And there should be more.

"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

Yo, I saw his twitter yesterday. And he literally treats the shitshow of capital like he is watching an amusing movie about a civilisation in the process of disintegration. He doesn't even believe in anything. What actual fuck? What is his philosophy? What is accelerationism? Does he worship Stirner? Is he a contemporary cynic who sit on his comfortable chair to watch and laugh just to cope with wretched existence?

land's the kind of writer who inspired a loose but brilliant generation of artists and theorists, all of whom denounce what he eventually became. he seems to still believe in things, somehow, but it's hard to say if he's really trying to bring on the usurpation of humanity by machine intelligence, or if he's just putting that on as an act to mask a terrible, boring moral conservatism

mark fisher, reza negarestani, kode9 are the people who fit most squarely into land's 'sphere of influence' so to speak. land's essays are kinda deliberately cryptic-- it's not really as hard as deleuze/guattari but it's trying to be. imo the starting place for his actual decent work should always be Meltdown

in terms of philosophical rigor it's not going to blow your dick or anything, i know people argue that Land had some lasting influence in how people approach kantian alterity or whatever the fuck, but it doesn't really make a difference to me
for me it's because i like reading about technology and its impacts on people, land does a good job of incorporating cybernetics and he's in some ways a more clever reader of marx than, say, baudrillard was

wait, really? i've avoided land for some reason bc his fans always strike me as schizos. but i was a big fan of the the k-punk blog (which is admittedly schizo a bit) and was probably one of the only people to buy kode9's book 'sonic warefare'.

what is a good starting point for land?

Nick Land was so 2018-2019 it wonders me that people are still thinking that there's just something special about him, he better stick to writing fiction for now, his philosophical output was shitty and trivial at best. Anglos shouldn't be tasked to handle continental thinking.

Now that Neo-China is near, the only logical next step is to actually begin reading CCP philosopher like Wang Huning which is 100000x better than Land.

Machinic Desire in my opinion was way more understandable than meltdown. Even if it is less entertaining and more theory-like.

Key concepts to understand from what I gather are:
-a basic conception of Freud's mapping of the mind
-a basic understanding of Marx and historical materialism
-as much Deleuze and Guattari as fits in your head (I'm still not very well versed in these two yet I could make some sense out of Machinic Desire)

>In the late 1970s, at a time when what is today called gender history was mostly conceived of as women's history, driven by the effort to make women—female agency, impact, and suffering—visible in a male-dominated world, the German literary scholar Klaus Theweleit drew attention to the emotional world and gendered “phantasies” of men. It was a special group of men that Theweleit examined, however: the German Freikorps soldiers who, in the aftermath of World War I, and in a spirit of authoritarianism, militarism, nationalism, and misogynistic resentment, fought a civil war against democrats, socialists, communists, Jews, and women. In Theweleit's view, Freikorps men radicalized common Western and German norms about male self-control and “hard” masculinity into a perpetual war against women and femininity. It was not least the femininity that existed within men, as a desire for domesticity, tenderness, and compassion, that the men of the Freikorps wanted to “defeat.” Driven by the loss of a firm identity and ubiquitous fears of sexuality and states of liquidity, these men and their “male fantasies” spearheaded the rise and heralded the devastating impact of the Third Reich, according to Theweleit. Although his work was empirically based on a limited number of autobiographical writings by the individuals he examined, Theweleit, inspired by post-Freudian psychoanalysis, understood his findings in a quasi-universal sense: masculinity, male solidarity, and, above all, the steeled, armored male body appeared as the engines of a patriarchal order, with “perpetrator-men” and “victim-women” juxtaposed dichotomously.

It really isn't. He just copied the beginning of Thus Spake Zarathustra and framed himself as an aggressive badass when everyone can see he is a frail man trying to escape life.

the time period where i was reading k-punk likely preceded the time period where nick land developed the following he got over the last few years, so i probably just never clocked him or did and forgot about him.

Try reading Land.
He's not a pseud maybe you're just a brainlet who gets filtered by neologisms and the best philosopher of the millennium.
