Xenosystems Fragments: (and a Gift from the Lemurs)

Product Information

Neocameralism provided the conceptual engineering framework for a techonomic, accelerationist launchpad via fragmentation, sovereign corporation formalisation and market-based competition, enforced by the insatiable hunger of noumenal wolves stalking the Outside. Sadie Plant was one of them: a former Birmingham University lecturer in cultural studies, the study of modern popular culture. Mark Fisher, a former student of hers at Birmingham, was another incomer. He was jumpy and intense, while she was warm and approachable. For a time in the early 90s, she and Land were partners. Edmund Berger, “Unconditional Acceleration and the Question of Praxis: Some Preliminary Thoughts”, Deterritorial Investigations, 29 March 2017: https://deterritorialinvestigations.wordpress.com/2017/03/29/unconditional-acceleration-and-the-question-of-praxis-some-preliminary-thoughts/ Xenosystems featured in the star citizen podcast Hit Quantum ( google podcasts, spotify, Breaker, Itunes and Anchor) But what would be the criteria for such selection? Given the EU’s eager support for a policy of managed migration, are we now to see a situation develop in which the displaced people of the world are screened and selected, sectioned off into categories of skilled and unskilled, through a sort of economic natural selection process ensuring the survival of the economically fittest? Global migration management heralds a new Darwinism. Not the old Social Darwinism that believes that the advance of civilisation is dependent on the advancement of the superior race, but a socio-economic Social Darwinism that allows the rich First World to maintain its economic dominance by emptying the poorer worlds of their skilled work-force. In the era of globalisation, the skills pool, not the genes pool, is key. Related links

By now, we hopefully understand what has happened to accelerationism since 2007. So what happened next? It is a diamond formed of four other diamonds, representing the four pillars of XES: people, fun, being casual (“real life first”), and team play. It also references the focus on resources and the quality achieved together. And of course what links the diamonds into one is the X of Xenosystems.Xenosystems ( Xi'an: A8ohui0luai ( A8ohui0luai ) (Proper);) [1], ( Banu: ochoa ( zinositsemzo ) ;) [2] is a privately owned geological survey organization, that proudly delivers commercially viable mineral deposits for the galaxy’s mining industry. Xenosystems Exploration & Survey is a privately owned mineral resource organisation that proudly delivers high quality deposits, refined ore and installation services for the galaxy’s construction and manufacturing trades. In 1996, the CCRU listed its interests as “cinema, complexity, currencies, dance music, e-cash, encryption, feminism, fiction, images, inorganic life, jungle, markets, matrices, microbiotics, multimedia, networks, numbers, perception, replication, sex, simulation, sound, telecommunications, textiles, texts, trade, video, virtuality, war”. Today, many of these topics are mainstream media and political fixations. Two decades ago, says Grant, “We felt we were the only people on the planet who were taking all this stuff seriously.” The CCRU’s aim was to meld their preoccupations into a groundbreaking, infinitely flexible intellectual alloy – like the shape-shifting cyborg in the 1991 film Terminator 2, a favourite reference point – which would somehow sum up both the present and the future. Together, please join me in congratulating each and every one of you who has built Xenosystems up to what we have here today; as I believe change is a neutral power that we can harness, together, to build that future we all see and strive for.

Hell-Baked ” was the first post I ever read there. And it is probably the best summary of it: short, pungent, unapologetic, malignant in its indifference. It flows like poetry, a dark pestilent poem for that which lies beyond — “where be dragons”, as it says. It contained themes that made it both absolutely current and just simply unthinkable to my ilk.Fun, no drama, real life first, maturity and sense of humour, exploration and exploitation of natural ressources As we discussed the other day, we’re both very excited about the kinds of conversations that the course might generate — Ed Berger has already written a genius blogpost in response to the promo chat. So please join us for what we think will be a really exciting set of conversations. This lecture is a compounding of the previous 2 lectures into a coherent whole (process), each singular part culminates into a working transcendental model of what it means to philosophically (and actually) ‘Accelerate the process’.

With the dividends of their success and their burgeoning knowledge of the mining sector, our founders incorporated Xenosystems Exploration & Survey as a cutting-edge prospecting organization, to discover and acquire new mineral deposits for resale. [3] Services The 2008 financial crisis, and the left’s ineffectual, rather old-fashioned response to it – such as the short-lived street protests of the Occupy movement – further convinced Srnicek that an updated radical politics was needed. In 2013, he and a young British political theorist, Alex Williams, co-wrote a Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics. “Capitalism has begun to constrain the productive forces of technology,” they wrote. “[Our version of] accelerationism is the basic belief that these capacities can and should be let loose … repurposed towards common ends … towards an alternative modernity.”

In this lecture we will explore how the blogosphere sought to counter Žižek’s contrarian arguments with a Deleuzian ethics of de-institionalised affirmation. This alternative, however, was not without some complications of its own… Xenosystems advocated a cold anti-humanism of techno-commerce, Patchwork and Exit — via an embrace of cybernetics and the abstract dynamics of catallaxy — over the entropic monkey-trap of politics, Voice and Hegelian dialectics.
