>If, however, I understand racism as a system into which I was socialized, I can receive feedback on my problematic racial patterns as a helpful way to support my learning and growth. One of the greatest social fears for a white person is being told that something that we have said or done is racially problematic. Yet when someone lets us know that we have just done such a thing, rather than respond with gratitude and relief (after all, now that we are informed, we won’t do it again), we often respond with anger and denial.

>there is *a metaphysics of scarcity amidst superabundance.*

i should probably clarify this one, b/c relates to this guy, who basically solved a riddle in this regard: the point of all of that superabundance can lead, on the one hand, to Bataillean aristocratic squandering and the production of the sacred as (apocalyptic) loss, *or* conversely it can be uploaded as intel into algorithms.

our problem today is mainly a philosophical illiteracy as pertains to these things. and my feel is, paradoxical as it might all seem, if there was something like a *consistent narrative* about things, then the need for a proscriptive metaphysics (or what we have now, which is a world of critique that actually is proscriptive metaphysics that has lost sight of its object) would not be necessary.

the superfluity of things is what allows for machine intelligenesis: machines learn and they repeat. *people do not.* and our problem today is, basically, the infinite lure of Fuck You Money. which skews with our brains. we think we do not have enough, while we already have too much. Bataille was right about the sun: the sun comes for free, nobody owns it, and much else follows from this, like the psychology of the aristocrat at Holy Squandering Aesthetic Visionary that proceeds. not a completely crazy thesis, and pairs well with Nietzsche.

the problem is Moar. time really means money. the world looks different to the rich and the poor. a more serious problem: the rich can just rub it in people's faces, although sometimes they don't. the poor, conversely, can invoke re-worked semantic bludgeons borrowed from Marxist theory that do nothing more (and nothing less) than drop the Guilthammer wherever they want to, and for reasons ultimately reciprocal and very, very foolish.

but there is no Outside of guilt. that's a project for Cosmotech, however, and not /acc.

>Capitalism is self-replicating and will inevitably eclipse carbon based lifeforms

This makes me feel bad. I want to feel good. Have any authors written anything in response to Accelerationism which isn't just eco-terrorism?

he's already here

and he has already met the same fate

y'all need to catch up
