Effective Accelerationism: Nick Land for Tech Bros
Adam and Craig are joined by Mattie Colquhoun (@xenogothic) to discuss the nature of accelerationism and its latest attempt at a fashionable revival: so called "effective accelerationism" or e/acc. For this we read the "Techno-optimist Manifesto" Marc Andreessen's argument for the total unleashing of technology and capital to maximize wealth creation for the species. We trace the influences of the text from Land to Nietzsche and illustrate how the text fails to understand its own influences, and in doing so reveals itself as the latest ideological vapor emanating from a neoliberalism in crisis.Support the showSupport the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastZer0 Books and Repeater Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterMerch: http://www.crit-drip.comOrder 'Anti-Oculus: A Philosophy of Escape': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/anti-oculus-a-philosophy-of-escape/Order 'The Philosopher's Tarot': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/169wvvhiHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam’s blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comRevolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.comSplit Infinities (Craig’s Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
