>As a man, I can revel in my own inconsistencies, that is what we do, and the rough landscapes are precisely what is enjoyable and good.

and you're right to do so. in one of the other 9 million deleuze threads it was asked - so, how can we not say that deleuze is just a shill for neoliberal globalization? and the answer is, in a part, that he is urging those things, *provided that they give you joy.*

one reason, however paradoxical it might seem, to read land is to realize that you really cannot outsmart capitalism at its own game. the industrialized hellscapes of modernity don't have endgames of their own, they are autotelic endgames. they are a form of thinking understood by heidegger and by many others.

my own landposting is mostly there because i think he's a kind of visionary figure in that sense. but still: you really should enjoy your life, enjoy being human. i like the marxist stuff because it corrodes *cynicism* and not because it erodes joy or those feelings we really can call authentic being-in-the-world (and i really do believe in those).

so yeah. you should seek to find those genuine moments. they do matter. people knew modernity was a nightmare in 1927 and they know it now. that much hasn't changed. maybe we have some different theories about what it is, and why, but fundamentally the fact that you really should find a way to Live beyond widgetization...i mean, it's obvious.

i like land because the accelerationist blackpill collapses the floor under a lot of political bullshit and other jaded cynicism that i don't like. it certainly doesn't provide any solutions about what to do next (well, there's Optimize for Intelligence, but i still believe in the existential questions too, even if land doesn't).

yes, thank you. this is an important clarification.
