NICK LAND ON GNOSTIC CALVINISM & EROTIC AI

Nick Land and I discuss his thoughts on my recent essay comparing his work to a dark inversion of Hegel: Entropic Negation, as well as his thoughts on time, free will and the potential novel desires of artificial intelligence. My response against Nick Land’s Recursive Time at 1:21:20 Mistake: The quote at 1:30:23 was supposed to be the one I repeated at 2:01:23. (This was after I read another wrong quote which was edited out, whoops!) Link to article I wrote on Land that we referenced: https://open.substack.com/pub/patrick...
