Drafting for Accelerationism
[edit]Common concepts
[edit]Accelerationism has many variants which often contradict each other. Armen Avanessian stated "Any accelerationist thought is based on the assessment that contradictions (of capitalism) must be countered by their own aggravation", while Robin Mackay considered it to be a misconception and stated that no accelerationist authors have advocated such a thing. However, there are several ideas shared among different strains of accelerationism.
Prometheanism
[edit]Prometheanism is a philosophy that is closely adjacent to accelerationism which takes after the Greek figure of Prometheus. Harrison Fluss and Landon Frim associate it with using innovation and technology to surpass the limits of nature, characterizing it as misanthropic in stating "for the Promethean, flesh-and-blood 'humanity' is an arbitrary limit on the unlimited powers of technology and invention." Yuk Hui characterizes it as "decoupling the social critique of capitalism from denigrating technology and asserting the power of technology to free us from constraints and contradictions or from modernity."
(Chistyakv quoting Toscano, Avenessian, Srnicek/Williams, other source on Prometheus/Prometheanism)
(quoting Srnicek/Williams via Chistyakov in L/Acc part, claim of "promethean politics of mastery...")
Hyperstition
[edit]Hyperstition is a term coined by Land, characterized by Harrison Fluss and Landon Frim as the view "that our chosen beliefs about the future (however fanciful) can retroactively form and shape our present realities". Viewpoint Magazine used Roko's Basilisk as an example, stating "Roko’s Basilisk isn't just a self-fulfilling prophecy. Rather than influencing events toward a particular result, the result is generated by its own prediction"
Variants
[edit]Right accelerationism
[edit]Right accelerationism is espoused by Nick Land.
Left Accelerationism
[edit]Other
[edit]Harrison Fluss and Landon Frim characterize accelerationism as adhering to nominalism and voluntarism.
Denis Chistyakov stated that "one can often find theorizing about deregulation of business and radical reduction of government"
