Screenshot of brief text post by me, on my primary YouTube channel's—@StClare_ on YouTube—section §Posts, approx. one year ago, on the topic of the intellectual/lunatic Nick Land and some of his (unsavory) ideas: ❝ I've found many of Nick Land's ideas counterproductive or even flat-out messed up. Yet, for being called "dark" and pessimistic, he's ultimately an optimist—he affirms the continuation of consciousness/sentience, even if that's post-human. Truly "real" pessimist philosophers find sentience/consciousness to be an absolute curse, wrong, and something that would have better never come into being. #NickLand #CCRU #Land #philosophy #antinatalism #pessimism #philosophicalpessimism #posthumanism #negativeutilitarinism #utilitarianism #posthuman #Singularity #technooptimism #optimism #sentiocentrism ❞[.] I also posted this screenshot to my [slowly-vanishing]—being transferred here, to Bluesky!—X account (@Empty_Sky_93 on X) on July 11, 2024, with the following caption: ❝{youtube.com/post/UgkxDHTNv…} Nick Land is ultimately an optimist because he affirms the value of consciousness/sentience, even if posthuman... #NickLand #CCRU #Land #philosophy #antinatalism #pessimism #philosophicalpessimism #posthumanism #negativeutilitarinism ❞[.] {{ http://youtube.com/post/UgkxDHTNvcDO1wb_TQfsNUnH2wpPlwrN6av7?si=E_QInEiUGeIr8di5 }} ↔️ YouTube post in question (on primary YouTube channel, @ StClare_ 〔n.s.〕).
