Is his prior work worth reading despite his recent involvement with NRx movements?
What is the deal with Nick Land?
...
His work is worth reading, and that's only bolstered by his abandonment of the cathedral left.
Obviously it's not something you'd look to for any form of study, but I wondered if the qualities of the works themselves were worth reading and if they contained themes relevant to the beliefs of this board.
He's edgy as hell and people with internet psychosis seem to like that shadow the hedgehog shit
I know very little about Land, but is that really all that's happened? Has him simply disbanding from the cathedral been used as ammunition to discredit and smear him as an Alt-Righter?
Because I thought he'd actually adopted their outlook.
I can't claim to say Im different in that respect unfortunately lol. Is all his work like that? Or just what you've encountered? Which titles did you read? If I can trouble you with the questions.
Oh no he's definitely alt-right now. He spends most of his time on twitter whining about immigrants and bitcoin. But he wasn't all the way there yet during the years that the collection of essays in Fanged Noumena were written. I definitely recommended reading it.
Ah. Okay. I couldn't say for certain due to my unfamiliarity with him outside of his status as a writer. That's too bad. If I wind up reading and enjoying the works I imagine I'll be even more disappointed in his defection.
Have you read the collection in the pic above? Which were your favorite that you've read of his?
He's right wing now, but theory goes that this is just his vehicle for r/acc. Check out hermitix and some of his xenosystems writings to get familiar with his current stance. don't judge a book by its cover
