Nishiki's decelerationist thing seems internally consistent, but why anyone would want to shackle the universe's creative intelligence is beyond me.

Even being as charitable as possible, shackle seems reasonable to me. The essay is practically a catalogue of prohibitions: no AI, no markets, no evolution beyond the ape, no leaving the garden, no demons, no transgression of unitary being...

Maybe I am pigeonholed. If you want to spell out what kind of "evolution" or "creative power" decelerationism will make possible, I'm all ears. But as far as I can tell, it's defined in opposition to evolution.

Accelerationism (except of the left variety) isn't "utopian" in any sense. Land is cool with bargaining away human extinction in the near-mid-term. Utopianism is a humanist ideology.
