Nurses should’ve dedicated their lives to more important causes, like
‘giving Reaganism an edgy cyberpunk gloss so easily impressed academic
leftists take it seriously’
Nick Land really is the most amazing embarrassment of all time
although I do think it speaks poorly of all continental philosophy that he was ever one of them
you can write the same exact poorly conceived bullshit for 20 years as long as you tip your fedora to the right gods, whichever side you're on
I don’t think I could lay the blame for Nick Land at Derrida or Foucault’s feet, much less Habermas’s
I’ve read a lot of continental philosophy, I *like* a lot of continental philosophy, even though my training has mostly been in the analytic school of thought
It’s reductive to say all this stuff about tipping your hat to the right gods and getting by on that
>Nurses doing some cringe thing to feel better about their slave existence during a pandemic: creepy, cultish.
>Tired cyberpunk dystopian who refuses to express anything as other than an insurmountable lovecraftian beast: not a cult, important, not creepy, necessary.
Beautiful. Also
>They're the ones who make sure you don't suffocate on your own secretions while vented, you arborescent do-nothing.
Sometimes, Nick Land is an extremely smart guy who says things that
deserve to be responded to. For example, he stripped libertarian
economics of its infantile humanism and gave it a superior theoretical
grounding.
Other times - and this other Nick Land is the only one who appears
these days - he’s a sub-Fox News boomer moron who expects Shillary to be
arrested any day now.
He's an extremely smart guy, who uses it on being interesting but never at any point actually *good*.
Like, not ever. Even his '90s stuff was much more along the lines of "interesting" than actually good.
I'll concede it *inspired* a lot of people, and that's not nothing.
(Well, some of his fiction is good. [It's all on libgen.])
Ah yes, this guy sure talks to people who exist, in real life, where he is a regular visitor.
Come on Nick, that’s not a nurse, it’s just shadow people. Stop talking to them and have some sleep ffs.

One thing I love about Nick Land is how badly he’s dealt with the inevitability of either dying or eventually becoming middle-aged
He just can’t handle the fact he never died in a blaze of glory and just isn’t cool anymore
Amphetamine junkies like your man here either die a suicide-case or get old enough to face their own cowardice
woman bad
My favorite part of this tweet is Land just getting btfo’d in the comments.
what does that even mean

That’s a bad take on their part
Who is this man child?
Okay, but I’m grabbing “Sociopolitical deep injury from which any hope of recovery is unimaginable” as my Twitter bio.
Don’t make me tap the sign
No but really this is funny as fuck and I’ll allow it but just keep it in mind
This is the guy who gave us lines like these
