our bodies are bunch of useless rotting fleshbags, that primarily inhabit and perceive the universe narrowly (in 3D space and by vision, respectively). our conscious needs to find a way to leave our bodies behind before its too late.

Sounds quite gnostic.

praise gnon

>>8724986
Doesn't he espouse Darwinism and materialism as ends in themselves though?

>useless rotting fleshbags

I've never seen a Nick Land writing that goes that shallow with its supposed materialism but I'd be up to be proven wrong with some source of his

no, even his conceptualization of Gnon is fairly deconstructive and dialectic

>“It was the sick and decaying who despised body and earth and invented the heavenly realm [in order to] to escape their own misery… So they sighed: ‘Would that there were heavenly ways to sneak into another state of being and happiness!’ Thus they invented their sneaky ruses and bloody potions. Ungrateful, these people deemed themselves transported from their bodies and this earth”
Thus spoke Zarathustra.

>“All health, beauty, intelligence, and social grace has been teased from a vast butcher’s yard of unbounded carnage, requiring incalculable eons of massacre to draw forth even the subtlest of advantages. This is not only a matter of the bloody grinding mills of selection, either, but also of the innumerable mutational abominations thrown up by the madness of chance, as it pursues its directionless path to some negligible preservable trait, and then — still further — of the unavowable horrors that ‘fitness’ (or sheer survival) itself predominantly entails. We are a minuscule sample of agonized matter, comprising genetic survival monsters, fished from a cosmic ocean of vile mutants, by a pitiless killing machine of infinite appetite. (This is still, perhaps, to put an irresponsibly positive spin on the story, but it should suffice for our purposes here.)”

All biomatter is sick and decaying, dumb Fredposter.

>I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.

>The emergence of pessimistic philosophers is in no way the sign of great, terrible states of distress; rather, these question marks about the value of all life are made in times when the refinement and ease of existence make even the inevitable mosquito bites of the soul and the body seem much too bloody and malicious, and the poverty of real experiences of pain makes one tend to consider painful general ideas as already suffering of the highest rank. There is a recipe against pessimistic philosophies and excessive sensitivity, things which seem to me to be the real ‘distress of the present’ – but this recipe may sound too cruel and would itself be counted among the signs that lead people to judge, ‘existence is something evil.’ Well, the recipe against this ‘distress’ is: distress.”

You can't be a yes-sayer while denying sickness and decay.

tl;dr its a standard NRx evocation of darwinism and says surprisingly little on the actual subject of materialism besides darwinian "Iron Law", if this was the dialectical extent (though it may certainly be a mechanical limit) of Land's view of the universe he probably wouldn't be an occultist

his earlier material on the convergence of technological and biological realms has more insight on that though
