Amazing video
Nick Land came up with "Techno-Capital", while "Techno-capital machine" is, I think, only what Beff says. In the former case it's a more theory laden notion, something noumenal, while Beff refers to the process that does and will do its thing. Relatedly, as for the Connor debate, I saw Connor claiming that Land says Capital becomes sentient, but that attribution seems dubious to me. Not that it matters regarding the point he's making. And I know Wikipedia says the term Accelerationism was coined in 2010 - however in a non-academic context I think the word goes back to a 70's sci-fi novel. Lastly, the CCRU founder's name is Sadie, not Sandy. So you end the video somewhat critical, but not in the way I've heard the critics of the "movements" speak. In the end, where do you fall on the spectrum? The volume is rather low, I'd 2x the audio bar. Nice vid, keep it up.
Comment for engagement. Good work dude, keep it up!
The only way out...is through. The status quo sucks. Lets accelerate into the future of abundance
Glory to the Holy Scriptures of François Roddier, the Thermodynamics of Evolution and overall Jean Marc Jancovici's role of energy in modern society.
Jancovici is not very active in English though.
Both are decels though, despite having understood everything.
