Glad this took off, in any case yes I do know Kantian ethics, the meme was just good. In any case check out my Medium and my Substack for some content!
Spinoza calls his greatest work on Metaphysics, “The Ethics” because every metaphysics is an ethics, it tackles the question, “how might one live?”
A philosophy that doesn’t occupy itself on this is sophistry.
Meta-Capitalist Realism is the idea that there is no alternative cultural criticism outside of Fishers “Capitalist Realism”. There is no alternative to this mode of cultural criticism. In a way that was the truth about Capitalist Realism.
An insight by Brassier is the fact that, “we are already dead.” Both in terms of Thermodynamic-linear cosmology and as the state of man (Adam).
We should strive towards death,
Death to the World
“Yeah I like German Idealism! But only interpreted throughout the French post-structuralists and then through a small English sect at the University of Warwick!”
Capitalist Realism isn’t a nihilist philosophy or a pessimistic one. It really is an analysis (a very British one) of culture which has a weird aesthetic, but it’s a realism in appearance. If you follow Fishers work straight through even what glimmers we see if
Reading Nick Land isn’t even bad and to associate some “negative” connotations to having read his work is genuinely fucking childish. Like wow you read a book about some dude doing philosophy on speed, real fucking edgy huh?
Deleuze and Guattari are so cursed online. Liking them is the equivalent is like saying you like A24 studios because they’re “indie”. STFU they’re good but your just an annoying prick.

90% of leftist Twitter just substituted their liberal tendencies with pseudo-Deleuzo-Guattarian views in an attempt to circumvent cringe. Ultimately all you did was hide your ideological cringe with dense and obscure language.
Divine Geometry then shows how a (choir of angles) can form an image to contemplate and help one ascend to the divine. Iconography is the repetition of endless simulacra which both inexhaustibly participate in reality but also “are” that very reality, they undergo Theosis.
“One day humanity will play with law just as children play with disused objects, not in order to restore them to their canonical use but to free them from it for good.” - Giorgio Agamben
Lyotards Libidnal Economy is probably the most important work to understand Web 3.0, Crypto and memetics as the driving force of financial forces during and post COVID. I would say as far back as the 70s but we’re seeing unprecedented speeds.
Smoking scorpions to get high is a growing problem in south Asia. The “high” is said to be so powerful that it outstrips heroin and can last from 10 hours to 3 days. But the person spends the first six hours in pain while their body adjusts to the toxins, which can possibly lead
