Steve Sailer is one of my favourite bloggers but I dunno if he’d consider himself a reactionary exactly. Nick Land I’ve mostly heard rumours about him having crazy ideas.
My impression is that Land decided a long time ago to side with ‘intelligence’ in the abstract, in a sense that inevitably led him to antihumanism, and that he supports neoreaction insofar as he sees potential in its proposals to unchain institutional intelligences that he thinks are more worthy of support than anything human.
(I think he should look into the Italian Futurists, try to grok the aesthetic of them and the things around them and see what sorts of things they’d come up with. It’s not that far from capitalism to war, for one. But I don’t think it’s too likely that he will; even if Moldbug hadn’t reinforced the belief that nothing interesting ever came out of anything that had anything to do with the losing side of that particular war, the taboo there is still strong.)
