    when I was 13, I was a neoliberal.
    when I was 14, I was a maga mormon nationalist.
    when I was 15, I was a Radical anarcho capitalist Agorist with auth-right tendancies.
    when I was 16, I was a democratic socialist.
    when I was 17, a communist.
    And now I am 18. With an autism diagnosis.

      Yes, he's Canadian, but as the US is the hegemonic superpower, it's almost inevitable that any political discussion will at the very least touch on the US, especially this close to an election. I'm from Europe and even here the US election is exhaustingly inescapable, because no matter the outcome, it will have a huge effect on the political climate here as well. This is of course is even more the case in Canada because of it's proximity.

    I'm a big Jreg fan but I think his schtick is running a bit thin on me. Like, I get it - he's a champion of authenticity and authentic community and free thought who simultaneously refuses to let his own thoughts be pinned down, and compulsively covers everything in several thick layers of irony. It's a good bit, it's good art, it's thought provoking, and I like it. But maybe I'm just tired of it now. I'm craving authenticity. I am unironically getting tired of post-irony. The world is getting kind of shitty right now and I want real discussion with the aim of arriving at answers, not just to mock, not just to provoke. And I like JJ for this reason - his radical moderatism, his nerdy dedication to boring good politics.

    my summary of nick land is that he was a leftist edgelord who tried to combine his interests in dark/transgressive/occult/weird sci-fi and philosophy with a lot of post-leftist theory and amphetamines until he basically invented his own religion. ofc the speed had him thinking whatever he was doing was super important, and as a writer, he knew words and symbols just had to be powerful and invented his own gematria. thru a lot of extreme tweaking, land started believing his own religion and thinking he cracked the matrix code thru contact with some cosmic coincidence control center/roko’s basilisk/lovecraftian horror in the future using capitalism to retrocausally guide us to create it. and then he just uses philosophical technobabble to extoll the boring argument that capitalism is the best driver of innovation and his own weird duganite an-cap fantasy of thousands of tiny capitalist countries engaged in a process of evolution thru social darwinism (“hyperracism”) until we create a superintelligence that surpasses (and likely destroys) humanity

      Libertinism and the occult have always been wrapped up in the far-right TBH. A lot of Satanism stuff is just borrowing the aesthetics of anti-Catholicism. Not really sure where to go with this but Land is probably a fan of Evola and I kind of worry about Grant Morrison. All that /x/ UFO lizard babble is in bed with eugenics and Calvinism.

      A lot of jregs strategy or ideas are just a more meta version of cope that works for people with relatively more privilege and allows them to have careers online without getting mobbed and canceled all the time.
      I’m a trans woman, I need Kamala to win so I don’t have to contemplate leaving my country for fear. People become so excessively ironic they can’t feel sincerity anymore. Ask me how I know, I’ve travelled that entire road. Jreg is late-stage-postmodernism. He’ll come around to political metamodernism eventually.

    I think it's important to not conflate the marketing term "AI" that's being thrown around by a lot of tech startups in order to make them sound significantly more groundbreaking than they are with the very real concept of "AGI" which will not come into existence through LLMs. The term "AGI" is theoretically possible and means something specific whereas "AI" is an amorphous kaleidoscope that can mean everything and nothing at the same time, making the term useless.

Really would like to see you zero in on that and I definitely say FD Signifier is the best candidate to discuss this with.
    Also would be cool to hear from organizers like Chris Smalls or Yannis Varoufakis, would like to hear their perspectives on how the internet stuff affects real life.

      I like FD signifier but he misses the whole eugenics/neurodiversity angle on the manosphere. A lot of the incel stuff is pretty much pro-ana Calvinism for teenage boys and closeted transgender girls. It's all wrapped up in psychology, bodybuilding, yoga and wellness which have deep eugenicist roots. Fascism is also only the statist form of social Darwinism. Libertarianism/ancapism/Anarcho-Monarchism is pretty just much just non-state social Darwinism. Liberalism is about in the center between Anarcho-Monarchism and Fascism IMO. So incel stuff is really reflective of broader trends.

    Where as the middle was the kinda “just keep it smooth sailing down the middle, with the establishment, and where good” but now with the idea of anti establishment they don’t really have anyone to say “if it anit broke don’t fix it”, cuz the loud ones especially are calling it broke

    I agree with most of jregs observations about the world especially with the increased radicalization of both sides because of climate change and inequality along side the alternate reality of the internet. I really hate that. Jreg seems to embrace that trend maybe because it seems so inevitable that this is the direction we are going in, but I personally really hope we can be better than that and learn to be more media literate and better able to find truth.
