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.

dude fuck everything robots lmoa
>>8620531
>paying attention to memes
he does not want to exterminate humanity. He wants the singularity to happen though
>>8620531
From what I understand his philosophy is Marxism+Post-Structuralism+Extreme Nihilism+Overdosing on designer amphetamines.
>>8620531
He's saying that with the event of singularity and capable AI we are fucked as a species. And its all our fault.
>>8620531
post-structuralist historical materialism sans class struggle
>>8620531
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

>singularity
Well memed
>>8620531
>immoral
cucked
>>8620662
>the people in charge
but that's wrong
capitalism is an alien intelligence from the future constructing itself from enemy territory
>the elder gods dont give a shit about them
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
>>8620947
yeah brah the future can take care fo itself amirite *takebongpuff*
>>8620947
this is actually moronic. is it supposed to be cute and/or figurative or does land actually believe this?
>>8620531
Fyodorov and McLuhan, not Moldbug and Land, ok
>>8620531
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
>>8621016
>in which capital succeeds humans
What does this actually entail
>>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
>>8621072
>money is like ATP
oi, I mean money is like oxygen
food, e.g. resources humans materially depend on, is more like ATP
