Excellent work

[ext_458735]

Thanks for the quick introduction to Land, have been more and more curious as I wade into Negarestani. On a side note, this point about the "unilateral" dualisms as distinct from bilateral onto-schisms seems to resonate with Laruelle, perhaps? Again wonderful work, keep it up!

Yes... yes, Negerestani is heavily influenced by Land and Deleuze of course, and, I would assume a tie in with Ray Brassier's work and Laruelle as possibles... the eliminativist strain in his thinking... I like his Cyclonopedia and have been doing some background on the old hyperstitional site as well... good luck on your work!
