There are few horrors comparable to that of the master legislator who realizes that anarchy is still permitted.

Art as Insurrection

What the philosophers have never understood is this: it is the unintelligibility of the world alone that gives it worth.Nick Land,

Art as Insurrection

Sociological fundamentalism, state worship, totalitarian paranoia and fascism, they all exhibit the same basic impulse; hatred of art, (real) freedom, desire, everything that cannot be controlled, regulated, and administered. Fascism hates aliens, migrant workers, the homeless, rootless people of every kind and inclination, everything evocative of excitement and uncertainty, women, artists, lunatics, drifting sexual drives, liquids, impurity, and abandonment.

Philsophy, in its longing to rationalize, formalize, define, delimit, to terminate enigma and uncertainty, to co-operate wholeheartedly with the police, is nihilistic in the ultimate sense that it strives for the immobile perfection of death.

Nick Land,

Art as Insurrection

Let us not forget that philosophy is also primate psychology; that our loftiest speculations are merely picking through a miniscule region of the variegated slime encrusting a speck of dust.Land,

Spirit and Teeth

The refusal to accept a dungeon is no substitute for a hole in the wall. Only in a voyage to the unknown is there real escape from conviction.Land,

Shamanic Nietzsche

[How do you make yourself a Nazi?] 4) Foster nostalgia for what is maximally bovine, inflexible, and stagnant: a line of racially pure peasants digging the same patch of earth for eternity. 5) Above all, resent everything impetuous and irresponsible, insist upon unrelenting vigilance, crush sexuality under its reproductive function, rigidly enforce the domestication of women, distrust art, classicize cities to eliminate the disorder of uncontrolled flows, and persecute all minorities exhibiting a nomadic tendency.Land,

Making It with Death

Nazism can turn you into a stiff before the messy passage into death.Land,

Making It with Death

thank you for flying with transnational commodification

we shall shortly be arriving in mayhem

if there is anybody on board who can impersonate a pilot

it would be of comfort to the other passengers

Land,

Circuitries

Freud’s organism is a little security system, a miniaturized city-state political corpuscle, a micropod, relatively secure against external assault, but vulnerable to insurgency.Land,

Machinic Desire

It makes no more sense to try to rescue the economy from capital by demarketization than it does to liberate the proletarian from false consciousness by decortication.Land,

Machinic Desire

Sense reaches absolute zero.Land,

Meat

Philosophy has an affinity with despotism, due to its predilection for Platonic-fascist top-down solutions that always screw up viciously.Land,

Meltdown

As sino-pacific boom and automatized global economic integration crashes the neocolonial world system, the metropolis is forces to re-endogenize its crisis. Hyper-fluid capital deterritorializing to the planetary level divests the first world of geographic privilege; resulting in Euro-American neo-mercantilist panic reactions, welfare state deterioration, cancerizing enclaves of domestic underdevelopment, political collapse, and the release of cultural toxins that speed-up the process of disintegration in a vicious circle.Land,
