" Capital is but a form of labor, and its distinction from labor is in reality but a subdivision, just as the division of labor into skilled and unskilled would be."

- Henry George, Progress and Poverty
"Note that, before the coming of nationalist democracy, it was actually not a problem at all for wealthy, high-IQ people to live in the same society as poor, low-IQ people. It worked just fine. The latter served the former. They got paid. No one starved. If the mob wanted to riot, there were more than enough Swiss Guards to handle them."

- Curtis Yarvin, Why I am not a white nationalist
" Rationality, during the enlightenment, had to fight religion; and they fought religion with the most up-to-date science: physics. They fought it with the necessity of physical laws. The problem— Hume saw this, he saw it very well—is that the necessity of laws is not something you can demonstrate, but only something you can believe in: so it's a belief against another belief. And in fact I think the belief in the necessity of laws is necessarily a belief in God, because you believe in what you cannot demonstrate, you believe in an order that guarantees laws. In fact, you may not believe in god any more, but you believe in the divine solidity of laws."

- Quentin Meillassoux, After Finitude: An Essay on the Necessity of Contingency
"To absorb even the slightest fraction of [diversity] and to conclude, in the only way possible, that it is either nothing at all, or a 'social construct' and index of oppression, is sheer Gnostic delirium: a commitment beyond all evidence to the existence of a true and good world veiled by appearances. People are not equal, they do not develop equally, their goals and achievements are not equal, and nothing can make them equal. Substantial equality has no relation to reality, except as its systematic negation. Violence on a genocidal scale is required to even approximate to a practical egalitarian program, and if anything less ambitious is attempted, people get around it (some more competently than others)."

- Nick Land, The Dark Enlightenment Part 4b: Obnoxious observations

Funni quotes.

You may have noticed i'm too lazy and haven't added much yet to this page. That is factual. Accordingly, please refrain from adding me to your relations until i actually put what i believe in here, understood?

Now, i know most people who got here would like a quick way to know whether they must call me evil or not, and my influences section isn't all that helping if you're not into wacky stuff, probably. If you really really really don't want to read the page, just consider i want asexual CEOs to be able to defend their city-states with nuclear bombs, i believe nothing can or should be done to stop capitalism from eradicating humans, and i don't think god is real. These takes are extreme enough that you should be able to judge me now. You may laugh/seethe/not give a damn. You're welcome.

If you want to add me to your relationships, i stongly encourage you to put your own chosen icons (If you use them) to describe me as you see me, but if you're not original, take these:

[[File:Quarkism.png]] [[Quarkism]] ([[File:Neocameralism.png|link=Neocameralism]]/[[File:Accelerationism.png|link=phil:Accelerationism]]/[[File:Cosmo.png|link=Cosmopolitanism]]/[[File:Darwinist.png|link=Social_Darwinism]]/[[File:Postgenderism.png|link=Postgenderism]])

Which will look like this: Quarkism (////)

So, let's get to it.

Accelerationism

Accelerationism, understood here in what i deem its true meaning (i.e. neither "hurr durr push the system to its breaking point" nor "when technology go faster", and certainly not whatever bs these neonazis hallucinated during their gang rapes), pertains to the ensemble of mindsets, frameworks, critical theory tools, concepts and other philosophies carried and developed by CCRU authors such as the infamous forerunner Nick Land, the suicidal Mark Fisher, the brilliant Sarah Jane Plant and the, well, irrelevant Benjamin Noys, all influenced by an extremely wide array of poststructuralist, postmodernist, posthumanist and variously interesting thinkers. Posterior content, from u/acc founder Matt Colquhoun, later works by Nick Land as well as some sparse elements from z/acc founder James De Llis is also to be included, though Srnicek and Wolfendale will be entirely left out because they're really oblivious morons and i hate them and their ideas.

Base Materialism

Anti-Humanism

Cosmic Nihilism

Speculative Realism

Rhizomes

Knowledge-Power

Hyperréalité

Gestell

Cybernetics

Capital As AI

Anti-Praxis

Neoreactionaryism

The following beliefs of mine are all taken from various neoreactionary texts, mostly from Curtis Yarvin/Mencius Moldbug (On Unqualified Reservations) and Nick Land (In The Dark Enlightenment) and sometimes other blog posts and essays which mostly relate to technology, platforming and governmental finance.

Anti-Enlightenment

Obscurantism

Darwinism

Elitism

Monarchy

Individualism

Anti-Idpol

Exit-Oriented Politics

Patchwork

Classical International Law

Formalism

Revenue Maximization

Austrian School

Crypto-Governance

Market Nihilism

Georgism

I've heard it confuses people as to why georgism out of all things is such a central element to my opinions, grounded in the belief that georgism is before all an egalitarian and radically liberal doctrine applied to the economy for the common good. I'd argue that this is a severe misconception of the ideas that Henry George attempted to further back in his 19th century America. Indeed, the issues of the day were appertaining to crippling cronyism, the recurring populist calls for high tariffs on trade (The US in the 1800's were surprisingly demagogic when you look into it), and the apparent lack of increase in personal wealth of commoners despite the incredibly fast growth of productive abilities, suggesting reasons as to why this correlation wasn't occuring as expected, Progress and Poverty's name not being a coincidence. From there, it should not be surprising at all to find out that georgism not only inspired a major part of the Austrian school of economics, due to its focus on laissez-faire and individuality, but also led to the creation of neoliberalism, many proponents of which defend deregulation of the economy, acclaim soft power through global market dominance and even went as far as to claim the LVT to be the only fair tax. While both of these are obviously liberal ideologies, it's easy to see that, far from being some kind of collectivist movement, georgism and its heirs clearly lean on the side of ruthless capitalism.

Yet this is not even the main reason why georgism is so great. Theorists within the tradition came up with insightful economic ontologies to concretely advise policy towards both utilitarian and deontological optimisation. Specifically, the division of resources in three precisely cut categories, which all fit oddly well with my materialism and inhumanism. They are:

  • Land, anything available in limited supply and which cannot be produced (Oil, air and radio frequencies fall into this group, for example)
  • Capital, anything available in limited supply yet can be produced (Machinery, individuals and infrastructure all count)
  • Information, anything available in unlimited supply and can be produced (Patents, copyrights and trademarks, you get the idea)
