/lit/ - Literature

So Land and Accelerationism and all this stuff is certainly good for noggin mastication.

The propagation and dissemination of these sorts of ideas on somewhere like 4chan and in particular /lit/ is also pretty intriguing for me. Like who else is actually going to bother reading through all this stuff if not time rich, meaningful activity poor lit neeks?

Will be fun watching these ideas percolate, I mean obviously they already are but the fact that these threads seem to be increasing in frequency and "accelerating" is fascinating in and of itself.

I'm a fucking stupid pleb but just to throw my worthless tuppence into the pile of burning faggots, I'd be inclined to agree that the only alternative to a headlong dive into this stuff is a form of disengaged silence. Wether that be through Wittgenstein, Zen, Buddhism or some sort of corporatised managerial "mindfullness". I don't think the specific strain or genre of silence is necessarily important, more that the process of just sitting and not doing engenders something that is the antithesis of nuerotic self replicating capital.

I also find it all a bit melodramatic, like sure everything feels a bit fucked and messy and maybe the shiny bio-punk AI overlords will either destroy or redeem us, but maybe they won't. Maybe all that will happen is a long slow movement into some sort of anti-climatic middle ground that still leaves humans doing the same things we've been doing for millenia. Grubbing around in the dirt and blindly stumbling through life, occasionally grasping the odd insight here and there.

Basically I sometimes feel that all these high falutin' bleeding edge technological doomsday/rapture/utopian theories are really just a way to distract from the mundane and banal everyday realities of our lives and boring and banal humans.

You will probably just get old and tired and fat like most people and the AI/Capital/Gnon/God won't save you or damn you to hell. If anything "it" won't give a fuck.

Anyway, that's a ramble. Probably makes no sense.
