The only valid accelerationism is ultimate accelarationism. Unconditional accelarationism. Faustian accelerationism in pursuit of higher ideals such as actually colonizing space and other such grand visions. Anything else is just cope, a mask, a fraud… e/acc is the worst of them all… few of them actually care about manifesting the machine god; they just want to ‘earn to give’
@LaughingCav1 We still have the rentiers i.e. those who earn their income through capital appreciation and the returns on assets owned. This is everything from your landlord through to the L’Oréal heiress and the dozens of personal staff that serve her. They drive consumer spending.
Over half of all consumer spending is already done by the top 10% of earners. UBI will be rolled out to replace the massive Byzantine welfare bureaucracy and prop up real estate and the service economy. Core economic drivers such as tech and manufacturing will be increasingly automated and see exponential growth.
@OwenBrakes I’d be rattled if it weren’t for the fact that the Snowden leaks already revealed a treasure trove of similar attacks/tools like PRISM or XKEYSCORE
I too thought work was a scam until I leveled up and realized that I could now grow and learn and gain tangible benefits from work that go beyond money. That’s when it became a fairer trade. The money is always good and I’ll always want more, but doing what I love is more important. YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT.
