r/acc has a problem with 'trans' because they have not sufficiently emptied themselves of the remnants that tie them to the world presently constituted. This is the "r" in r/acc. There are other features of their ideology that would equally be considered a drag.

The notion of escape velocity arguably presupposes a point prior to which the whole thing is still vulnerable to terrestrial forces... R/acc takes this threat seriously and refuses to just handwave it away. It's not about harnessing /acc to bring back the Renaissance or Rome.
Now I want the r/acc primer. What are these terrestrial forces and how do we separate them those things that are merely drags on the process? What parties of order can save us?

[Furthermore, U/acc's diagonal path to Escape Velocity *may* be overly simplistic. A helical path spiralling / oscillating between poles of Deterritorialisation / Reterritorialisation *may* be the optimum, meta-evolutionary pathway to the Singularity...]
-
Uh nobody has ever denied the reciprocal reterritorialization following deterritorialization... per D&G that oscillation *is* absolute deterritorialization, with the internal deterritorialization being relative deterritorialization.
-
The point is that relative deterritorialization + reterritorialization, in the context of socio-political & even econoimc forces, constitute expenditures and calibrations of a process that is downstream from its production
-
It then becomes a question of how one operates in relation to that process (and herein the divergences lie, though I note that both sides reject political universalism and large-scale managerial/social engineering solutions -- at least they better be)
-
Certainly.
