Can someone tell me about the CCRU and its connection to Nick Land?
Can someone tell me about the CCRU and its connection to Nick Land?
Caleb Wood
Joseph Barnes
Can you be more specific?
Lincoln Flores
CCRU was the University of Warwick collective to which Land belonged and in which he first attained (moderate) notoriety.
Christian Johnson
I want to know everything.
Connor Bailey
Well i know this already.
Connor Green
What other connection to Nick Land could you be looking for?
Kevin Carter
How it connects with the more lucid parts of his philosophy like neoreaction and accelerationism.
Jonathan Bell
Landian accelerationism posits that history is a teleological process leading up to the self-consciousness of capital and the elimination of biological humanity so that it can be replaced by an automated self-managed productive force. That doesn't seem very lucid to me.
Jace Gonzalez
I don't mean to sound like a dick but clearly I meant comparatively lucid.
Christopher Bell
>neoreaction
>lucid
Daniel Sullivan
I still wouldn't describe it as 'lucid.'
Leo Brown
Is English not your first language?
Christopher Fisher
from what I understand, Land has dissavowed most of his early work done in england, including collaborations with CCRU.
NRx isn't meant to jive with his accelerationist stuff from the 90s/00s
Justin Green
This is very wrong, he still writes on accelerationism on his blog at Urban Future and as for his old writings obviously some of it doesn't jive with his current views but he hasn't disavowed them.
Adrian Hill
Do you not know that there are other ways to say that you can understand what somebody is trying to say? Land is not lucid.
Mason Jackson
Okay, but even if something is not lucid it can be more lucid than something else. Hence, comparatively more lucid.
Juan Price
But it still isn't fucking lucid, you goddamn gremlin. Just admit that you used a shitty descriptor.
Jonathan Allen
I don't know but I can tell you the "Numogram" is really fucking bad understanding of Occult theory.
Luis Gomez
In what way?
Adam Peterson
Does anyone have the link to the old article about the guy who came across his cult of personality at Warwick? how his followers were bizarrely orthodox in their reverence. Good piece
Jack Johnson

This is literally 100% wrong. Read these:

"Moldbug seeks to accelerate this process." I don't know how much clearer he could be, but you retards still like to imagine there is some huge difference between his old and new writings.
Daniel Flores
Why don't you go to his blog or Twitter and ask him?
David Adams
He is kind of intimidating.
Lincoln Carter
Go back to memeing Zizek. Nick Land is not even funny.
Oliver Howard
If you don't think Land is funny you're not autistic enough to be reading him.
