I like Wolf, but this is old wine in a new bottle.
This is just Nietzschean โOvercome historical moralistic baggage that holds us backโ from the Genealogy of Morals 1 combined with Foucaldian antihumanism. Itโs just accelerationism, in other words, in somewhat different garb. I mean, Nick Land has been writing the same shit since the 1990s. The whole CCRU project was Deleuze-Guattari plus Nietzsche plus cybernetics, with the human seen as a bottleneck to progress.
Regardless, there is no way to credit โwhat we really areโ without an implicit normative story about which capacities count as the real ones and which are historical baggage. There is no way around this; part of any useful philosophy is making value judgments. What Wolf is doing is reinventing the wheel while not even knowing what a wheel is or why there are wheels.
