A while ago I read a Nick Land essay that I can't for the life of me find again.
I swear it was titled or had the words "Donut City" in the title. Hence why I originally read it on a whim because it had such an odd name.
The main thesis had to do with the concept of the "Bad Neighborhood" and how inner city corruption leads to a kind of social rot that pushes everything "good" to the periphery. Hence the term "Donut City" being a city where the core is unsalvageable but the suburbs are perfectly fine.
What was of interest to me was that Donut Cities create "Donut People". I.e. a person whose "good on the outside" but rotten in the core.
It was such an intriguing thesis that I wanted to read it again but for the life of me I can't find it. Am I tripping? Is anyone else familiar with Nick Land know what I'm talking about?
Maybe I mixed up Land with another author when I was reading random Ccru essays? Has anyone heard of this concept before?

Such instructions could actually endanger people — citizens receive air strike warnings via smartphone alerts. Ukrainian forces successfully attacked Russian vehicles in the capital city of Kyiv thanks to a public tip made through the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Ukraine's top law-enforcement agency said on Tuesday. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders.
