Comment on Accelerationism: how a fringe philosophy predicted the future we live inparent

Comments

I think there are at least 3 different meanings of acceleration-ism, and you are conflating some of them.

But the article is too, and once I read the article I started to as well.

Is there hard evidence of an intellectual connection between Zelazny, Land, and Leftist Accelerationism? This kinda feels like left-anarchism vs right-anarchism all over again. Wildly different ideologies that share very little, except a name. I would think the leftist variant predates the 60s, ue_ in response to you found elements of it in Marx.

Maybe this is a bad article.

Well, I realize now that there is a leftism->Land connection mentioned in the article. I was too harsh. But I still think there us conflation going on.
