other things to think about, in terms of the strangest of all possible bedfellows, meeting in the strangest of all possible ways...
I want to learn about everything. Where do I start?

there is a hotel in my mind, or perhaps a ramen shop in Tokyo, where Land, Girard, Heidegger and Lacan all meet, anonymously, and have the most interesting conversation about the theory and practice of hell and the meaning of the good life. or perhaps they are snowed in in some alpine resort, and forced to spend the evening together, and drink heavily, and it looks like a Eugene O'Neill play, and they talk about the twentieth century, and it all comes out because it will not come out any other way until they chew the scenery into ribbons and we finally get to some understanding of this thing.

although in some sense this has already been done.

holy shit it's real. poor guy, someone should explain what "boomer" means.
In any regard, Nick is squarely using Deleuze as a weapon to theorize how to maximize complexity or whorls or order or Apollo or whatever the fuck your preferred thing is. My personal reading of Deleuze is fairly anti-Apollo, as far as one can be "opposed" to a law of nature. Anyway Land is giving us, honest (read - trickstet-liar), card carrying Deleuzeans a bad name. The state isn't supposed to be able to find Deleuze this fast. I just want a map on how to survive the streets of the State, and the bastard leaves me with no choice other than to curse his name. Cursed be, he's interesting as fuck. I really, really need to read Whitehead, he seems like good ammo against Land. I'm running on a Goethe-Kierkegaard-Deleuze assemblage as the battering ram and the old thing really could use some new parts.

Beterson is far too embedded in the assholes of the IDW (cringe) at this point for that to be an interesting conversation.
Also, he's far too worried about mainstream acceptability to talk to someone the Telegraph called a fascist once upon a time.
It's more of a pity Nick Land and Mark Fisher didn't leave us a long-form recorded conversation, really.

He said "context," not "concept," you fucking idiot. He's trying to give an idea of the political climate in which the movement germinated.

We are laping, and you're going to die soon. Basically Deleuze described the way the state memes you into paying taxes, and gives you a handy box of tools to unfuck yourself sneakily. Nick Land came and used the tools to theoretically construct a neo-Authority that knows about you unfucking itself and needs you to pay taxes in the form of carbon atoms in your body being used to calculate how to meme the fungus people of alpha centauri into making themselves into computers as well.
>war
Yes there's a war going on. There's always a war going on.
