To expand on this a little bit, Nick Land makes the distinction between the blockchain, and Blockchain. The example: the difference between 'what is the time?' and 'what is Time?'; the debate between which specific blockchain will come to represent Blockchain is a sort of flaccid question at this point. The point is that Blockchain as a concept has escaped from its box into ours, so to speak, and it is looking like the best we can settle for is critique (probably why Land takes the Blockchain question straight to Kantian matters: the problem of Space-Time). To limit the critique to neoliberalism is to miss the scope of the technological shift; the Baudrillardian Simulacra of Capital itself goes far beyond domination of the market.

It think Hegel's real accelerationist power came from his notion of Giest as being the true articulation of absolute reason. Hegel is, as Land notes, 'too humane', he does not seem able to comprehend (or admit) the uncomfortable fact that mankind may not be the ultimate vehicle for aufheben. I think this is why Land mentions him as a senile incarnation of Judgement, the transition from Kant's strictly limited phenomenal judgement to Hegel's imminent transcendence in the act of judgement itself. If transcendence is imminent, it is only imminent in the absolute. Land recognized that cyberpositive circuits were aiming to sidestep the whole human project (and it wont desublimate anything). Kant will not be surpassed because surpassing Kant means surpassing subjectivity, a goal which was never meant for us in the first place.
