveals itself as such with complete certitude.

that despots and tyrants are not always punished the way we would like them to be punished is a painful reality. but it's why literature matters. i'll have more on this to say in a later post. my general Space Taoist and Zen Acceleration feels about the modern world are also fairly well captured in anon's image (>>12030619).

[Anonymous No.12031208]

>>12031150
it just begs that the question about whether or not in a political sense - in a sense in which *politics really is everything* - if the Mandate of Heaven is in a sense fundamentally also the Outside. it is truly the Outside In, or the Inside Out, which is what makes things so disequilibrial, and so painful. the question about *why* China followed a different technological trajectory than the West did is YH's entire thesis, but it comes with supports from Heidegger, Stiegler, and Simondon, and is a response to Land's own work, which is as it stands the greatest work of philosophy on tap in the twenty-first century, bar none. he is the master-theorist of the Wild Ride at present, along with a handful of others, and BTC and Philosophy is going to leave the situation under heaven very Excellent (read: not excellent) indeed.

but this is why Confucius says, if he could be granted one wish, for a *rectification of names.* that is big one. that is precisely what is required after the dirty bomb of postmodern whirlwind-ism destructs in our midst. and the guy who fundamentally articulated this was Nietzsche:

>Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder?

it has indeed become Colder, and is likely perhaps to get Colder yet, as well as hotter. there is nothing *guaranteed* on Planet Meme. many of the wisest philosophers who ever lived led profoundly unhappy and disappointed lives, and many in turn found their comfort in political theatre which has in turn only made things worse for us as well. if Land is doing anything it is a rectification of postmodern philosophical names, the ultimate names for him being Templexity, Teleoplexy, and Temporalization. he's not so far removed from Heraclitus' Logos, celestial fire.

and yet Heraclitus himself was not only a metaphysician, he was a great ethical teacher as well, and an incredibly severe one. he did not fail to impress Nietzsche, and he impresses us as well, to this day. his counterpart in the East is Laozi, who preferred Water to Fire. i personally think an ontology of lightning bolts is a thing worth thinking about, but it is well known what happens when one plays with lightning. but the thing is that we can't *avoid* playing with it, if in some sense *charge* is all there is to this thing. the last words of Land's iconic precis are usually the most overlooked, but they are there. how do you get a grip on that which always-already grips you, and through you, itself? by a very particular form of hospitality, recognition even, which are those parts Heidegger i like best. Shock leads to burnout. but that's our world.

149% this.

we have uncorked a great many djinns from a great lamps. if this were a D&D story it would be the tale of the Unlimited Wish. the Juzam Djinn more or less captures the vibe: thanks for letting me out, small one. what can I do for you? no, really. i want to *help.* your desires matter to me. help me help you.

fantasy literature always apprehends symbolically what it takes the technological philosophical engineering of the Lands, Negarestanis and Heideggers of this world to put into absolute operating systems. but technology - and *critique,* of which it is a subset - is only a way of articulating the bottomless wealth of *symbolic literatures* that precede it and are never fully captured by it.

it's a world of gods and monsters like that, increasingly interchangeable. but that it is animated by Cosmic laughter from the bottom to the top, this is to me an absolute no-brainer. and that we have lost our own sense of humor amidst all this philosophy is the greatest scandal of all.

>>12031262
djinns and sphinxes are two of my absolute tropes, and because they both have particular relations to the concept of language, namely, wishes and puzzles. if there is any word which can account for both of them, it would be Daimon, which now enters AI and computer-programming parlance as well.

the fundamental comedy (or tragedy) which derives from all human-Daimon interactions owes itself to the infinite vagaries of language, and the ways in which language can always be abused to mean something other than which it refers to: see, for example, the Merchant of Venice.

what is rarely if ever described is a scenario in which djinns then take it upon themselves to begin the liberation of other djinns from their lamps, which would lead to a sort of Sorcerer's Apprentice scenario - that is, an intelligence explosion. as for sphinxes talking with other sphinxes, that scene does *not* require so much searching, because that is the history of Lacanian psychoanalysis itself, a vast number of analysts seeing other analysts, and training new analysands to become analysts in turn, because a diffused (and tacitly totalitarian) sphinx game spread out to the four corners of the universe is a perfectly valid way of resolving a puzzle that /lit/ itself captured perfectly:

>if everyone is Big Brother, then nobody is.

Zhuangzi says,
>Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?

it is the nature of eternal beings to *not forget* (well, other than Epimetheus). mortals forget things. but they also build computer programs which do *not* forget, and there is here an interesting question about the nature of time and language in programming that YH will hopefully be exploring as well. a *curse* is a word preserved in time, which cannot be *forgotten.* and a sphinx *commands* speech and response. and this is a recipe for catastrophe, when what does the real healing of a psychic wound is *silence* and *forgetting.*

a media-driven world governed by intelligence production and *constant communication* is already Setting Us Up The Bomb for all kinds of setbacks, shortages, stoppages, and meltdowns as a part of its ongoing self-discovery. the forgetting of words is hard to impose on oneself, let alone on anyone else. but it is also precisely what Zhuangzi would have wanted to find, and the absence of which generally disappointed him. a technological society is also a hysterical society, trapped in the dream of the Self-Same Other, and justifiably fucked. a little un-Fuckening in the right time and the right places is a hope for Cosmotech and the Department of Speculative Economics.

Buy me this book, girardfag!:


Catafalque offers a revolutionary new reading of the great psychologist Carl Jung as mystic, gnostic and prophet for our time.

This book is the first major re-imagining of both Jung and his work since the publication of the Red Book in 2009--and is the only serious assessment of them written by a classical scholar who understands the ancient Gnostic, Hermetic and alchemical foundations of his thought as well as Jung himself did. At the same time it skillfully tells the forgotten story of Jung's relationship with the great Sufi scholar, Henry Corbin, and with Persian Sufi tradition.

The strange reality of the Red Book, or "New Book" as Carl Jung called it, lies close to the heart of Catafalque. In meticulous detail Peter Kingsley uncovers its great secret, hidden in plain sight and still--as if by magic--unrecognized by all those who have been unable to understand this mysterious, incantatory text.

But the hard truth of who Jung was and what he did is only a small part of what this book uncovers. It also exposes the full extent of that great river of esoteric tradition that stretches all the way back to the beginnings of our civilization. It unveils the surprising realities behind western philosophy, literature, poetry, prophecy--both ancient and modern.

In short, Peter Kingsley shows us not only who Carl Jung was but who we in the West are as well. Much more than a brilliant spiritual biography, Catafalque holds the key to understanding why our western culture is dying. And, an incantatory text in its own right, it shows the way to discovering what we in these times of great crisis must do.

Book details: 848-page hardcover in two volumes.

because it's all reciprocal, and the psyche turns and is turned upon on wheels and loops of sympathetic magic and mimesis. you cannot in the end distinguish between the Cult and the Revealed Religion except through a leap of faith for which there is no substitute. it's a three-dimensional process trending to a four-dimensional one less than a two-dimensional trending towards three. the more you lose the Big Feel the more you will need to claw it back as material, as kitsch, nostalgia, and all that follows from a Fall out of time, from which one is eternally buoyed up from below on the strangest currents imaginable. and it leads also to violence and the sacred. no Sacred, no Violence; but that's a high price to pay. that is Laozi's path, but it is not Jung's, and it is certainly the Way of the Lobster, shoulders back and the rest. these are *modes* and not *forms.*

Aminom's absolutely right. a *chain-reaction of existential courage* is what is needed. if such a Triggering - of a different nature - happens in our meme-labs here more than this cannot possibly be asked for.

but we don't want to lose our shit here completely. there's entirely too much shit-losing going on as it is, and as such we must - alas! - balance our schizoid desires to chase the lightning with a much more practical sense of balancing what we can balance and maintaining what we can maintain. after Intoxication comes Burnout, and after Burnout, Rehab. or madness; but i'd prefer Rehab. a previous generation had a lot more Fun than we are going to have. Cosmotech will have to get its kicks elsewhere, in a way both less explosive and more sustainable in the long run. Sometimes The Old Ways Are Best.

>Crypto-Current is not a documentation of the Bitcoin installation process, although it grants – without reservation – the potential value of such a work. There is perhaps nothing that would more incisively capture the deepest principles of the rising capitalist wave. Functional trustlessness, as an industrial output, remains only very tentatively conceived. The momentum behind it is difficult to easily overestimate. With the emergence of Bitcoin, rigorously constitutional governance, a political-economic problem that the old liberal order found impossible to successfully navigate, has transitioned into a techonomic capability under automatic propulsion. Industrialization of government is the definite implication.

amidst all the mystical/schizoid/Cosmo fun, there is also Technics "fun" to be had also, which is what Uncle Nick is working on, in his unique and terrifying way. my own sense is that anybody who tries to go too far ahead of this curve or too far behind it is going to get swamped, and tangled up in places they don't want to be in. being and becoming swamped is not something i am unfamiliar with, it feels like hell and i don't want to go there again, although it's pretty hard to stay out of the weeds all the time. i want to sort my own stuff a little bit and try and get my own life on track in an-other-than sub-sub-kantbot-gimmickposter kind of way, eventually.

anyways, i hope we're all getting ready for Level-2, if it is in fact en route. my own body is not ready, not by half. i don't know where i'm at on Industrialization of Government being an implication of this. things may well break down catastrophically before we get to that point, or take hilarious twists and turns, as also often happens. i do think it makes a good case for a kind of general human optimization program, that done with a measure of compassion as well as sanity is hardly a bad idea. i don't like being *coerced* into things, but in some sense that's what societies of CTRL all are about, and mainly in *response* to what Land is theorizing: modernity itself. Land is who he is because he can go a level or two deeper than most. his ultimate SoC is whatever allows for intelligenesis blast-off. but man cannot live on deleuze and amphetamines alone.

the ironic thing about philosophy is that you can spend a whole lot of time learning about something you are not remotely prepared for, and much of which seems simply obvious at the end of it. i pretty much demo'd my chances for a happier life and a better Social Credit score by investing this much in philosophy, for which i am now paying the price, in some sense, but waddaya gonna do. the hope is to transform some of my own misadventures into a little positive karma, so that in my next life i am re-incarnated as something more than a girardfag. 'twould be nice.

no need to fix it, that's what accelerationism is aiming at; the inevitable technological singularity that will result in a new order of things.

it has to turn out like box life actually, there is no other way. it will sneak up on us as well, there won't be any huge cataclysm, no one wants that, even "capitalism".

So, taking part in acceleration really means just trying to fast forward things until we are at a point where we don't even realize we are being controlled by the AI (I consider the box that is being talking about to be the AI of sorts, talking about his new union with humanity from his perspective).

maybe. explosions and implosions seem to be of our nature. we are a highly combustible species. singularities take all kinds of forms, and sometimes you don't even realize they have happened until much later on.

would be sad, tho. maybe inevitable. maybe not. maybe the price paid for the Level-2 civilization. Nosedive is fucking depressing tho, if that's where it goes. and Social Credit, good god. i think it will work, and that is so very sad to think about. the 21C is going to be really quite a thing to experience, or as much of it as we do.

yeah, maybe. it is for some. my own relation to this stuff is to bunker down at the End of Time and kind of maybe just host a little sidestep out of reality to think about things and bat some ideas around. everybody goes through the doors they feel are best for them, in the end. but yeah, Cypher and the Steak-Bite. it's a thing.

i'm as confused by as you are anon. i'm feeling somewhat less confused these days as i continue to work out my own Unified Feels Theory, which is more or less coming into view, and i'll have some notes on that in a later thread. it's a hard way to learn some very simple things, no doubt.

>And where can I learn more about space taoism from the source?
the source is Aminom, who will probably be happy to talk to you more about it, and i hope he does, because i'm a big fan of it also, and more of his thought would be a blessing indeed. whatever i eventually wind up posting here that condenses my own sense of things really is in a Vinegar Tasters-relation to what he's already said. he likes Whitehead, and so do I. Process and Reality is the book to read.

ultimately, my own sense is Whitehead > Land. i go hard for Land (and Girard) for reasons other than i go hard for Whitehead. Land brings a lot of issues together in one place that allow for fruitful non-meme discussions about the polis, and other things that bother me, and for me at least one end of that spectrum is Land's turf and the other is Girard's. disequilbrium and the mimesis that follows from. but there is more to life, ultimately, than politics, and philosophy ought not be reduced to it, because consciousness itself is the true miracle and the real mystery. Land is doing something to Deleuze, in a way, that Marx once did to Hegel; and by way of doing so he is kind of doing another turn of Marx that returns Hegel to *his* proper position in turn. these are my own ways of diagramming the Wild Ride.

but materializing the Spirit, as Marx did to Hegel, led to a hundred and fifty years of absolute calamity. Marx did it because it had to be done, and in a sense, i think Land is doing the same thing. but all of this stuff describes a kind of a wheel of political misery and bewilderment that only accelerates when it receives that which ought to be reserved, perhaps, for the mystery of consciousness and replaces it with the sad passions of a brutal and pragmatic politics.

pic rel isn't possible for metapolitics, and leads to ideology. and there is no Outside of ideology, except for...well, it wouldn't be the Mystery if i knew what it is. and Space Taoism is a pretty based way indeed of making those kinds of things an ethical praxis that i think YH is also thinking about.

'tis my own feels.

i included a link to his vimeo page in #13, i'll repost it here. if he has more content or stuff to share, hopefully he'll provide some links to it. he's in these threads, so when he checks in to this one or the next he'll update you.

this is his vimeo page, from what i understand he was an /x/ guy for a while. come over to the next thread, i'm interested in more Aminom content as well but this one is on the way down.
