why do people assume Nick is trying to be an edgelord, his ideas are simply an interesting and very possible synthesis of Nietzsche, Deleuze, Foucault, Lovecraft, and Marx

The thing is that all those guys were edgelords. Not that there's something wrong with that.

More antihero than supervillain. Verging into one of those guys the hero of a bog-standard action thriller meets somewhere in act 2 when looking for guidance on how to defeat the real bad guys. Marx + Deleuze + Lovecraft + drugs is a recipe for psychosis and that's what happened to Nick Land. He looked beyond the veil.

If I was looking for a deeply-buried goldmine of super-villain material I'd go with pic related.

He looks way older now.

>those guys were edgelords

Nietzsche has syphilis that ate his brain for half of his life
Deleuze's brother died in a concentration camp, he spent three decades before suicide with a single lung following a gruesome thoracoplasty
Foucault worked in insane asylums and then had a mental breakdown where he slashed his chest open
Lovecraft's dad went insane when he was 3 and then died when he was 8, and then had sleep paralysis and night terrors for the rest of his life

Still edgelords tho lmao

Can someone just explain his fucking batshit philosophy in terms a retard could understand? Every time I try to read his website I get bored and confused

also Nick Land is more of an occultist than a formal philsopher
