I fell down a rabbit hole this week. I stumbled across a post, I don't even remember where, arguing that Nick Land wasn't really drinking the Neo-Reaction kool-aid, but still on the accelerationist kick he was on before he snapped and egging them on for that reason. Now, I never really cared to read the spew from that corner of the Internet firsthand, but the prospect of them all being unwitting players in a bit of political theater was too funny and I had to know. So I read his blog, and I read Fanged Noumena. For the past week I have been knee deep in stuff like this. I'm perfectly willing to believe this guy is much smarter than his peers and knows that they're ridiculous, but I'm not so sure that's enough to conclude he's anything other than he pretends to be. Dude had an unusual relationship with reality before he cracked. Trying to figure him out became much more work than getting the joke was worth. Next week is all comics, I think.
