He presented Zapffe and Ulrich Horstmann thesis within obscurantist schizo framework for twitter trannies to feel special about themselves for being in a """fringe""" in the know group.
Nature has overshot its target with consciousness(Zapffe's The Last Messiah: The tragedy of a species becoming unfit for life by overevolving one ability is not confined to humankind. Thus it is thought, for instance, that certain deer in paleontological times succumbed as they acquired overly-heavy horns. The mutations must be considered blind, they work, are thrown forth, without any contact of interest with their environment. In depressive states, the mind may be seen in the image of such an antler, in all its fantastic splendour pinning its bearer to the ground), which is a curse and it have been/will drive us towards our own extinction.
From Wikipedia
>Horstmann puts forth the theory that mankind has been pre-programmed to eliminate itself in the course of history—and also all its memory of itself—through war (thermonuclear, genetic, biological), genocide, destruction of its sustaining environment, etc. “The final aim of history is a crumbling field of ruins. Its final meaning is the sand blown through the eye-holes of human skulls.” Through his analysis of history, he has concluded that our species is engaged in a constant process of armament, with the eventual end goal of wiping itself out through war. History, for him, is nothing more than a slaughterhouse . . . “the place of a skull and charnel house of a mad, incurably bloodthirsty slaughtering, flaying and whetting, of an irresistible urge to destroy to the last.” Although inspired by the already extreme philosophy of Philipp Mainländer, Horstmann ends up with an even more explicit solution regarding the problem of human existence. In his book The Beast he actually goes so far as to suggest the use of nuclear weapons in order to bring forth the extinction of the human race. For him only the annihilation of life would give rise to a universal redemption in which we would once again achieve the existential peace of inorganic matter. According to Horstmann’s apocalyptic vision: The true Garden of Eden is desolation
>Die Geschichte des Untiers ist erfüllt, und in Demut harrt es des doppelten Todes — der physischen Vernichtung und des Auslöschens der Erinnerung an sich selbst. The history of the Beast is fulfilled, and in humility it awaits a double death — the physical annihilation and the obliteration of the recollection to itself.

I hope you don’t actually think like this.

>In the late twentieth century Daniel Barker formulated the axioms of spinal catastrophism: If human morphology, upright posture, and the possibility of language are the ramified accidents of natural history, then psychic ailments are ultimately afflictions of the spine, which itself is a scale model of biogenetic trauma, a portable map of the catastrophic events that shaped that atrocity exhibition of evolutionary traumata, the sick orthograde talking mammal.
>From psychoanalysis and myth to geology and neuroanatomy, from bioanalysis to chronopathy, from spinal colonies of proto-minds to the retroparasitism of the CNS, from “railway spine” to Elizabeth Taylor's lost gill-slits, this extravagantly comprehensive philosophical adventure uses the spinal cord as a guiding thread to rediscover forgotten pathways in modern thought. Moynihan demonstrates that, far from being an fanciful notion rendered obsolete by advances in biology, spinal catastrophism dramatizes fundamental philosophical problematics of time, identity, continuity, and the transcendental that remain central to any attempt to reconcile human experience with natural history.
You could convince me this was a parody of continental philosophy if i didn't know the book exists entirely in earnest.
I mean, it basically is (Barker is a made up character for instance)
>Nooo you can't say that he's a hyperstition from the future
shut up acctrannies
>From psychoanalysis and myth to geology and neuroanatomy, from bioanalysis to chronopathy, from spinal colonies of proto-minds to the retroparasitism of the CNS
The author of anything that can be described like this should be ground into fertilizer. Just masturbation over the ability to vaguely link disparate concepts whose Wikipedia articles interested you for five minutes.
>noooooo you can't write a history of philosophy book on a topic, my poor little brain can't handle it aaaaaaaaa
Frick off accgay.
Barker is a hyperstition, a persona that Nick Land or someone else at CCRU made up as a pen name.
>no fun allowed
lighten up actually
You're seriously above enjoying a good schizo ramble?
It's actually a easy read anon just start it
This. It's not a hard read and serves as an excellent introduction to the texts he talks about. Actually read books instead of neurotically planning reading programs and inventing excuses not to read..
What a waste of time. You'll nothing from that book
Honestly like these kind of books. It's like horror/weird fiction but in the guise of philosophy, like TCATHR. Just ignore the trannies and have fun.
How nature's evolution of the spine enables and creates the Kantian subject, with a futher discussion of his future hopes and prospects.
