This is also the key point for D&G in C&S, which is why they eschew attempts to exit the system via grand revolution, but do not see the lock-in as identical to homogenization (and we shouldn't either)
I'm ok with complicity, as I generally see the horror that is to come is better than the alternative horror that could come.

At least you are honest about that. Which is appreciated. What do you see as the horror to come? And what is this worse fate you would like to avoid?

Well we are wandering into speculative territory here but... For example, technological advancement is the best path to solve the ecological crisis but such development can only occur through experimentation unguided by political concerns.

Why must it only happen through means unguided by political concerns? Why the must?

You can't imagine how politics or morality will interfere in the development of technology? CRISPR? AI? For these two, it is not difficult imagining a left/right coalition standing against it.

This is one of the chief reasons Land says that China is the future. Confucianism is more flexible on this tech than Christianity (in its left or right variant).

As I said earlier, complicity imo is unavoidable, so I'm not worried at all about being labeled a collaborater or w/e. And that's what "let go" is about. It's important to keep the "do what thou wilt" plugged in there. You acknowledge complicity, release oneself from the maniacal

urge to drive the system (this is an affirmation of fate - amor fati), and from there carry out experimentation. Trying to drive the system is integrative, while the logic of the system is disintegrative. It will break you, so experiment in the direction of disintegration.
