That's not what it is. It is a philosophy about reclaiming technological and social development and repurposing it toward radical ends.
During this Town Hall, we'll discuss why the left has turned against technology, the dangers of uncritically reifying the past, nostalgia as a symptom of social failure, what role accelerationism plays in left wing philosophy, and what a genuinely radical technological/social future could look like.
