We can see from this derisory description of white nationalism that Land actually rejects its racist biological determinism as much as the left’s social constructivist views of oppression. For Land, what both left and right’s obsession with

all-too-human differences overlooks is that an entirely new, artificially intelligent species is on the rise. Whereas white nationalists, conservatives and libertarians alike argue that capitalism is good for humanity (or at least the West) in that it generates the wealth of nations, Land holds that it is good because of the way it renders us obsolete before its technological march towards the creation of a new AI technospecies, or what Land calls ‘the bionic horizon’: ‘when seen from the bionic horizon, whatever emerges

from the dialectics of racial terror remains trapped in trivialities. It’s time to move on’.
