Again, if that meme-complex is not about unconditioning, the unconditional, etc, (even without naming it constantly) the its about nothing, really. “Letting go” of the conditions of U/acc means it’s just base accelerationism. Which, in that case, is complicitness with anon forces

“Terrorism”, or blowback or black opts teams, or... are clustered intervening agencies affecting outcomes at much larger scales than at which they operate. There are many examples of demonstrated glitches in the machines.
The question is how successful such actors are at creating scenarios that aren't simply routed around.

Yeah. That is precisely the question. Can clustered agencies affect the circuits enough to sway broader tendencies? I say yes. Y’all say “nay, let that shit go man.” That to me is thanatological path. Prometheus at least had guts.

promethean modernity, sounds like great fuel for the conflagration -
Ha! What about promethean mutationism (with continuity)? Which is where I’m at. Fuck modernity. Was a temp stop long on much creepier journey.
-
tbh the creepy journey of promethean mutationism is exactly how I would describe modernity/the accelerative process!
-
Take the Area X story for example. One crack in reality, one external glitch in the smooth systems of modernity, or one agental force from the Outside changed/mutated the whole trajectory of human history. That’s whole point of being ontologically exposed to/within the Outside.
-
What you're describing here is *exactly* how I understand the process. Also I'm noting the irony of invoking a mutational extinction story...
-
I know how nuanced your position is Ed. Do all your brethren share your mutationist stance? Does u/acc as a set of thematic operators support the notion that some patchworks might include agents of sapience continuity in some human recognizable form? I doubt it.
-
Isn't that the whole point of patchwork?
