Hey you fucking literature board faggots, your boy just cashed in a quarter bitcoin to pay for another night of Thai ladyboys – the good kind. Oh, you think neoChina is for the likes of you? Come on pal, how many times have you read Fanged Noumena? Once? Twice? That book is for faggots you fucking faggots read Eugen Böhm Ritter von Bawerk and Moldbugs latest blog post, maybe you can break a speed limit for once in your life. I've been living on the Outside for nearly 4 years, I've attended over 200 EDM festivals (seen Aphex Twin twice), gone through 7 speed plugs (buying in qp's now), and oh yeah, did I mention the ladyboys? I bet you faggots haven't snorted so much as Ritalin off an erect feminine penis let alone the sort of designer amphetamines I'm snorting tonight, and Sheba is hard as diamonds right now so you know what my plans are. I saw a homeless guy last night begging for cash so I made him try and read A zIIgothIc–==X=coDA==–(CookIng–lobsteRs– wIth–jAke–AnD–DInos) and when he can't do it me and my friends called him a slow-slug and threw ammonia on him then called him a stupid faggot. That's the kind of shit I get off on. I like going fast, and this fucking board is slow, which is why I you LARPERS will never achieve levels of speed like this; I've taken to slicking my hair back to help emphasize the momentum. Me and Nick Land discuss important political issues on twitter REGULARLY. I can hear you whining already, but there's no need in replying, I've already left this shit backwater board. Hit me up on soundcloud if you want a cheap hookup on speed, bitcoin or chainlink only.
PS.
Oh yeah just forgot to add that you pussies wouldn't even know the difference between a particle accelerator and an outhouse; maybe you should have taken a stem course instead of going bankrupt learning shit tier modal logic. speaking of outhouses, anyone who's anyone in the accelerationist game has a toilet that not only talks to them, it analyzes and diagnoses their stool. what? yours doesn't even have so much as an lcd display? well maybe if you faggots had accelerated anything ever you would have the money to move somewhere civilized like Singapore or China, places where they don't even know what outhouses are. Guess what? In Guangdong you can pay your taxes in crypto and half the streetcorners have a couple of wengs slinging pure ephedrine. Even done an eight-strip while your black/chinese trans dominatrix screams hare krishna at the top of her lungs and swaps out the onaholes on your prototype VR masterbation rig every time you say the word neoreaction? (our safe word is Musk). Anyways, on my way out, got a virtual bitcoin conference to attend in a few hours and me and my girl Sheba have a few ideas on how to fill the time if you know what I mean. Speed it up already. Posted from my google glasses by the way, I'm a big fan of those crazy memes, takes a little while to type but it's a small price to pay to make Gnon happy.

he agrees with Moldbug that the basic formula of politics is 'sovereignty is conserved' meaning there is always some extremely unequal hierarchy of power, and he agrees that it is best that this is formalized, and that it allows for order to be created. Very right wing perspective.

Where Land differs is his value system(lol) and his understanding of human civilization with regard to his wider ontology.

Seems a weird way to formulate 'sovereignty is conserved' but whatever doesn't matter. Land explicitly supports constitutional republicanism and minimal government in a way which is really hard to see as very different from extremely standard libertarianism (especially with how much he used to go on about 'exit') which is directly at odds with Moldbug or any real reactionary element at all unless you have a ridiculously wide definition of reactionary. "where land differs" is pretty much everything except for some very basic elements and the idea that sovereignty is conserved really isnt that radical

>There were ages of darkness, and then enlightenment came. Clearly, advance has demonstrated itself, offering not only improvement, but also a model. Furthermore, unlike a renaissance, there is no need for an enlightenment to recall what was lost, or to emphasize the attractions of return. The elementary acknowledgement of enlightenment is already Whig history in miniature.
>Once certain enlightened truths have been found self-evident, there can be no turning back, and conservatism is pre-emptively condemned – predestined — to paradox. F. A. Hayek, who refused to describe himself as a conservative, famously settled instead upon the term ‘Old Whig’, which – like ‘classical liberal’ (or the still more melancholy ‘remnant’) – accepts that progress isn’t what it used to be. What could an Old Whig be, if not a reactionary progressive? And what on earth is that?
>Of course, plenty of people already think they know what reactionary modernism looks like, and amidst the current collapse back into the 1930s their concerns are only likely to grow. Basically, it’s what the ‘F’ word is for, at least in its progressive usage.

>(4) Dismantling of state monetary and fiscal discretion, thus abolishing practical macroeconomics and liberating the autonomous (or ‘catallactic’) economy. (This point is redundant, since it follows rigorously from 2 & 3 above, but it’s the real prize, so worth emphasizing.)

And the most prominent example of him dealing with 'sovereignty is conserved' on xenosystems is in The Odysseus problem were he still very plainly retains an unwillingness to abandon the ideal of a government limited by a constitution despite it not restraining in America since he thinks it still might work elsewhere (wonder why a reactionary and not a libertarian would be interested in restraining sovereign power at all.

not him but he would rather state power operate under a corporate structure, which would imply (I assume) something closer to a board than a head; oligarchy rather than despotism.

That's not really advocating for republicanism, note the parenthesis that follows, he's just saying that would be a step towards his 'western renaissance' scenario, because it is far less retarded than what exists now.

He supports these things for capitalist and not reactionary motives and when it comes to anything more immediate their inclinations come out and theey are nothing alike. How Landian does Moldbug's A Letter To France sound? Land saying "yeah that would be good" about a fewthings like joint-stock corps being sovereign in a patchwork scenario doesnt really amount to very much

This blog post seems to outline exactly our disagreement here re: monarchy vs. democracy vs republicanism.
http://www.xenosystems.net/casino-royale/

The gist of it seems to be that Land would much prefer monarchy to the present but he has a vision of a future where
>For our purposes here, the concept of ‘constitutional government’ can be quite exactly specified, to refer to a blueprint for the mechanism of power that achieves cybernetic closure. An adequate constitution designs a fragmentation of authority, such that each element is no less controlled than controlling, with the result that sovereignty emerges from a distributed system, rather than inhering in concentrated form within any particular node. The simplest model for such a system is a dynamic triangle, comparable to the circuit of paper-scissors-stone, in which power flows nonlinearly, or circulates.

And Land thinks that republicanism of some sort could lend itself to this. I find this rather wishful thinking but I have to admit you're right about his preferences, I was wrong. He's explicit here:
>Republicanism, like monarchy, has a rich and deep historical archive of examples to draw upon, dating back to classical antiquity. The confusion between republican government and democracy is a recent and unfortunate eventuality. The historical reasons for this confusion are by no means trivial, but nor do they point inexorably to the monarchist conclusion. It is especially important to consider the possibility that the demotic destruction of monarchical regimes, and of functional republics, has been a parallel process, rather than a succession (in which republicanism served as an intermediate stage of political disorganization). A detailed historical analysis of the 1848 revolutions would bring out some of the complexity this topic introduces. In particular, it raises the question why the model of the Dutch Republic (1581-1795) was unable to offer a template for constitutional government of effective relevance beyond the Anglosphere. From the perspective of constitutional republicanism, the limited influence of the Dutch example marks a fatal historical bifurcation, exposing the European peoples to a calamitous bi-polar struggle between monarchical and democratic forces (from which our present ruin was hatched). It is also immediately evident from this perspective that the emergence of advanced capitalistic economic organization is inextricable from the propagation of the Dutch model (transplanted into the UK by the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and from there to the Anglophone New World). Since capitalism epitomizes cybernetic closure — a system without uncontrolled nodes — these connections should not surprise us.

Apparently I didn't read Land as closely as I thought, here is he calling the Glorious revolution an emancipation of capital concurrent with a degradation of concentrated authority.

With all his stuff scattered all over the place and him not being the most consistent about things like that its a pretty easy thing to overlook. If I remember right I only noticed it when I saw he mentioned in a comments section something along the lines of the results of republics being mixed at worst and the results of monarchy being mixed at best

you idiots are confuising land's post-meta ironic support for neo cameralism for genuine political support. there is no hope even in neo cameralism, its only that that discussion of that strain of thought (which land i guess predicted would emerge) plays the part of further destabalisation of the nation state on the part of capital. moldbug is like the promised prophet to gnon.

the actual project itself is irrelevant its only the whirlwind that is generated from the proliferation of those ideas that matters. nick himself has said nrx is dead and he's waiting for the next thing to happen

Land didn't even show up on the scene until at least 5 years after it kicked off, and he doesn't even agree with them on the best way to emancipate capital, which, again, we have discussed above. Were he to invent his own movement for shilling purposes it would be different, in fact he often mentions how likely it is that NRx would just decay into Fascism if it gained any steam.

عبد الواحد يحيى was the most important European thinker in the past 300 years and Nick Land is a shitty washed up ex-drug addict who writes cringe future dystopian imitations of Burroughs that only puts on pretensions of serious philosophical or metaphysical thought. Nick Land pilfers the pockets of his hapless fans by tricking them into thinking that reifying the aestheticization of Terminators 2 somehow passes for eloquence in certain quarters. News flash, it doesn't! That I even have to say this is sad. عبد الواحد يحيى in one fell swoop masterfully revealed the sacred thread and primordial tradition of metaphysical realization secretly penetrating throughout all of history, exposed the hapless and impotent charade that passes for post-scholastic 'western philosophy', and sketched out the causes for the decline of the modern west and how to save it; all with the precision of a mathematician and the eloquence of a prophet; to him we are eternally indebted.

All this talk of 'capital' and the 'techno-capitalist acceleration' is just shadows on the wall of Plato's cave compared to the Absolute. Time is cyclical and this stage has happened over and over again. The impending final doom that Land masturbates to like a sadomasochist teenager will never happen. The problems we encounter have to do with that we are in the cycle of universal manifestation characterized by disorder and disharmony, the Kali Yuga; which is also described in various ways by other Traditions in addition to the Sanatana Dharma. During this Yuga like all Yugas, the highest goal and final aim of conscious beings remains the same. The red-flag for catching pseuds like Land so you can decide it's not worth reading them is if they are really into Cybernetics (check) and if they read a lot of or a really influenced by atheist authors like Bataille (check). Their atheism totally cuts them from any chance of apprehending the eternal metaphysical truth and they get into all this weird computer stuff as cope to escape from their sense of meaninglessness in the void. Land-fans, when you grow up we'll finally be waiting for you up here on the highest level.
