While I was still researching and writing for "Nick Land and the Right Hand Path" I ended up getting a lot of ideas for other things to write about, so consider this a bonus article.

Nick Land’s God(s) (The Destroyer and the Aeon)

Know the Self always to be everywhere, one and undivded. Avadhuta Gita, Verse 1:12 Ever since I saw Andrew Culp bring it up at the end of hi

Speculation on how Land's presentation of God (or, perhaps, "an atheistic God").
