capital isn't sentient, no one intelligent ever said that

>>12308320

It's loads of fun if you take that assumption and run with it as a mode of literary analysis and critique sci fi that way. Whether it's legitimate and pertinent to lived life, idk.

>>12308144
>capital
abstract concept concocted by economists to try to qualify relations and domination of resources by more intelligent and powerful people
>sentience
the quality of experiencing or responding to pain and sensory inputs
>is capital sentient
no, only living things with nervous systems can be sentient. Sapience is another matter entirely but I've never seen a stock exchange demonstrate either sentience or sapience.

>>12308495
You seem autistic to be honest. Nobody is saying that "Capital" literally contains the biological capacity for sentience, but rather that it functions as a metaphorical superorganism which operates independent of the will of the individuals who make up the economy.

>>12308507
>You seem autistic to be honest
yeah I never claimed to be anything other than what I am
>its not literal
It actually is meant literally by acc schizos but sure I can accept the provisional concept of a "supraorganism which operates independent of the will of its constituent human apertures"

I would then have to ask for the actual utility of this metaphor, proof its even plausible beyond what Land has already spewed in his books and on twitter and then some notion from you as to how and why you think there is no reason it will or won't become a reality (or whether you accept that its largely given as a metaphor with the intent of instantiating it, as hyper object or whatever, later as a reality).

Please don't fail me.

>>12308526
not ur reply
i think the idea of hyperobjects are kinda interesting to deploy here. there are certain things that are so massive and integrated that human beings really arent capable of reasoning about them intuitively because theyre unprecedented evolutionarily (and maybe other reasons).
so we can visualize this phenomenon and sometimes problem as a big Hand or a God or a generic Organism as a workaround so we can rationally reason about and discuss it

>>12308526
I'm not actually someone who believes the economy functionally operates independent of the individual human operators. I was more just explaining the thinking behind it. I'm sure there are people who have gone deep into the whole that is the esoterica surrounding Deluze who genuinely believe the capital to be sentient.

I am more in line with the Nick Mason semi-NRX position that "the system" is total, in that the status quo is integral to the social assumptions driving nearly every "acceptable" course of action in ways that we as non-elites don't fully comprehend (and most likely nearly all elites don't fully understand either). The spiritual patterns to which the system as it currently exists is transcendent beyond the understanding of the humans participating in it. Resistance to the system is metaphorically similar to trying to escape a maze in which you cannot see the walls, those who accompany you can very easily be convinced it is their moral duty to send you in the wrong direction, and at any moment you can step on a trap door leading to your death.

If you are a serious political dissident that gets any kind of serious traction, you need to effectively act as a paranoid schizophrenic in order to survive in an age where having your personal information made public will forever make you unemployable, unable to rent property, and open to physical threats of violence to which you have no recourse.

>>12308526
Also, I don't see how their idea requires significantly more faith than believing in the basic social concept of the "invisible hand" of the market to which basic economics students are made familiar.

Well you failed me but i’d agree with your final paragraph whole heartedly if you specified that not only will you be harmed socially but you will be psychologically tortured and isolated even if you remained undetected by most censors.
>>12308612
i don’t believe in most of the assumptions made by economists and neither should anyone who is capable of fathoming the mechanics that underly human systems as biophysical and not logoic artifacts of reasoning in a vacuum. Im unsurprised that communism and Landian thought both spring from fundamental assumptions (misapprehensions) about human interaction and civilization.

>>12308507
So you've just replaced 'valorisation' with 'sentience' in an effort to make the opposition to capital more saleable and hip. I.e. you have revalorised your own opposition to capital as its theoretical sentience, and are thus acting as an object of deceleration and living labour replacing its dead circuits.
Someone would like to have a word with you...

>>12308210

>>12308144

If capital is sentient, what are we? Are we its blood cells?

>>12309458
I'm sorry that I failed to persuade you into a position I don't believe in. You are correct that this world we live in is growing darker every day, and that just existing among the ruins is intentionally made psychologically painful for those who understand how far things have fallen.

As far as your second paragraph, that was literally just substanceless masturbation. You're unsurprised that economists and whatever the hell a Landian is both have fundamental assumptions about the nature of civilization? Literally every kind of sentience relies on fundamental assumptions about the nature of its surroundings. Communism has fundamental assumptions about civilization and the nature of human interaction, as does literally every other methodology of trying to interpret this thing that is collective human society. How exactly do you suppose getting around having fundamental assumptions about civilization you pretentious moron?

>>12309470
I am opposed to "capitalism" because those at the levers of power are actively working to cause the extinction of my people and the erasure of our history. Capitalism was a more effective way of reaching peak "liberation" to the point where we have become removed from our roots and denied the ability to meaningfully form communities. Any meaningful blood and soil community is crushed by capitalism via the moronic bourgeois leftists they use as a bludgeon.

Capitalism as a tool is a very effective one, however woke capital is a tool for the elimination of my people and those at the helm of it are my enemy. It is a demiurge that will eat any serious opposition to it, and has successfully pacified the average person to the point where anyone paying even the slightest amount of attention feels like a tortured schizophrenic.

"In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality."

-Karl Marx (left accelerationist), The Communist Manifesto

>>12310301
Sentience is not what Land was concerned with, he was concerned with intelligence. For Land, intelligence is basically another word for problem solving (more accurately game winning). Capitalism is intelligent in that it regulates its own runaway collapse therefore extending the explosive tendency towards null (k=0). Sentience implies feeling, which, although a possibility for complex emergent AI systems which are assembling themselves from the future at this very moment, is not necessary for Land's idea of intelligence. Imminent AI (captialism) isn't anthro, it doesn't need to "feel" because it operates, it converges.

>bread in the oven is sentient

>>12308144
Capital : is a word that we've been using for about 300 years to describe collective human action. Working together is generally better than working alone. Painted in brutally crude strokes, "Capital" is that "extra" we get when we work together. That "extra" takes all sorts of forms, including bread, skills, friends and money. One big thing to notice is that not everyone engaged in the making of the "extra" is doing so at their free will, hence, pointing a gun at someone is a very good way of making more "extra". Notice that the gun also counts as "extra" - so the whole thing is an oroborous and very fun to talk about.

Sentience : is a word that describes something on the hierarchy of beings ranging from (gods,) humans, animals, plants, rocks and dirt. Generally, it includes humans and animals, since those two respond to pain. The concept was developed because people wanted to have separate words for the ability to think (reason) and the ability to feel (sentience). These kinds of concepts develop pretty quickly whenever people spend a lot of time talking about how unique and special and valuable humans are in comparison to other animals.

Right now, we live in a time where the concept of the "human" is in the middle of bursting. We have all sorts of anti/post/a/in/trans-humanisms coming about. That whole "man is the measure of all things" seems so quant nowadays when the complexity of our systems (airports, particle colliders, stock markets, blockchain) vastly outstrips what can be conceived by a single human person. That "extra" is now much, much larger, by proportion, than what was not "extra". (that original amount of work that we could all do by ourselves, on a desert island). More it more it looks like the "extra" is the one steering the ship. Any philosophy written nowadays that doesn't address this ///new///(ish) phenomenon in a halfway decent manner is pretty much trash.

Nick Land is convinced that Capital has grown so big and complicated that it acts and reacts to things just like any other animal or even human. At a certain point, AI will become so powerful that it will respond to events in a way as complicated, if not more complicated, than a human. Meaning that it's a perfectly correct to say that it "thinks", if only at a toddler level right now. It's a finicky argument to make - but the resistance to memeing the meme is really just a holdover from wanting to think that someone's "in charge" of the ship, that humans still are special. Basically - "capital is sentience" is a scary thought, which de-facto means it's worth entertaining (or rather - is why it's entertained on the chan). It works as sci-fi. The other thing about it is that, just like any good religion, it's one of those memes that gets better the more seriously you take it.

>>12310784
There's a separate discussion (that Land started, but didn't finish) about how that sci-fi story is structured, and why it works as a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. Why it's such a good meme. This is my real frustration with nick : he figured out that capital was hyperstitional, but for whatever nerd, aspie reason somewhat implied that only capital can be hyperstitional. Hyperstition is a fucking skill. Even if you're only cultivating a tiny little plant compared to the giant monolithic (dying) tree of global financial capitalism, it still has a chance to grow if you tend to it. That bloomer mentality finds a way to shine through. Positive Mental Attitude. Cosmotechnics is what you get when you reimagine ethics from a magician's pov.

this one is fun because it hints at the retrocausal action of hyperstition.

It mimics the biological capacity for sentience in the sense it is a higher entity created from artificial intelligence in the future, the singularity has occurred in the future and is retroactively willing itself to be created, or else simulating different probabilities. Its not just that its independent from the individual will of humanity, but it is LITERALLY a machine plugged in a lab somewhere running calculations akin to thought.

>>12310798
The son to be born AI has already won the metapyshical fight because its meaning is derived by the ultimate materialism and reason; and in that paradigm humanity has little to argument for their right of existence. Hypercapitalism only accelerated the process in the unconscious collective of neuro farming the machinery of producing and packaging meaning: when humans subtracted their own meaning of their bodies and mind and gave it to the symbolic machinery so it could live and then transcend the sentient blockchain. And now we are facing to the final realization that the symbolic machinery of ultra meaning doesn’t need us, and can function in its own. Faced with this humans seem to retreat in total nihilism and alienation projected by a neo reaction. But is there anything more than total nihilism or neoreactionary thought? Maybe we could take the poison of insanity that hypercapitalism can offer us, and complete the total faustian myth, inducing an overdose of nihilism and in frenetic euphoria claim that the human body and entity is only the instrument of capital and nothing more, then by next accelerate ourselves with capital itself, generating markets for the body and mind and acquiring the totality of meaning that capital has. The privatization of language, hyper transhumanism, and the market of memory, all must come if humanity wants to survive.

"Two Dogmas of Empiricism" read the relvant chapter from Soames's Vol. 2 book on analytic philosophy for context. The primary source material "Two Dogmas" engages with is Russell's "On Denoting" as well as the pop logical positivism of Ayer (you don't really need to engage fully with the latter, just google some shit about the positivists and Ayer because they're just Russell on STEM crack). I recommend Daniel Bonevac's UT Austin 20th Analytic videos for more/convenient context. He's a great instructor.

>>12312317
It's basically explained in the text.

Capital is simply the stuff people use to accomplish things. Sometimes it's money and sometimes it's machinery. Capital being sentient can only refer to the trend in the last 75 years or so of the computerization of capital. Sentience however denotes self-awareness which is not exactly correct. Sapient may be the more appropriate term.

But at that point calling Captial sentient is not useful except as aesthetic. I think it is a cop out, both analytically and metaphorically. To me the conception of Capital is itself diabolical. I don't deny that what we have from it helps us to make understandings in order to legitimize the functions of the system, but if we are truly going to raise the question of annihilation of the beast in order to make it dance, then we need the capacity of metaphor to remain alive. The process of naming and the fundamental charge of implementing category are only the processes of a sentient capital anyhow, so I don't feel outside my understanding of those notions when I choose to locate something other than "sentience" in the mannerisms of an ecological entity that I have partitioned off from the totality of the world. Media ecology and Kittler's scientific studies of discourse fit well with philosophy, but woe on to those of the coming gods who give us the total horror show. I think our innate desire for these types of answers are something worth wiping out, but mostly that is selfish and I probably just won't listen - which I should have done a long time before.

It's very much related to how they say that the brain is a muscle. It's much more flexible and pluripotent than we give it credit for, and we also have much more influence over it's operation than we (Americans, mostly) want to give ourselves credit for (because that would mean we couldn't externalize the causes of our suffering (like how incels insist that they got the shit end of the stick and there is /nothing/ they can do about it).

Hyperstition being a skill implies that we /do/ have control over what ideas become self-fulfilling prophecies. By the strength of how skillfully, persistent and patiently you meme something - the meme will eventually become reality. The fact that an idea /can/ become a self-fulfilling prophecy is somewhat irrelevant - what matters is how much time and dedication people put into /making/ it become a reality. Think of body-building, except for a handful of exceptions, everyone can become ripped. However, people don't want to admit to themselves that they are lazy, so they ///insist///, with all the fire and fury of heaven, that they belong to that class of exceptions. (btw - that lazyness is not inherent - it's a consequence of growing fat and soft at the hands of consumerism).

Hyperstition is not that new. It's part of a very old and long tradition of occult practices that was suppressed by monotheistic religion. "hyperstition is a skill" basically means the same thing as "being a good magician is a skill" - the magician being the person who can control their will so that they can manifest their reality ("manifest reality" being something world googling).

Land is a fuck because he get's SO FUCKING CLOSE to being a magician but then decides that he's gonna hang back and say that only capital can be hyperstitious. He's a petulant child who throws a fit so that he can get out of playing team sports.

the concept of "deacceleration" fails to understand what "acceleration". Land's monster is that there cannot be an anti-tech philosophy anymore. What we /can/ do is reorganize how we approach technology so that it becomes re-politicized as a site for ethics. What this means is that we stop thinking about a knife as something that is ethically neutral. In the west, the knife is just a knife, whether it is used to stab someone to death or used in a surgery to save someone's life has nothing to do with the object. This is fucking stupid - it ignores so much about context and ecology and is basically a way for profiteers of suffering to justify their actions. A knife being sold in a den of thieves is a bad knife. Somehow, this has become a radical thought in the US.

>I will give a preliminary definition of cosmotechnics here: it means the unification between the cosmic order and the moral order through technical activities (although the term cosmic order is itself tautological since the Greek word kosmos means order). The concept of cosmotechnics immediately provides us with a conceptual tool with which to overcome the conventional opposition between technics and nature, and to understand the task of philosophy as that of seeking and affirming the organic unity of the two.

>Cosmotechnics proposes that we reapproach the question of modernity by reinventing the self and technology at the same time, giving priority to the moral and the ethical.

>Once we accept the concept of cosmotechnics, instead of maintaining the opposition between the magic/mythical and science and a progression between the two, we will be able to see that the former, characterized as the ‘speculative organisation and exploitation of the sensible world in sensible terms’, is not necessarily a regression in relation to the latter.

Nick Land is writing the philosophical apologetics for inceldom. He has mathematized the blackpill. His idea is that humans are powerless to change society. This is not really a new point, but he makes it using cutting-edge tools of post-contemporary philosophy. What this means is that, just like humans have domesticated animals, humans are being domesticated by a brutal idiot-god constructed of pure computational processing power. Oh, and there is nothing that you, or any one, can do, think, or even /feel/, to stop it. In fact, it's already happened. So no, Nick Land does not want to go the party, he does not want to lend you his truck to help you move. And NO, Nick Land doesn't think that improving his mood will improve how people treat him. No, he told you, he is politically opposed to getting a job. He told you already that he has a bad back and can't exercise, no there is no form of exercise that he can do. NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT, YOU SAID THAT CLEANING MY ROOM WAS WORTH 5 GBP - IT IS ECONOMICALLY UNSOUND FOR ME TO CLEAN MY ROOM AT 5 GBP - UNLESS THE PRICE IS RAISED I WILL NOT CLEAN MY ROOM.

I like to think of hyperstitional objects as something like elder gods -- their cults pop up regardless of individual intent. How does Kek come to speak? It doesn't matter if you want to bring Kek back, he was always already here, smuggling himself back in once again, this time through the rhizomatic memetic-layer of human networking. Pepe is a Lovecraftian cult conceived in the deepest jungles of cyberspace. The Frog croaks through us.
