The 1AC’s anti-humanism fulfills the capitalist project of ultimate dissolution of the human subject in favor of deterritorialized flowsNegarestani (Reza, horror writer and independent philosopher based in the Middle East. “Drafting the Inhuman: Conjectures on Capitalism and Organic Necrocacy pg. 184) DR 15

According to this double-faced image of capitalism predicated upon the politico-economical insinuations of the death-drive, in gaining its own angular momentum capitalism brings forth an emancipation in terms other than those of the human. In this case, whilst capitalism is open to human interests, it also moves towards a planetary emancipation wherein the capitalist singularity departs from human purposiveness and privileges. This image of capitalism as something that can simultaneously be in the service of human interests and be an inhuman model of emancipation has become a common romantic trope among philsophers who advocate capitalism as that which is capable of wedding the concrete economy of human life to a cosmos where neither being nor thinking enjoy any privilege. As Nick Land has elaborated in The Thirst for Annihilation as well as his essays, what brings about the possibility of this weird marriage between human praxis and inhuman emancipation is the tortuous economy of dissipation inherent to capitalism as its partially repressed desire for meltdown." Although the economy of dissipation can be captured by humans through a libidinal materialist participation with the techno-capitalist singularity, it ultimately escapes the gravity of humans and entails their dissolution into the inorganic exteriority. Capitalism in this sense is not an attainable state but rather a dissipative (anti-essence) tendency or process which moves along the detours of organizational complexity, increasing commodification and convoluted syntheses of techne and physis so as to ultimately deliver human's conservative horizon into an unbound state of dissolution. Immunological impulses of capi talism against its implicit

desire for meltdown are doomed to fail as capitalism fully gains it angular momentum by reaping planetary resources and conceiving its irreparably schizophrenic image. Machinic desire can seem a little inhuman, as it rips up political cultures, deletes tradit ions, dissolves subjectivities, and hacks through security apparatuses, tracking a soulless tropism to zero control. This is because what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must3ssemllc itself entirely from its enemy's resources."

It is this singularized deliverance of the human to the state of dissolution ----concomitant with its pulverizing impact on the correlation between thought and the self-love of man (viz. organic survivalism)-that assigns capitalism an inhuman emancipatory role. This model of emancipation is comparable with H.P. Lovecraft's fantastic concept 'holocaust of freedom' which celebrates the consummation of human doom with human emancipation. Thus through a politico-economic reappropriation of Fr eud’s theory of the death-drive , Nick Land identifies capital as a planetary singularity towards utter dissipation whose dynamism becomes more complicated as it circuitously verges upon zero. Once th e commodity system IS established t here IS no longer a need for an autonomous cultural impetus into the order of the abstract object. Capital attains its own ‘angular momentum,’ perpetuating a run-away whirlwind of dissolution, whose hub is the virtual zero of impersonal metropolitan accumulation. At the peak of its productive prowess the human animal is hurled into a new nakedness, as everything stable is progressively liquidated in the storm.

The collusion between science and capitalism imparts an alarmingly critical sig- nificance to such inspections into the relation between capitalism and its image as an inevitable singularity that coheres with the compulsive regression of the organism to- ward the inorganic exteriority. The collusion of capitalism with science enables capitalism to incorporate contemporary science's continuous disenchantment of cosmos as the locus of absolute objectivity and inevitable extinction, In doing so, capitalism can establish a concurrently inevitable and emancipative image of itself: Capitalism is inevitable because it terrestrially coincides with and converges upon the cosmic 'truth of extinction' (Brassier); it is emancipative because it harbours the debacle of human and binds the enlightening disenchantment implicit in dissolution as an objectifying truth.'! In other words, the complicity of science and capitalism provides capitalism with a speculative weapon capable of imposing capitalism as the universal horizon of politico-economic problems as well as the ultimate mode of departure from the restricting ambitt of the terrestrial sphere. Whilst the former grants capitalism a vector of participation, the latter constitutes capitalism's crafty model of emancipation
