The Philosophy of Nick Land
Nov 28, 2023 • Bane
The short version is that Nick Land is a right-accelerationist neo-reactionary:
an economic hyper-liberal. Which means that in order to truly understand his
overarching philosophy we need to first understand his particular version of
(hyper) liberalism - what accelerationism means for him.

About May 68
Aug 21, 2023 • Hugorilla
May 68 refers to the period of civil unrest and protests that occurred
throughout France that started in May 1968. It is casually called 68
(Soixante-huit) among French political circles. All the French authors that
influence Ascetus thinking – Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari –
had to navigate around those turbulent waters.

Žižek and The Definition of Sovereignty
Apr 15, 2023 • Bane
In order for expression (for symbolization) there must be repression, to turn
chaos into order there must be a set of rules that structures the chaos into a
manageable form, but the latter never encompasses the whole of the chaos. There
is always a residue of the Real. In this case the need is expressed in the
arbitrary decision which defines the difference between the norm and the
exception, i.e.

Re-Territorializing The Physical
Mar 1, 2023 • Tobias
There are near endless examples of how technology has changed specific
behaviors, but when considered as a whole one can recognize that physical social
reality itself has been deterritorialized as meaningful interpersonal
interaction has increasingly moved online. Ascetus is both an example, and
counter-example, of this phenomenon in that many of the guys here have found
that on the Ascetus forum

That Which AI Cannot Do
Feb 9, 2023 • Jwayne
AI will be able to give perfect nomothetic answers. People will be able to
leverage AI to create “coaching personalities” mimicked after the style of
inputs. However, AI won’t be able to give perfect idiothetic solutions to
personal problems.

Surviving the Spectacle Economy by Returning to the Eternal Economy
Jan 28, 2023 • Thiudareik
The perceived prosperity of the technocratic parasitic class is a temporary
illusion. Jobs that largely involve answering emails, collecting convenience
fees, and guarding against merit with certifications are unproductive and thus
of zero value to the eternal economy. The eternal economy is that which survives
the Kali Yuga. It is the physical underlaying of everything spectacle today.

Macabre Metaphysicians
Jan 27, 2023 • Jwayne
I'm fascinated by the project of East-West discursive hermeneutics. Especially
the synthesis of opposites such as Marxism and jīvanmukta. Sri Aurobindo often
spoke of psychic attainments he referred to as 'enhancement of an existing
perception, not an altogether fresh discovery' and his efforts to 'attempt to
inflect the word so as to hold cross-cultural connotations'. This is relevant to
our eff

Suffering and Metaphysical Destiny
Jan 13, 2023 • Jwayne
In this essay, I introduce four kinds of suffering: Noble/Ignoble and
Innocent/Non-Innocent. I also introduce the concept of a metaphysical line of
unfoldment from the unmanifest to manifestation. Also, I mention a dotted line
when this metaphysical line gets deviated due to the consequences of the
superstructures arisen on account of the corruptions of man’s egoic
consciousness. Lastly, I detai

Sacred Dialectics of the Blood
Dec 1, 2022 • Jwayne
Religion is a form of labor upon the surface of man’s being to bring out the
light of the soul. At the same time religion is an occult language that must be
learned before it can be spoken. It has experientially grounded reference points
to both the natural world and to subjective experience that are decodable within
a cosmopolitan grammar of esoterisms.

Soteriological Rebellion and Mystic Empiricism
Nov 5, 2022 • Jwayne
This is a symphony in four movements. The overture introduces the global,
superhistorical territory of the subject. The second movement lays out a theory
for religious pluralism to account for the differences in religious experience.
The third movement re-applies religious experience to its political
consequences. The finale is a conclusion on discerning inner will which has
transcendent origins f

The Superman
May 31, 2022 • Jwayne
The superman’s view is that reality is seen from first-person-spirit or
first-person-spiritual-reality. And superman has walked the earth before and
will walk it again. And it has nothing to do with scientific, civilizational or
collective innovation. It is a hyper-individualistic attainment that happens in
spite of global social orders.

The Necessary (Symbolic) Death of Trump
Jun 21, 2021 • Juice Money
Without the symbolic death of Trumpism via a stolen election and usurpation of
the “spirit” of the People, it will never be repeated, and thus die a symbolic
death in public opinion as the historical necessity is not realized by the
public without being forged by this traumatic symbolic death. Central to this is
idea is Hegel’s theory of the role of repetition in history: “a political revo

Nondual Nietzsche
Feb 13, 2021 • Jwayne
The basic premise of nonduality is that man is a localization of an absolute
self-governing whole identical with the totality of nature and existence. The
teleological implication is that man may align himself with the interests of the
whole and thereby bring personal suffering to an end. As he is man perceives
himself as a separate being and as such his consciousness acts to further
distinguish h

Spiritual Aryanism
Jan 31, 2021 • Jwayne
Very few souls have walked on the earth with such inspired madness for life as
Nietzsche. He is a rare person whose writings have the religious urgency to
awaken that which has been tranquilized within you by rotting cultures and
faiths. His voice echoes off the page and through to the back of your skull.
Hearing his words have the impact of bouncing off unreceptive dullards to no
avail and striki

Americanism
Jul 15, 2020 • Jwayne
Americanism is the well-documented phenomenon of universalizing the particular.
Americanism is the failure to recognize that American habits, preferences and
values belong uniquely to the North American context. Americanism is the
confiscation of all historic traditions and their substitution by 18th French
Revolution ones. Americanism is a way of thinking that removes the
dissimilitudes between c

The Law As A Fetish
Jul 14, 2020 • John Brown
What is the basis for American Law? I examine the basis of American Law through
fetishism, the expansion of the law as an obsession to cover its impotency, and
the thorny question of Constitutional Authority. While I critique the
transcendent basis of the Constitution, I do admire the strict interpretation of
civil liberties encoded within. Furthermore, I quote Nietzsche out of the
context he dese
