"the materialist maximalism does serve the obliterating function Kyle’s talking about” <— thank you for unraveling this thread a bit, it’s very hard to explain, with the parallel “eliminativist tendency”
What did you mean by negative futurist btw? I assumed something like dogs-not-barking or negative space, but some seem to have read it as pessimistic (which isn't right since I don't approach futures with a pessimist/optimist frame at all)

yeahhhh to me it was like ‘futurist of negation’ or ‘futurist of no-future’ … I can’t see pessimistic futurist as a meaningful phrase so i didn’t think it would be read that way

or if I meant pessimistic I would have made that literal; the way your ideas are explained is def not necessarily pessimistic
