i think its funny that hes a reaganite. i bet he would have been good pals with dave wallace

...

so again : Does he really believe bitccoin is a manifestation of a future Roko's Basilisk?

A bit more on Thatcher

Not quite. Most NRx people view Thatcherism and Reaganomics as temporary, transient victories.

Would read that manga

bitcoin will never be the world currency, so i severely doubt it. hard to be punished for not making use of an optional service

He lost it completely... Land rightfully recognized that it is capitalism that causes immigration and the mektdown of local cultures. Thatcher did not support the causes of the alt-right, quite on the contrary. She made nation states the puppets of international finance.

A libidinal energetics is not a transformation of intentional
theories of desire, of desire understood as lack, as transcendence, as
dialectic. Such notions are best left to the theologians. It is, rather,
a transformation of thermodynamics, or a struggle over the sense of
‘energy’. For it is in the field of energetic research that the
resources for a materialist theory of desire have been slowly (and
blindly) composed:

1 Chance. Entropy is the core of a probabilistic engine, the
absence of law as an automatic drive. The compositions of
energy are not determinations but differentiations, since all order
flows from improbability. Thus a revolution in the conception of
identities, now derived from chance as a function of differentia-
tion, hence quantitative, non-absolute, impermanent. Energy
pours downstream automatically, ‘guided’ only by chance, and
this is even what ‘work’ now means (freed from its Hegelian
pathos), a function of play, unbinding, becoming.

2 Tendency. The movement from the improbable to the probable
is an automatic directionality; an impulsion. Entropy is not a
telos, since it is not represented, intentionally motivating, or
determinate. It nevertheless allows power, tension, and drive to
be grasped as uni-directional, quantitative, and irresistible
forces. Teleological schemes are no longer necessary to the
understanding of tendential processes, and it is no longer
necessary to be patient with them, they are superfluous.

3 Energy. Everywhere only a quantitative vocabulary. Fresh-air
after two millennia of asphyxiating ontologies. Essences dissolve
into impermanent configurations of energy. ‘Being’ is indistin-
guishable from its effectiveness as the unconscious motor of
temporalization, permutational dynamism. The nature of the
intelligible cosmos is energetic improbability, a differentiation
from entropy.

4 Information. The laborious pieties of the Geisteswissenschafterr,
signs, thoughts, ideologies, cultures, dreams, all of these
suddenly intelligible as natural forces, as negentropies. A whole

series of pseudo-problems positively collapsed. What is the
relation between mind and body? Is language natural or
conventional? How does an idea correspond to an object? What
articulates passion with conception? All signals are negentropies,
and negentropy is an energetic tendency.
