  • Everything I'm going to say is basically wrong so keep that in mind as I continue. Regarding Nihilism, I too have thumbed through some Ligotti, Camus, and Cioran. I took to interpreting the post-colonial as a sort of socialist inclined Nihilism. Fanon with Guattari or Foucault makes for a worldview that certainly is not terribly cheerful about things as they are arranged in soceity. There are those writers who bring you closure to their wounds, and then there are those who see the soul wound embedded there in the world and lurch us into an awareness of this abject void. Recently I've begun wondering if Yogachara Buddhism has something insightful with the persona of Maitreya - this world is in such a dark age that we can no longer achieve enlightenment within this Dispensation.

Geist is no longer the question, but the material reality involved in production and reproduction of our conditions of mutual being and the way those relations become reified in things that appear to us as common sense but are constructions of the very process one finds oneself locked into socially rather than being the immediate data of sense perception. Strange things have been written along the lines of Hegelianism is Cybernetics without the Math and Cybernetics is Hegelianism without God. In such a way, you could argue that the Corporate Management Sciences utilizes a strange materialist dialetics, if we say that systems theory and information theory can be considered within the scope of a strict materialist ontology. Rather than the lord and bondsman, we find the thermostat and its feedback loop...
