We're approaching a pivotal debate, perhaps the most critical one yet:

Accelerationists advocating for advancements like transhumanism, brain implants, AGI, and space exploration, will clash with Decelerationists, reminiscent of Ted Kaczynski's philosophy, opposing modern tech. The decelerationist movement is poised to gain more traction, especially given the rapid pace of development.

The trajectory we're on indicates that this debate is imminent and will wield considerable influence in shaping our future.

Great discussion! I'll just add a few #anarchy memes and quotes here:

In England, police can place a marker on a central database, suspecting you of benefiting from crime with ZERO evidence.

This "reasonable suspicion" by a police officer can lead to being debanked for life, without the need for a judge, magistrate, or independent review and approval. 🤷‍♂️
