Dugin is a kind of Zizek of Russian multipolar geopolitical thought. He’s always been good at quickly grasping new political situations and giving them his own philosophical sheen. In the past he has spoken apocalyptically of AI and transhumanism, considering them to be part of the threat to worldwide tradition coming from western liberalism. I can’t see him engaging in wishful thinking like “humans and AIs coexist as equals” or “AIs migrate to outer space leaving the Earth for humans”, so I will be interested to see what he says going forward. I greatly regret that his daughter (Daria Dugina) was assassinated, because she was taking a serious interest in the computer age’s ontology of personhood, but from a Neoplatonist perspective; who knows what she might have come up with.
Alexander Dugin speaks of “trumpo-futurism” and “dark accelerationism”.
