Working on a short book/guide on "Practical Accelerationism", all written in layman's terms. No ghey Nick Land sh*t or other outside influences, revamped and redefined by me (and potential some other notable badboys)

I don't get it why would you had deceleration authors to acc... Sounds gay but ok.
-
Because both types of thinkers are aware of and describe the same process, they're talking about the same thing which is the acceleration of technocapital. Deceleration thinks it's bad (correct) and acc the opposite.
-
So then we are able to take Kaczynskis understanding of the material and psychological problems associated with tech and expand them into a new context. Deceleration is Primitivism with an understanding of accelerationisms description of technomodernity.
-
Dialectic with Land and D&G enable us to take Primitivism further because we incorporate a thorough understanding of how and why technocapital accelerates which is deeper and broader and has demonstrable predictive power.
-
Yeah i get that They both describe the same process, same sympton, yet different cures in a sense. With transhumanists one doesn't even see anything bad with the symptons or trajectory
-
Yeah exactly. It's the same reason a nationalist for example might want to have a good understanding of communism or globalism, or a hunter might want to understand the behevior of deer.
-
Nationalism can easily default towards Marxism (accelerationism towards class or civil warfare) because virtually all Marxist revolutions turn into hardcore nationalist states eventually because oligarchy becomes iron law within society.
-
That's out of the scope here for me, I'm just suggesting that you know your enemy as much as possible and that understanding acc gives Primitivism insight in this area which is valuable.
