Nick Land Explains the Numogram

In this episode of "The Dangerous Maybe," Michael Downs interviews Nick Land, joined by Nance, to unpack the Numogram, a central concept in CCRU's work. Land provides a detailed introduction, starting with the Barker spiral and its Atlantean/Lemurian sides, then diving into Masonic arithmetic, digital reduction, triangular numbers, and the esoteric Tetractys. The discussion explores the significance of zero, the retrocausal nature of hermetic intelligence, and the relationship between the Numogram, the I Ching, and the outside, with Land clarifying his views on multiplicity and the role of lofty powers. The conversation touches on the practical application of the Numogram, the nature of communication with the outside, and the potential for a convergence between technocapitalist and religious perspectives.
