Accelerationism, perhaps it is about ultimate vitalism, an anti anything that gets in the way of creation and invention. If Capitalism gets in the way, if democracy gets in the way, it will be overcome. Anything that is a free rider, is anti vital, should/will be stopped. Land argues that Democracy is a free rider on the back of industrialisation, that it is parasitic and therefore anti vital, because most legislation is just limiting legislation. We can see these ideas behind Trumps current conflict with the American judiciary and Democratic system.

Well personal continuation will be the first thing to go. I agree, it sounds horrific.

I think it is based in it’s worst manifestation on the disillusionment of the individual as the final vestige of society. That is there will not be an I and you in the same way. The self will be anhilated by Capitalism and unable to will anymore, consumed by incorporated Capitalistic desires. This may lead to transhumanism , where we transcend physically by becoming part man part machine and become the ultimate vechile for science.

Accelerationism seems to be a very new and not that well defined theory. I have resevations, but am still interested. At the moment I think I am most intersted in the way the ideas have translated into politics and films etc.

I was subscribed to this channel more or less from the start of my time on YouTube, one of those weird coincidences.

I am not anti academic, the accelaration theory has had a big effect on politics. The Guardian article may of been over simplifying the movement and it did paint a distopic picture of the people involved, as in their all being depressed and hedonistic. Just thought it was good to be aware of these arguments so you can take a position on these ideas and see them underneath a lot of presentations, like Trump, Blair etc. Those political arguments that say we should let this happen so that the oppression will be too much and then over thrown.

Yes the comfortable academics in a way. Why do they think their theories will all work out with the ends they envision ? Also I thought coming from the post humanist school of thought, that they would be more tentative about achieving ends, like the next phase or end of Capitalism. I suspect a disguised ‘scientism’  perhaps based in the Marxist theory of the ‘progressiveness of history’ , which I think is the most difficult part of Marxist theory.

@”kFoyauextlH” 
I appreciate your worry about women getting into dangerous situations, when drunk especially and I agree. Learning to be responsible around intoxicants is important. Also make sure for certain you are with people you trust not to take advantage, especially never do much drinking at work do’s.

I would really like to say I am relaxed about such things as drugs and alcohol,  but from experience I know they can consume too much of peoples life.  I think if one is to drink then one should be able to be dry for a month at least from time to time. Wine is a useful pain killer especially for cramps, I would prescribe it over ibuprofen. I think mushrooms can be taken once in a while and outside, not in a box room in the middle of the city. Mushrooms show you a different perspective and perhaps highlight things that have been annoying you that have kept in the background, for me it is straight lines, everything  in the city is made of straight lines as if the lines are herding you in certain directions. Whereas in nature eveything is very fluid and curved. I suppose that is a truth that I felt already, but it was uncovered by the mushroom experience. Meditation can also bring about new or clearer realisations, I would say yoga corrects postures and the way you feel and move in the world. As to things being real or not ? I suspect a false or too rigid dichotomy caused by our ontological realist assumed metaphysics, also the divisions we create with categories and words like objective and subjective. Is a rainbow real ?

Hi there, just wondered how this duty to be free and encourage freedom could apply to law, would we not preference some freedoms above others through habit, like the right to own property over freedom of movement ? Or would there be no law as law is backed by force which is not freedom. Ideally there would be no law.

[Rubsy]

Sounds interesting.

You can be true to your art, although it might not harm if you have a project in mind. That meaning that you consider the space you want it to be in the questions you want it to bring up etc. Maybe the art funding side and how art is valued is part of the discourse ?
