What is progress if not positive qualitative change
Progress is bullshit. What most people mean by progress is an infinite material amelioration of the human condition. It's all quantity. No thought or care is given to categories of well-being and spiritual satisfaction that are actually undermined by material progress, and which completely negate the material amerloriation
NOT SEMANTIC
PROGRESS IMPLIES CHANGE IN APPROACH
I read about a 30 year old investment banker woman who got up one day, rode the elevator to the top of he building, and jumped off.
QUALITATIVE = NO CHANGE IN APPROACH AS THIS IS TIMELESS; INSTEAD< GET BETTER AT IT
she had experienced real progress.
ACCELERATIONISM
happens all the time.
9.8 M/S^2
suicide by progress
PEOPLE ARE MISERABLE
UNDER MODERNITY
PROGRESS IS BULLSHIT
agreed
WE NEED BETTER, NOT DIFFERENT
I used to be a believer, believe me. I was an INFP lol
@fallot ^^^ THAT IS THE DISTINCTION IN SHORTHAND
INFP = I NEED FISTING PRIVILEGES
?
BUT(T) SERIOUSLY, I DISLIKE PROGRESS AS A NOTION
I'm an INTP now anyway.
Moi aussi
and again, I was a believer. I was miserable.
MOST PEOPLE ARE
BUT CANNOT ARTICULATE IT
I've become more stable and "happy" the less I believe in progress.
Even my wife is calming down some and she's a mess due to a hyper liberal upbringing
she even voted for Trump
not that Trump will save us
@diversity_is_racism if I just say what you call accelerationism is progress is that the differences fixed
ESCAPING LIBERALISM = MENTAL CLARITY PLUS STABILITY
The most progressive people I know in Minneapolis are the craziest and fucked up
After all to lefties
@fallot NOTION OF "PROGRESS" HOWEVER IS ITSELF FLAWED
Their progress IS accelerarion
aha
AND CONDEMNS YOU TO METROSEXUALITY
Towards their values and ends
