Then there's Bataille. Interestingly, Land's first and only published book when he was still associated with academic philosophy was The Thirst for Annihilation: Georges Bataille and Virulent Nihilism, which was the first English book to engage with Bataille's writings. Land draws a lot from Bataille; it could almost be said that Bataille provides the underlying motive power of Land's thought.
One of the core ideas that Land draws from Bataille and uses to motivate his theories is the idea of the solar economy: the idea that the sun is a source of superabundant energy, radiated outward in all directions without drawing anything into itself to power it — so purely emissive, hence "solar anus" —, more energy than the Earth could possibly use up just with maintaining life in some kind of homeostasis. At a fundamental level, the Earth as a thermodynamic system must find a way to use this excess energy — energy over and above what is necessary for survival — up; if it isn't used one way, it will burst out, raging and destroying in another area; thus, for Bataille, while the problem of "restricted economies" (specific, limited subsystems of Earth as a whole system, like a single country or community) may be scarcity, the problem of "general economy," the Earth as a total thermodynamic system, is not scarcity but excess, and how to burn it off. In the past, we did that with religious sacrifices, tribal gift giving and feasting rituals, monuments like the Pyramids, imperial wars of conquest, and so on; today, we do it, Land argues, through capital and technology, which are seen as coming about specifically to soak up all the extra energy available to us and dissipate it, accelerating the conversion of solar energy into entropy. For Bataille, this is a natural requirement of all systems, from biological to psychological to environmental; engaging in expenditure and pure loss, not bound by utility or survival or balance, is necessary and inevitable, and it will either happen through human sacrifice and wars, or it will happen through other means. Thus, for Land, the idea that you can have a degrowth economy, a sustainable economy, all these things that the Left claims it wants, is absurd.
Here's a quote from Bataille on the matter from The Accursed Share, Vol. 1:
"I will begin with a basic fact: The living organism, in a situation determined by the play of energy on the surface of the globe, ordinarily receives more energy than is necessary for maintaining life; the excess energy (wealth) can be used for the growth of a system (e.g., an organism); if the system can no longer grow, or if the excess cannot be completely absorbed in its growth, it must necessarily be lost without profit; it must be spent, willingly or not, gloriously or catastrophically." (ASV1 21)
Or, as Bataille says in his earlier, more surrealist essay The Solar Anus:
The sun love[s] the earth only to the extent that it [is] a surface of discharge.
Another idea that Land pulls from Bataille is this idea of "low materialism." Bataille felt that previous materialisms, since the time of Hobbes, which favored a sort of mechanistic, "well oiled clockwork mechanism" picture of material, were forms of idealism in disguise, assuming as they did that matter was governed by order, sense, reason, cause and effect — in other words, ideas. Against that, Bataille asserted that matter was arational, noumenous — existed to disrupt and contradict human understanding, reason, logic, and order, to impinge, protrude, erupt through the maps we laid onto the world to make sense of it. Matter was entropic, random, scrambled, or always tending toward that. Thus Bataille was obsessed with dissolution, with the muck, shit, and dirt of matter, more than the clean movement of heavenly spheres. Land took this to another level, identifying the environmental ruination (say, of strip mining rare earth minerals, or the effluent streaming from factories and treatment plants, or the radioactive isotopes left over from nuclear reactors, or the coal belched into the air), climate catastrophe (meltdown), technological scrambling and merging of human society, the rust and iron and soot of industrial work, with this "low matter."
