#noumenal

[thirdity]

We did not fall because of a moral error; we fell because of an intellectual error: that of taking the phenomenal world as real. Therefore we are morally innocent. It is the Empire in its various disguised polyforms which tells us we have sinned. "The Empire never ended."

Philip K. Dick, VALIS

“If I had only known earlier that indeterminacy involves all of life I might fathom the luminous story surrounding all things noumenal.”

'Desire is irrevocably abandoning the social, in order to explore the libidinized rift between a disintegrating personal egoism and a deluge of post-human schizophrenia [Fanged Noumena, Nick Land, 342]' What is met at the apex of desire is horror, pure horror; horror at the incalculable, irredeemable, and irrational reasoning behind the actions of desire-in-itself. What is connected to flesh in the transaction of desire is capital's vampiric investigation into the potentiality for its intelligent continuity. The senselessness of desire is found within death. The post-human schizophrenia alluded to by the still figure, is the human acquisition of a paradox which inevitably destroys its very nature. Pre-schizophrenic man attunes himself to nation, family, ego, identity, labor, consumption, production, libidinality, God, faith, and self within the confines of finitude. What allows each of these striated finite perturbations meaning and purpose is their existence within a rotting time, a time which runs out, a garbage time. One wishes in time that their nation shall progress to glory, that their family shall grow strong, that they shall develop as a person, that they will earn more, consume more, produce more, fuck more, pray more, shit more, and be more; each of these acts as process can be coherently defined within a linear phenomenal reality. Once man dissociates and detaches, once he takes the line of flight into the non-passage of the schizophrenic, his being is not only drawn from the anchorage of humanist past times and units, but implicit in this action is his Being drawn from death; the post-human schizophrenic is removed from death via its transportation into a non-finite temporality. In the analyzed moment of transaction, man comes to face the horror of schizo-possibility, a brief glimpse into the fragmentary nature of diagrammatics and the illusory notion of phenomenal continuation. Time is capitalism's only resource, what cannot be done with time is useless, as it has no proof. The dialectic of unitary production and consumption is subsumed into a single resource and given over to pure time. All conceptualization of tradition, lineage, hereditation, myth, individualism, and culture amalgamate into a fluxing wellspring of the Outside, which economizes an output of greater intelligence. 'Markets learn to manufacture intelligence. [Fanged Noumena, Nick Land 441].'

“Reality remains veiled; nobody knows it, and everything is an interpretation. We are “blind to the world”; we are not looking outside, but rather inside our own heads. We are reading from the brain, watching a film that runs on our cortex. We are prisoners of an inner world, of a machine that produces a virtual reality. So it ends that the senses—our only means of contact with the external world—keep us separated from it through representations that are not real.”

– Massimo Citro, The Basic Code of the Universe: The Science of the Invisible in Physics, Medicine, and Spirituality

From the perspective of mere representation, the external world always remains only a phenomenon.
