Yeah. Land introduced both terms and used them interchangeably, but what is important is that it is an attempt to think acceleration-in-itself. I don't see much of a different between this and what ObCap was/is doing (dunno what they would think of that claim though, haha)

And, clearly, the call to avoid politicalization of the process operates as a reminder to just embrace the trajectory (take the brakes off, because they won’t work anyway) to see it through to its conclusion?

And no one sees how “embrace, and take the brakes off, because they won’t work anyway” makes you complicit the capitalist processes?

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.

I can, but what the ‘must’? . I can also imagine a politics that embraces both those technologies. I have a good imagination. Politics managed the advent of nuclear tech. Capitalization of nukes may not have become the most beneficial option/trajectory.

It is also not clear to me that politics managed the advent of nuclear tech, more than strapped itself in and was taken for a ride. Once the physics became possible, could not be developed? Once the US used it once, could it have been stopped?
