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?

Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country. In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. In view of this, the regulator has cautioned investors not to rely on such investment tips / advice received through social media platforms. It has also said investors should exercise utmost caution while taking investment decisions while dealing in the securities market. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change.
