After making a huge fuss about how important it is to be rational, and how rationality proves everything is meaningless, and dissing Heidegger for using poetical language to advocate meaningfulness, Brassier’s _Nihil Unbound_ advocates this ULTRA RATIONAL proof of meaninglessness 
Brassier’s lust for annihiliation is so powerful that, after a hundred pages of reductionist neurobollocks, he explains the sun’s explosion “is at once earlier than the birth of the first unicellular organism, and later than the extinction of the last multicellular animal.”
Somehow nihilism makes you want to sound extremely rational at the same time it destroys your ability to check the simplest inferences for logical validity.
The book’s final paragraph exhibits the Cotard delusion, a symptom of extreme depression: you believe you are already dead.
This is regarded (by some!) as one of the most important works of philosophy of the last several decades.

Philosophy as a discipline has just gone absolutely, catastrophically, unfixably wrong. Wipe the disk, wipe the boot loader, start over with the bare metal.
