Mesmerising , made my whole body have chills , felt like a very deep mystery of frustration and delirium in me have been lighted on by his words , as it "answered" or clarified old complex dark questions in my mind , ive always felt madness is very real and we all suffer from it intensly , some of it is extremely unbearble and tormenting , and the word "doom" gets right in point . In my opinion just by hearing jason for the first time , and from the terms and paradoxes he uses , he may have one of brightest minds in this era. Thank you for your work 🙏

This is great, can't wait to read the books! I'm a sucker for this kind of architectural thinking which strikes me as very Deleuzean.

Thanks for the PR.

I keep being somewhat speechless after these but what wonderful insights all around!

I love this talk and I'm going to read the Omnicides now! Reminds me of this part in abecedaire - 'one doesn't go into delirium over one thing in particular, but the whole cosmos'. Deleuze said it with so much conviction that it stuck in my head, even though I don't know what it really means... but I think Mohaghegh does :o)

Watching this was like the strangest experience of my life. I recently had a severe, extended psychotic attack over the course of a day where I had repetitious omnicidal vocal hallucinations and delusional cycles. They were actually a lot like the ideas y'all talked. Especially Kafka (Love him), and when Craig brought up Posthumanism. It was odd how this omnicidal ideation brought me a lot of comfort. Once I just give up fighting this inner levithan of shame that I feel like comes from this philosophic feeling of schizophernia. I'm listening to Arendt's The Life of the Mind which highlights that "smelled the lie" feeling. I empathized with both sides of The Shaman of The Black story Mohaghegh mentioned. Recently I felt this sense of physical control of this unreal space in my mind, which caused discomfort as harmful "thought". Braidotti's lecture on Necropolitics and Posthumanism made me regret letting this shame derived from our digital panopticon culture (in the US at least) and fight against capitalism. I think this is why I respect extreme art like Peter Sotos' take on "Pornography" for example. Which strips pornographic material of this veneer of the erotic and romantic sides to sex. It poetically shows sex purely as a power dynamic, which is pretty similar to the feminist take on porn. I agree, but reading his stuff was pure misery. I'm glad it was. I felt this paranoia and loss of personal capital because I thought this stuff would destroy my morality... which tbh was kinda silly. It was like the same reaction I got as kid watching scary movies. Somehow those feelings kinda all collapsed as inspiration and hope recently for me. I can both play this role as moral, compassionate US citizen, and indulge in the "omnicidal" curiosity. Like this capitalism shit kinda killed my humanity and it's kinda tight. So many depressive thought holes exist because people keep assigning identity labels to me while also preaching about this collectivist fight against global systems. Now I just don't care. I'm kinda to a point where I think capitalism has taken over certain aspects of humanity and that's great! If I can give up 'emotion' by just obeying capitalism's rules, which grants me honestly such a relatively privileged life when you compare mine to the global population, deal! Feeling bad sucks and I donate. Sounds like a great deal! Also bought Omnicide 1, really excited to read it!

Finally! I have been looking forward to this one for a while. Keep up the great work. On a nother note, since you have now “interviewed” Ray Brassier and now Mohaghegh, will you try to get in contact with others from The New Center? Negarestani, Longo, Scallito, Malaspina. I think overlap is the (somewhat). Anyway love your stuff.

I second that! These thinkers, especially Negarestani, take spec theory to a hole nother level…

I own the first book. Its majestically grim

This guy is a sick puppy. But I can’t wait to read his books…

obsessional mania, remains a compulsion to repeat that which is driven through a fatal wish , a ranged within realities as apposed but apart from the power to imagine and will a new vision and to live that is mania proper.

Jason is great! Very funny how the best part is just him speaking, not the interjections lol

❤ wow

@emofoucault just sitting there so far looking very emo.

Wolf populations in Europe have been steadily increasing in recent years. They are not doomed to extinction.

Question: what are the main things that differentiate “omnicide” from being just another postmodern, petty bourgeois affectation, reflective of a particularly grim pessimism among people ensconced in academia?

Well, for one thing it probably doesn't find that it needs to answer to the bad conscience of certain Marxists who demand that every figure of philosophical creativity stand to be judged before their tribunal.
