Danger posted:Has anyone said Nick Land? Because Nick Land. For people who aren't familiar with his origins, he basically turned his/Sadie Plant's research unit in the 90s at Warwick into a Deleuze/jungle music cult: http://energyflashbysimonreynolds.blogspot.com/2009/11/renegade-academia-cybernetic-culture.html After being (obviously) run out for that he disappeared for a few years before re-emerging as a travel writer-cum-racist blogger in China. From Bataille to brain mass biotruths, or something like that.

Danger posted:While Lands recent leanings are disheartening, in some ways they are a logical reflection on his accelerationism. Fanged Noumena is still some good poo poo. Yeah well I'll admit to owning a numbered copy of FN. It's interesting in how it gives you a sense of the mid-nineties avant garde (like some of the wacky formal choices he makes), but in terms of actually doing productive things with the philosophical material I'll stick to the people like Ray Brassier who have built on this by attempting to naturalize areas of continental philosophy (metaphysics, mind) that would have previously been seen as sacrosanct areas of the a priori. Sorta parallel to Ladyman/Ross on the analytical side.

Phillip Kitcher's Vaulting Ambition does a good job sorting reasonable evopsych claims from ones that overreach: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/vaulting-ambition
