Findanewtermism seems to be what is going on. Addadistinctionorsmallclauseandseeifthatwillworktomakeyoualittlemorefamouseism

I've seen lots of it. No no, it isn't that! My version has a pink scarf!

Accelerationism is a term used to describe a general mindset of progress and is heavily laden with scientism which is an overinflated faith in the scientific method as the only way to solve all of the worlds problems.

Well, that's one of the most problematic aspects of it anyway, it is still yet to be fully defined.

I'd like some talk on the follies of scientism wherever you might find that appropriate.

Open up a new thread in general discussion.

Could you? I don't have a first article on the matter. I can make one called The Follies of Scientistic Egotism but don't have much more to say on it since I wanted your writing on the matter.

I will have to revisit the subject, will try for later this week. It's worth opening up a thread for.

I can open the thread and when you are ready you can put your work and ideas into it once you have refreshed a bit on the topic. It is really important because everyone has gone science crazy and it is damaging philosophy and inquiry as well. Its been given as a baseball bat in the hands of the mentally under developed.

Accelerationism seems to be a very new and not that well defined theory. I have resevations, but am still interested. At the moment I think I am most intersted in the way the ideas have translated into politics and films etc.

How would you define it? It sounds like it refers to policies meant to encourage anything which maximizes certain elements towards extremes to at the very least see what happens and at the very most to manifest particular theoretical results and ends.

I think it is based in it's worst manifestation on the disillusionment of the individual as the final vestige of society. That is there will not be an I and you in the same way. The self will be anhilated by Capitalism and unable to will anymore, consumed by incorporated Capitalistic desires. This may lead to transhumanism , where we transcend physically by becoming part man part machine and become the ultimate vechile for science.
