021 - Accelerate

from General Intellect Unit · host General Intellect Unit

In which we talk about Accelerationism, it's bizarre history, and it's recent Left-wing manifestations. We read from three articles: "Accelerationism: how a fringe philosophy predicted the future we live in" by Andy Beckett, "Terminator vs. Avatar: Notes on Accelerationism" by Mark Fisher, and "#Accelerate, Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics" by Alex Williams and Nick Srnicek. (PS: We will never miss an opportunity to dunk on Nick Land.) If you like the show, consider supporting us on Patreon.
