How would you characterize Muskian futures in ideological terms? (Mars colonization, aggressive climate action, lots of sci-fi visions)? It's neither the basic SV neowhig libertarian future, nor the basic NYT-op-ed progressive future. Nor is it Thiel-Trump reactionary.
It sort of breaks the determinate/indeterminate optimism divide. The anchor pieces are determinate, but the broader sensibility is indeterminate. It is "approach problems from first principles with an element of wacky imagination"
I'd call it accelerationism except it lacks the attendant anxious mood. Though it has a lot of momentum, it lacks a visibly anxious sense of reactive urgency/race against time. There's something almost calming about it. Like it's a high-speed ASMR future.
I think I'm guilty of not taking it seriously enough in the past because even though I'm a fan of it, it always felt like a cartoon future. I'm a fan of Muskism the way I'm a fan of Rick and Morty.
libertarian accelerationism?
This sounds pretty wrong to me. There's definitely a strong sense of fun, but there is also a strong sense of choosing to do the right thing and attacking for eg. climate change. You may not agree with their ideas, but that doesn't mean they are insincere in their own terms.
INTJ who builds? reminds me of George Lucas who identified and put together first vfx company to engineer and achieve shots on “wacky” star wars. Also identified using Joseph Campbell to engineer mythic resonance -seems cliche now but at time was prob like first principling Story
Yeah that seems about right. It’s definitely a top-down vision, but not totalizing like high modernism. He’s not a tech version of Le Corbusier or Robert Moses. Muskism recognizes that other dynamics unfold around it and is happy to play/compete with them as necessary.
