The glaring flaw of the current restoration impulse is its shamelessly suburban, new money sensibility. Like a low end gastro pub revolution premised on Roman history podcasts.

Is free money from the state funnelled into the general population via crypto gambling really the best approach to UBI?

Spectacular to watch a population absolutely fumble its own empire in real-time.

Nietzsche’s books are full of seductions and sugar-plums. They have made “aristocrats” of people who would otherwise have been only mild snobs or meddlesome prigs; as much as, if not more than, other writings, they have made “expropriators” of what would otherwise merely have been Arsène Lupins: and they have made an Over-man of every vulgarly energetic grocer in Europe. -Wyndham Lewis, 1915

It seems much of the political divide in the tech adjacent professional sphere actually hinges on whether one is able to believe that ‘the market’ (simple, promethean, ideal, escaping state structuration) is responsible for tech development post WW2, or on the other side, if one has read the history of tech and ‘the market’ as a Cthulhu-like extension of state policy through three letter organizations and myriad capital allocation structures—both covert (shadow venture capital) and non-covert (DARPA, NASA, manhattan project etc).

It’s odd Nick Land is taken so seriously. The goofiness of that whole scene was already camp in the 90s. Rewatching this skit puts in relief our comparatively unsophisticated sensibilities and BS meters related to tech culture. What happened? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMQZ7iAuUFM
