Modernity itself imposes these conditions. Compounding bureaucracy limits what we can do while simultaneously rusting the gears of the processes that help us do it. The speed and reach of data transfer exports a standardized information narrative instantly across all human populations, and undetectably narrows our worldview of the possible. Decentralized monetary and power incentives make this a positive feedback loop that tightens around our minds like a psychological boa constrictor.

2021 is the comeback year. Let's drown out shitty Nietzsche threads and /pol/ zoomers with Landposting and schizo shit.

I find myself enamored with the Kabbala and Gnostic tradition (inb4 larp, I'm not pretending to be some enlightened Pneumatic or whatever). I feel fairly certain that we are well underway with whatever you want to call the end times. Kali-Yuga, technocapital, etc, they're functionally the same in content and ease of mapping onto modernity. Even though Land and Nietzsche's solutions seem kinda bleak, and generally underdeveloped, I buy into them, more or less. It's cool that you feel transcended by all of this. My perspective is that I'm basically the survivor of a shipwreck, I lived through it, but it was not particularly pleasant.

Ok Capitalism is a self propelled AI but is there any point to accelerationist philiosophy?

What does it mean to "be an accelerationist"
Is it a even a philiosophy or is it just an analysis?

Banjo Kazooie.

where to start? I only know by name some.
Paulo Freire,Neil Postman,Paul Goodman.
Dewey everyone says to start with, anyone can do a small summary or link to such a thing?

Specifically I am interested in social criticism.
Also what do you think about modern education? In what ways have we improved since, say, ww2?

in the current year the left happens to be culturally aligned with global capital, because the open border policies are liked by both and the destruction of traditional structures in general aligns with the goals of both. there's not much in common beyond that.

it's also convenient for global capital to transform economic battles into cultural battles, much easier to handle people that want less titties on videogames than people who want to reorganize the economy

For me it'd be Jupiter, Mars, Hermes.

Is the Alt Right just an expression of resentment towards nihilism and an attempt to impose meaning and structure onto their lives by inserting themselves into a narrative they previously had no relation or interest in?
