@Bunyip which article?

https://jacobitemag.com/2017/05/25/a-quick-and-dirty-introduction-to-accelerationism/

@Bunyipok I read it.

Not sure what to really say

So Nick land is on the side of the singularity ?

accelerationism is anti-god

Oh thank

god wants you to suffer slowly

@Skellington yes

the emancipation of capital

Such an event can't be understated, even if it is hypothetical

@Skellington i can give you a 3 hour podcast of land trying to lay his later thinking out if that interests you

Sure

@Bunyip but like. Why would you want to accelerate the extinction of humanity as we know it

<:GWaobloChildPepeShrug:407618817569718272>

you tell me

Gives me conniptions

you could also read him as a prophet of the singularity rather then just a activist for its arrival

and Land does have his prophetic moments

which singularity the technological singularity or the asteroid hitting earth singularity

Techno

which technological singularity the "humans turn into grey goo" technological singularity, or the "humans encode their minds into computers and merge with AI" technological singularity

or the cool one where humans encode themselves onto photons and live inside the electromagnetic field

that my favorite

all of the above

we won't know the structure of the singularity until it hits and at that point it is too late

im redy

the prophecy land makes is that nothing human makes it out

what about the human mind

as we know it? no, gone

the human experience? nope gone as well

what if the singularity already happened and it was the big bang

and we are post-singularity right now

🤔

then it would be a repeating cycle

retro-causal

the singularity, if possible (because physics and real world limitations), would be such a shattering event for humanity. Humanity wouldn't even factor into it.
