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).

The internet is a horrible work machine because its context is everything in the known universe.

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

One contrarian nerd decides to read Carlyle and a completely dead theory of history becomes the de facto mental model of a highly educated class with a paucity of humanities exposure 🤔

Sometimes I think North Americans are obsessed with water bottles because they’re increasingly some kind of displaced population in survival mode.

Thinking about why the experiences produced by the tech industry never match the affective, ball your eyes out power of those produced by the culture industry. Maybe it relates to the missing depth of engagement with frailty and weakness.

The most compromising thing missing from tech is sensitivity to human frailty
