i get you fella. 'tis i, girardfag. you shared your story with me in one of the earlier threads, you're one of my favorite posters on Ye Olde Tap-Dancing forum.

i think i'm sometimes feeling sucked towards one of those manic singularities myself - good for fiction, ever the dream - but sometimes can make one a little topsy-turvy also.

anyways, just wanted to wish you well and to say thanks for the super-interesting and provocative adventure in metaphysics. always a treat.

why not just become a rationalist about it tho? land's point is that capital as intelligence means something more than just the circulation of money/commodity.

if we've learned anything about politics in the 20C it's that making everything dependent on man's control leads to pogrom and genocide in the name of ideology.

in terms of critique of ideology, land is the black hat to zizek's white hat (and i guess JBP's Lobster Hat). when we look for ways to hate on machine intelligence all we come up with is guilt and rage. let's try something different

yeah. i'm having one of those Land Moments these days. he's like the best argument for a rationalist turn in philosophy, which i think would just be so fucking great
>or maybe it's just because it's only hitting me now that rationalism is p fucking cool after all this continental stuff

i'd love to talk to land although i'd probably just be starry-eyed retard about the whole thing and just want to give him a hug, which is probably not his thing
