Contra Simpson, who I largely agree with on the TQ: This Tranny-is-bad because it's transhumanism, and transhumanism is repulsive thing is kind of well... repulsive. Eating a shit-sandwich from a shit-factory is not bad because it's unnatural, it's bad because it's eating shit.

There may well be other problems with food-factory production, but that's not the main issue! The main issue, is that it's a shit sandwich! A person who has to comment on these things for a living will of course feel a temptation to go on a tangent about how this is our soulless factory food world or whatever, but you should really not screw this up.

Whatever your problems with transhumanism generally may be, the trans-humanist ideal was as masculine an idea as there could ever be, the dream was for men to become gods. Stronger, faster, smarter, sense-enhanced gods. It was absolutely, 100% not to become an inferior copy of the weaker sex.

Isaac does such a great job drawing a line with the WQ and TQ in this episode. Really well done.

Interesting talking points and good takes! Let me add some random details:

The Heidegger concept "Dasein" is pronounced as DAASEYN. The first vowel (DAA) is prolonged.

I remember, when Academic Agent introduced Auron McIntyre in a respectful joking way as the Phil Collins of the dissident right for his pop-appeal on Twitter.

I count it as a positive deed for the movement, when Lauren Southern introduced her friend Brittany Pettibone to Martin Sellner. Since then, Martin and Brittany are married, have a son and live in Vienna.

Another great podcast, guys!

I had a quick question: I've been listening to Auron MacIntyre for like six months now, on hikes, commuting. I swear I've listened to EVERY dissection of Nick Land he's ever done with the Prudentialist, unpacking everything from cybernetics to IQ shredding. I have NEVER heard the episode Isaac refers to here.

What makes it more tantalizing is that Isaac presents it as the choicest of Auron MacIntyre cuts, a clip Auron himself considered his best video and recommended privately, in which Auron and the Prudentialist analyze a short passage from Nick Land about the dialectic.

I googled "Nick Land Auron MacIntyre dialectic". I ran a search on every podcast in his RSS feed for the word "dialectic" (zero hits). I searched his feed for every guest spot by the Prudentialist. I cannot find this discussion of the dialectic.

Can Isaac offer any more clues which pod he's referring to?

Ah, it's on Prudentialist's podcast. I can't get at that one, he blocked me for some reason. Ah well. Sorry to waste your time, I should have checked the show notes.
