Most people with any interest in tech or politics (and especially both) will have heard of Curtis Yarvin. But I still see little discussion of Nick Land, the Ayn Rand of our time. Who came up a lot of the anti-democratic, techno-accelerationist and self-important dogma preached by Yarvin and his ilk.

This short video by @Sisyphus55 gives some background, including his early association with Mark Fisher, which was news to me;

The QWERTY keyboard was designed to reduce mechanical jamming in early typewriters.

We kept it for computers. Which don't jam.

How many of our systems are just preserved solutions to problems that no longer exist?

And how would we even know?
