I find followers of Nick Land to be even more repulsive than the average neo-fascist, they are deeply misanthropic and have such twisted views on technology and how it should be used.
I learned about Land a few months ago and started reading a little about him. He has this weird fascination with Shanghai because of its tech scene, thinking it’s where the “singularity” will emerge and finally replace all humans (I’m probably butchering it here but I don’t want to spend time looking up this trash again).
There’s a philosophy platform called Theory Underground that has a course dissecting Land, but it’s paywalled. They have some videos on YouTube with 1Dime, discussing Land.
Anyways, he seems to be the atheist, ancap tech bro’s equivalent of Jordan Peterson, putting out pseudo-intellectual word soups to stir the alt-right.
