Topic: Effective Accelerationism

1 chapters across the catalog

Joe Allen discusses the "effective accelerationist" movement (e/acc), which he describes as a non-politically correct, libertarian-leaning strain of transhumanism. He references Peter Thiel's view that AI is inherently communist while Bitcoin is libertarian, noting the irony of Thiel's Palantir being a major surveillance tool. Allen concludes that transhumanism is a dangerous "techno-religion" that transcends traditional left-right political boundaries.
