What is Accelerationism summarised?

720 views

After reading up on what it is, I can somewhat grasp that instead of finding compromise and abiding protocols in society and it’s systems that we push forward the problems to destabilise the structure of it until it eventually it collapses allowing those to rebuild from scratch.

Could anyone share their thoughts on what it means to them?

P.S Harassment architecture was an interesting read albeit seems like it was written by a basement dwelling edgelord

Arguably, the idea is that there exist problems in a system that can’t be solved by any configuration of that system- so you have to demolish it to make a new one that works better, and you may as well get that over with as soon as possible- not doing so just prolongs the bad system.

The counterargument is that the costs of demolishing the system are *high*. For instance, if you realize that you’re on a ship that was poorly designed, the cost of trying to sink the ship and rebuild it is probably higher than just doing what patches you can while keeping it afloat.
