We are all aware (I think) of this divide that sprung up between the neorationalists and the libidinal materialists. The neorationalists being Negarestani, Wolfendale and Brassier
But who are the libidinal materialists? I don’t see any prominent figure who has a written a book called “In Defence of Libidinal Materialism” or whatever to counter the neorationalists

Landian Accelerationism - Nick Land’s philosophy eventually decoupled from human agency entirely. His later work frames intelligence as a cold, inhuman, self-upgrading optimization engine that views the human species as mere biological kindling for the hard silicon breakout. Modern interpretations have fueled the neo-reactionary movement (dark enlightenment) and adjacent TESCREAL backed technocratic belief systems.
Mark Fisher Realism - He understood that unchecked capital optimization doesn't lead to a wild, untamed cyberpunk future. It leads to Capitalist Realism, a state of bureaucratic, sterile stagnation. Fisher’s work on, The Weird and the Eerie, was about identifying the glitches, the ghosts of lost futures, and the outside forces, including acid communism, that rupture this artificial containment and monopolization by neocameralist oligarchs.
Where does this group stand now that Mark is gone and Land is continuing his work from China?
I thought people would appreciate the address of Thiel in Tori Amos’ recent album. The album follows a tech-billionaire’s wife coming back to her humanity against the dark enlightenment, questioning her role in it, and transforming into a dragon as to fight fire with fire, effectively.
‘The album follows the story of Tori trapped in a world run by billionaire tech moguls and lizard dragons, who threaten democracy through corporate greed and authoritarianism.
Amos says: “Jane Mayer writes about the genesis of this in Dark Money, which is one of the most important books people need to read if they’re asking, ‘How did we get here?’.
“This has been going on since the Seventies.
“As Mayer documents, figures like the Koch brothers — and I use that as an umbrella term for a wider movement — helped shape it, along with super PACs [organisations that spend millions supporting political candidates] and all the rest.
“It seems there was an understanding that progressive teaching in universities had to be excavated, cut back and penetrated by a very tight right-wing philosophy that is now upon us.’
“On this record, I had to take a personal journey and look at the effects of what this very small cabal of men is doing — and there are women involved too, we can’t get confused about that.
“There’s Cambridge Analytica, the involvements of the Mercers, Rebekah Mercer [the right-wing US heiress and political donor] and all those interconnections.”
The album’s story sees Amos’s character flee and reunite with her daughter’

The last few lyrics are from her 2007 album American Doll Posse, that sets out a critique of Bush’s presidency and other structures of power (music industry, western patriarchy) through locating the split female psyche through Ancient Greek archetypes.
‘American Doll Posse documents the lives of five women through their retrospective songs. Each girl represents a different part of the female psyche and the record explores their individuality as well as how strong and powerful they all are as a unit. Individually they all embody different female archetypes, but together they are the balanced female essence’

Sorry for the long-winded slightly unexplained post, but still I thought some of you would appreciate it.
Buy a leather jacket and a crotch rocket. Grow out my ponytail. Do computer tingies and numberometry with all my frens. I'm going to move to San Francisco and become speed buddies with a bunch of CCP spies. We're going to convince JD to get the CIA to drop leaflets over Tehran that inform the people that the IRGC has HIV. Yeah we do psyops. We eat primarily bananas and soylent. Sometimes if we're feeling like it we take the x dot com code boys out for ice cream and brush their long soft dark east asian hair while they suck down a cone or two. Vanilla, sprinkles, maybe a couple gummy bears on top if we're feeling bullish about the midterms.
I have not read Nick Land, so I just wonder.
Posted this screenshot a few months ago because I liked the drawing. But today Instagram removed the picture without a reason or explanation. What’s going on?
