I think the general misconception is that life becomes a-sort-of romanticized literary experience. I.e. latency.

عبد الواحد يحيى was the most important European thinker in the past 300 years and Nick Land is a shitty washed up ex-drug addict who writes cringe future dystopian imitations of Burroughs that only puts on pretensions of serious philosophical or metaphysical thought. Nick Land pilfers the pockets of his hapless fans by tricking them into thinking that reifying the aestheticization of Terminators 2 somehow passes for eloquence in certain quarters. News flash, it doesn't! That I even have to say this is sad. عبد الواحد يحيى in one fell swoop masterfully revealed the sacred thread and primordial tradition of metaphysical realization secretly penetrating throughout all of history, exposed the hapless and impotent charade that passes for post-scholastic 'western philosophy', and sketched out the causes for the decline of the modern west and how to save it; all with the precision of a mathematician and the eloquence of a prophet; to him we are eternally indebted.

All this talk of 'capital' and the 'techno-capitalist acceleration' is just shadows on the wall of Plato's cave compared to the Absolute. Time is cyclical and this stage has happened over and over again. The impending final doom that Land masturbates to like a sadomasochist teenager will never happen. The problems we encounter have to do with that we are in the cycle of universal manifestation characterized by disorder and disharmony, the Kali Yuga; which is also described in various ways by other Traditions in addition to the Sanatana Dharma. During this Yuga like all Yugas, the highest goal and final aim of conscious beings remains the same. The red-flag for catching pseuds like Land so you can decide it's not worth reading them is if they are really into Cybernetics (check) and if they read a lot of or a really influenced by atheist authors like Bataille (check). Their atheism totally cuts them from any chance of apprehending the eternal metaphysical truth and they get into all this weird computer stuff as cope to escape from their sense of meaninglessness in the void. Land-fans, when you grow up we'll finally be waiting for you up here on the highest level.

you retards couldn't tell what David Foster Wallace's writing is if it came out your ass, the DFW all you twats refer to comes from his editors which is the shitty retarded version of the original writing compared to his early works which stays way truer to his style. You all are fascinated with turds like Infinite Jest and the Pale King that is most likely the farthest and least familiar with the intricacies of David Foster Wallace's mind aka not genuis but some shit hipsters love to praise. As a student studying English but more so post-modernism i can't help but cringe everytime I see you discuss "Infinite Jest" its more so some shit-his editors took in and adapted to their imagination. You guys read the meme trilogy and become a post-modern expert and maybe even understand DFW itself? gtfo, read The Broom of The System so you can get rid of your consumerist prejudices
