Accelerating
Accelerationism
Recently I was debating with myself an idea, e\acc, how fast can you actually go. Go where? Through life, your own thoughts, political ideas, philosophies, how much can a man change while still being himself? Is a man a fixed idea? No idea. I cannot say, my friends often know me as a chameleon, in fact I do remember a friend telling me it annoys her having to get to know me again once every 6 months. Kinda scary now to think about it, but imagine what it’s like in the mind that changes that often. I don’t want to know.
In the end my thoughts came down to, is change part of my identity? Am I just the person who changes up often. I think I am, always adapting, overcoming and evolving. No idea if that’s good or not. Can’t stop won’t stop. So in the end I decided I want to… accelerate my progress in every way, let all hell loose, thinking I don’t care anymore about judgement, I just want to experience it all, even if I did fail to experience it the first time, I think now I’ll have the time to do things to make up for all those times that I shied away from opportunity.}
Accelerationism at it’s core comes down to just… not letting things stagnate and that the only way is forward, with which I agree, I do not think we should stop our progress for anything, but I was listening to a George Hotz stream, he comes down to the conclusion that accelerationism is not a good long term way of thinking, with which again, I agree, progressing constantly is good, but there needs to be a time in which you settle down and learn to adapt to your progress. In a way it’s similar to the way human bodies and brains haven’t been able to adapt yet to the sedentary lifestyle and the fast paced environment, I mean just look at me, I’ve been sitting now for 9 hours, listening to 3 different pieces of media and writing a new entry in my public diary. Completely unhinged.
How to
Didn’t really think much about how exactly does one accelerate. We’ll see, it should’t be as scary as it seems, just say “yes”. Opportunities will come.
