I'm not a kantian, nor a deleuzefag. That doesn't mean I don't understand them.
Way to turn the discussion into reddit-tier faggotry again.

Ask me how I anticipated this would be your response.

Perhaps you have noticed that there are no longer any cyberneticians, and we are over 100 years past its peak. This itself suggests another relation to technology than what you would insist is merely economic and rational extraction (AND OF COURSE MAYBE SO MUCH MORE, ETERNAL RETURN TO THE NTH DEGREE!!!!).
Entire teams are dedicated to speculative rationalism, proletarian technicians develop a blurry image that they call the origin of the universe and a single woman gets the credit. Our relation to technology has realised the impossible form of societ realism, suggesting something completely other than capital.

Because it relies on the theoretical mechanisms of modern economy for its own theories. What Capital does in terms of valorisation accelerationism does in terms of words, an abstraction of language into capital theories. It's entirely meta with no basis in reality.
Similar methods could be used for something like cybernetics, which accelerationists also use a bit, but there really isn't any anti-cybernetic science. At least not a well-known form.
Economic determinism, especially the theory of Capital, acts as an alleviating mechanism, like a confessional. Believers want to be relieved of any responsibility for blame done, they want to be morally exempt from collective responsibility. The market is essentially the natural space of any society, it is the arena of necessity. Any opposition to it could only ever be partial, there is no real revolutionary potential in it because such movements would appear unnatural (this is a major reason why communists are maligned more than fascists). One can even see this written into the original liberal schemes, economic conflict allows for a vitality of opposition which effectively gives weight to the society, accelerates it - one might even say replacing the cults and religions of old societies. Accelerationists can be seen within this light as attempting to complete the liberal form of this subterfuge (and this would explain their confusing mix of left/right ideas).

We live in a society of philistines, based on equality and rising up of the lowest people. Economic determinism is a great method to organise around people's base desires, and it is also the lowest tier of organisation. Belief in it essentially acts in a similar way to Baudrillard's hyperreality, as if reality were merely a consequence of hyperreality, rather than hyperreality being a runaway consequence of reality and the incompetent responses of uncultured people responding to what are complex problems requiring hierarchy (if not in organisational structure, then at least in the realm of ideas). Capital, both as economy and oppositional catalyst, is like an invisible monolith of false consciousness - a release valve of the modern project.

If accelerationists are so fast, why are they stuck in the 18th century?

Basically, yes.
Science doesn't believe that the earth is flat, but its believers create such a belief through feedback loop.

(Deleted by mods. It's lit, don't bother deleting it because I'll just post it every day.)

Science is the extricate of language. And if "language is the house of the Truth of Being," then the house is also that clearing which has already divided us from nature—and therefore Being.

Only mythic formulations of words can think such things. Nature is the fulcrum of our difference, and science attempts to realise this fulcrum through an extrication of nature into its materiality at every point. Hence its total misunderstanding, and destructive essence, to the point that it becomes an ouroboros.

All of the great technologies of our time even have this form enmeshed within their function, suggesting the extent to which science remains within the dominion of sacrifice to an unknown. And yet its rites are entirely sentient within the desecration of their ends: being doomed.

Science/capital is the loss of sentience, the funeral procession of language. Hence why it's art is post-ironic shit.
