Nick Land!
No but I like the review, especially since, even though it appears, at least from this one article, that our reviewer is just some trad-cath reactionary, the critique is all there, and even the reviewers seeming religious position actually transforms into its opposite, as nothing can escape such a totemic worldview of violent forces and powers in various relations that mask themselves amongst individuals that fail to see their collective psyches, or rather that failure is constitutive in their identification with said collective.
I am partial to interesting posthumanist takes, but then again I'm a Hacker News user! I hope the author finds God or whatever (or maybe, God is trans, woooaah, but you never thought of that huh...)
Addendum: I realize that the possibility of freedom from the egregore depends on the recognition of the conditions of possibility of participating in discourse (ie being egregored already), which would then give some level of "freedom" in a practical sense from forces of intelligence that stretch beyond what one normally senses...a very Kantian position. But, after all, Nick Land was a Kantian, so its to be expected.
