Accelerationism is the same error that all westerners make, thinking that humanity is the same as western civilization.So, they assume a collapse of the west is a collapse of humanity.When the west is just one of many human civilizations.Also, Nick forgets that human civilizations or nations have things like religion that has diferent egregores that can cause effects in reality, like magic.This nigga literally can't think outside of the framework of western materialism.Like most materailist frameworks, can only understand reality and humanity throught the lenses of capitalism.By example, muslims and hindus doesn't operate throught materialism.
isnt acceleration optimistic though, rather than nihilist? its assuming technological progress can just easily happen if we let it. but that is a very big and hopeful assumption. sure the nihilist strain of nick land's acceleration is that tech can progress enough where AI gets so smart it doesnt even need humanity at all and just discards us. but even that feels kind of hopeful compared to modern stagnation
>>545205959but stagnation assumes that because the west is stagnant, then all of humanity is stagnant.Same issue with correlating the west to all humans.Some nations simply reject the west values, like afganistan and Iran.
I mean, if you destroy the planet, it doesn't matter where someones lives and what their culture is, they'll get rug pulled too.
>>545207013It's hard to destroy all life.Not even shit like the KG event that wiped the dinosaurs of the end of the triasic mega russian explossion killed all life.
>>545205371Humans shall merge with machines and AI and we don't have the brain processing power to imagine what that will look like. Probably bizarre and horrifying to our inferior consciousnesses, eg. crab people or spending your entire life in a vat of goo, but in reality we'll be happier and more productive and less concerned with superficial things.
>>545207821that makes a lot of assumptions as facts.It's like cryofreezing fags.In reality all the cryofreezed rich people of like 80 years ago are uncoverable by now.
>>545206884> Some nations simply reject the west values, like afganistan and IranAnd replaced them with what?
accelerationists are not nihilists you communist narco macaco
>>545208190dont engage in discussion with a soulless fucking animal
>>545205371>infographicthat ideology started on the left and moved to the right
>>545205371Is a philosophy specifically ment for people with narcisicissim and border line personality disorder.
>>545208190replace what?Muslims don't operate throught western frameworks.For them, they replace modern Islam with a return to older more clasical periods.If anything they will replace modern islam with wahabism or any 18-19 century ideology.
