How is capital going to escape from a gulag? I jest, so where's the _point_ of disagreement, human action effecting possible future divergences?

only farmers ever went to gulags, tbf. anyway, the point of the disagreement is whether the question is "what should be done" or "what happened". u/acc aligns with the latter.

'Only farmers went to gulags?' I'd push Solzhenitsyn but I'm guessing you're on the 'his numbers are high' camp? So then zacc and uacc are the same, if the question is 'what happened?'

well, zacc is the proposition that the answer to what happened is "capital can't take care of itself".

We will have the answer to this in the next 20-50 years globally, and some places the answer is pretty clear...at least to me.

Replying to @meta_nomad @cyborg_nomade and
At least we got somewhere. The split is the age old question of humans having authority over their reality, free will. Henlo academy!

I think this is precisely it.

So in short, from uacc human action is tied to capital a priori?

I would say that humans have consistently over-estimated their level of conscious control. Almost to the point where we can formulate a definition of the human from this characteristic. "Human is the animal that believes itself to have a will"

The main argument, I guess in relation to capital. And it's not much of an argument, is that 'thus far' we've had -at least- a semblance of agency greater than other animals, which is ripe for questioning out motive in the universe.

I do think that capital can be derailed. But such an action, far from being emancipatory, would be catastrophic at the level of extinction.

You think capital can be derailed, ok, agreed. What, in your opinion, are the ways in which it can be derailed?

if it can be derailed (I'm not nearly as convinced of this as Max seems to be), it sure as hell can't be derailed by some apes doing some apeshit
