- the former U/Acc take unconditionality with regards to acceleration as a priori, and thus do not adhere to the notion of free will wrt humans (or the universe), as such that which happens...happens, what will be will be. Personal opinion: Does this not make U/Acc nihilism?
You've completely missread my point. Hierarchy isn't the same as competition. People can compete but still not adhere to a common objective better or worse.

-
competition necessarily produces dynamic hierarchy (to the extent that some succeed and others fail). of course, it destroys static hierarchy. but the existence of static hierarchy is atithetical to acceleration.
-
What about status hierarchy in the short term as a means for wealth utilisation?
-
isn't that wealth better spent on machinery?
-
Machinery that will never be made because people can't organize themselves.
-
there's no higher incentive to organisation than relentless competition. I'm really not getting your point here. you think the ancien regime's aristocracy was good at organising capital production?
-
Each step in history got us closer to organising capital production did it not?
-
there are quibbles to be had about that linear structure (my take is that at least something of value was produced with each new communication system), but even if that's accepted, it's also a movement away from static hierarchies.
-
also, the way I see it, one of the most pungent critiques of the Cathedral by NRx is exactly that it's become a static status hierarchy, stagnant and decadent.
