the weird frontier between internet culture and the continental tradition
are these guys the saviors of philosophy?

Does Land have any longer texts I can read? I find his website and articles interesting, but I'd like to find a more continuous version of his thinking.
I often feel like he's alluding to things I should have already read, things he wrote before.

sounds like a charlatan
>>9224586
his books are great
Nick Land is David from Prometheus. If given the chance he woulds sell us all out to a entity from another plane or synthetics. I bet he is a worshiper of some kind of twisted chaotic entity. He is a tzimisce in human flesh, if such a thing is possible. Capitalism is going to lead us to the next evolution of life, synthetic beings.

Of course not.

Fanged Noumena

Fanged Noumena, but it's mostly gibberish.
It's Nick Land and who is the Dark Souls character and the guy holding a PS2?

Fanged Noumena has a few great pieces mixed in with weird shit, though a lot of the gibberish has some intent behind it.
Critique of Transcendental Miserablism is a huge kick in the dick to Marxism.
Barker Speaks is obliquely describing a cthonic nightmare lurking just beneath human understanding, broken up into digestible chunks by language which he posits as a sort of Geo-Freudian defense mechanism.
KatasoniX is an attempt to get past that semiotic limitation (remember, language deflects reality and can never grasp it) and transmit pure horror.
Overall I think the latter half of the book is best. The first half is meta-analysis of various philosophers and traditions and kind of interesting but very dry. The later essays are where you get the proper techno-horror we love Land for.
