This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

FYI, Land is a piece of shit. I'm just saving people time, as I would if I saw people earnestly sharing Jordan Peterson advice.

Nick Land is widely considered a foundational figure in contemporary reactionary philosophy, specifically as a key architect of the Dark Enlightenment or neoreactionary (NRx) movement.

After leaving academia in the late 1990s, his philosophy shifted heavily to the right. He concluded that democracy, egalitarianism, and the progressive left were obstacles preventing rapid technological advancement and a capitalist singularity.
