yeah all of those critiques are on point. i guess i always equated acc with dissolution. i.e. U/ACC.
That’s also why I find u/acc more interesting than the other variants: it rejects their utopian end-states for an ongoing process. Yet it also takes the “There is no alternative” mantra to absurd lengths: at the heart of all acc. is a ceding of the future, not an invention of it.

Ecology remains the blind spot of accelerationism, although some segments of l/acc and u/acc get close in their own ways. I’m waiting for some mad Eco-Guattarian to turn this Deleuzian-Thatcherite ship around. Re-seeding a ceded future!
-
Hells yeah. An ecologistical recalibration geared for sustainable communalistic patchworking.

There is no ecological panacea. That train left long ago. The earth is a wasteland and nothing can/will be done about it. To quote John Berryman: “... too late. This is not for tears.”
-
See, even that’s too confident a prognostication for me to agree with. No different in kind than Acc singularity simulated certainty. What’s interesting is that my orientation for patchworking is more about survivalism and anticipating future needs and modes of existence.
-
The new modes are already in motion, yer right.

So the question is: how do we position ourselves, and equity ourselves, and ready our groups in ways that’s that a) help is let go of what is obsolete, and b) patch together what is needed to weather the storms.

We currently find ourselves in an ant’s nest that’s been flooded, and we discover a whole fauna had been with us all along. Like-minded ants need to regroup, battle the megafauna and build a new nest. Smaller, more effective against further megafauna attacks.

you can’t make the future and see it at the same time

We can’t see the future, period. We can work with trends, probabilities, and informed projections - but never ‘the’ future. It’s a constant negotiation of reality between vision, action, revision.
-
true, if you’re immersed in action
