… or what happens when you give massive amounts of meth to academic pomo philosophy majors…
There were some interesting ideas in there in the beginning, albeit not as original as some thought. A lot of that stuff just goes back to cybernetics, psychedelia, and occultism. But then the CCRU turned a bit culty and some of them including Land lost their minds.
The Land went full fascist. There seems to be a connection between fascism and heavy stimulant abuse, like fascism is the politics of meth.
That association goes way back too. There’s a book called Blitzed about how the Nazis were using meth. Seems to check out since starting a war on two huge fronts is a total meth move.
- breckinloggins 3y agoI wonder if this is the result of becoming desensitized to ever-more-radical ideas until one arrives at either fascism or some other hardcore uncompromising -ism? Kind of like a porn addiction but for philosophy, politics, and ethics.
- FooBarBizBazz 3y agoIt's funny, then, that meth is a prescription drug given to children (and adults) to increase their tolerance for existence within academic/corporate hierarchies.
- convolvatron 3y agowhy do you find that contradictory?
- api 3y agoNot the same thing at all. The dosages for one are much lower, and people with ADD have a different reaction. ADD is real. It’s not something people make up and it’s not a social pathology. It’s no different from people needing eyeglasses.

- FooBarBizBazz 3y agoDesoxyn ® is literally methamphetamine hydrochloride.
- davemp 3y ago> . . . people with ADD have a different reaction Do you have any sources for this? I’ve heard this repeated a couple of times but have never encountered a good source.
- trasz4 3y agoNot a proper source, but have you ever met someone with undiagnosed ADD and wondered why do they drink obscene amounts of coffee or energy drinks? It's a self-medication; it makes it much easier to focus.
