thats another things thats cool about him.. he'd read everything. like prynne. i love people who can read and assimilate everything. it would be the superpower i would choose i think.

Debord's like that too. There are all these allusions and unattributed references to old military strategists and political figures and philosophers and historians packed into the two books on The Spectacle.

The End of History's such an absurd idea. You can see it plainly in the Hegel then Kojeve references in that article I linked to. Napoleon is the End of History, no, no, Stalin is the End of History. Seems completely delusional to proclaim any political system the endpoint.

Baudrillard's response to Fukuyama's version with History ending at liberal democracy's interesting. He doesn't suggest any further political systems, but he disagrees with the idea that everyone will eventually hit liberal democracy and remain there.

“what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy’s resources,”

“what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy’s resources,”
Is this from one of Nick Land's speed-psychosis hallucinations by any chance?

Wonder what he's up to. I don't think he's tweeted for two years now. Whenever he disappears a rumour goes round he's being tortured in a Chinese gulag.
