most intelligible rw theory

hey when u can can u share where to start with hegel

as i was reading land realized i'd do a better service to myself by understanding hegel and kant and revisiting marx

Yessir getting to my hotel rn and gonna be busy for a bit so if I don’t remember tag me this evening and I got you

land has interesting takes in the earlier part of his career but hes too fash for me now. idk if its too basic but i feel like mark fisher is a chiller more thoughtful version of land and has a great interview with burial, so i just go to him when i want to imagine the future

Nick Land is really appealing to guys like me who just love reading obscure esoteric s*** from guys who draw from a lot of different subjects, but I never felt like my life was getting anywhere when I read his work. Despite their portrayal as depressing and pessimistic, I found Deleuze and Baudrillard incredibly helpful in understanding modern conditions, and reading arguments that I agreed with but couldn't articulate myself was validating. With Nick Land I kinda feel like I'm reading a guy who has gone too far down the continental rabbithole (and who has done far too many d****) and can't really provide me with anything other than unsettling and plausible explanations for things I previously was not concerned with. Best of luck to you reading him tho, it sure is stimulating in the same way a lot of that French post-structuralist stuff is.

of course

SpaceGhostPurrp, Varg Vikernes and Nick Land are the same types of mavericks in their respective subcultural scenes

I've had this in mind for a while, all three are similar individuals despite their differences.

Extremely neurotic and nihilistic and reactionary but talented savants, perceived as bringing something new to the table that evolved from the past, they were also fascinated with esotericism, intensifying that aesthetic influence in the broader scene

@DontAtMe

that first guy one of the absolute funniest social media horror stories. the guy was an actual nazi then read Deleuze and decided he was actually a gay crossdresser and now just s***posts and has a huge following from it

I have a hard time understanding them because they contradict themselves all the time in their memes.

I assume their account is the edgy left/post-left philosophical theory-nerd version of JReg, where it's just super ironic

yeah i remember seeing people talking about the entire character arc as it happened

well that's the level of coherency from someone who was a literal nazi who now is a gay post-left nihilist lol
i wouldn't take anything they say seriously, it's basically all irony just like anyone else making memes for fringe views

how do peoples lives turn out like this

the memes are aii tho

Late response but basically what ur saying is it would better to have some prior knowledge on what postmodernism is before delving into critiques of it?

what internet access + need for social validation + lack of attachment to material society + western social privilege + post-ironic internet culture + social media do to a mf

only 4 of these

@op PM

followed back, so pm

nick land wasn't a nazi lol before his breakdown he was a post-leftist deleuzian. read fanged nounema

i’m almost positive they’re talking about a meme account ran by a yt trans person but the original comment just have got deleted if i remember correctly

would love to return to nick land now that i’m in a better headspace but still gotta finish anti-oedipus

It wasn’t referring to nick land it was referring to what @AmoryBlain said
