what's Gnon and Moloch?
Show this thread
-
Gnon is Nick Land's inability to part with a conception of God. "Nature or Nature's God." He claims it only represents Evolution but how he uses it often betrays "just world" thinking combined with a paranoid slant bleeding in around the edges.

"In the story, Canute demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements (the incoming tide), explaining that secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God."
-
I am extremely suspicious of anyone who says "trust in God" as their answer to "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
-
That's not really his answer tho.
-
Don't see him saying trust anything here.

Given how he praises Cnut, I'll believe he doesn't want me to trust in his petty God when he stops being surprised when people announce their intent to rebel against it. This might be a result of threat underfitting, but I don't particularly care.

Again Gnon is not god, but a not-god. It is Nature in all of its entropic terror/beauty. You can't rebel against it because it is the field on which all rebellion takes place. You can 'rebel' against the water because you can't breath it but that is largely a waste of energy...
