Natasha and Deana have on two big brain dudes, Reggie James and Ruby Justice Thelot, to give a 101 overview of the e/acc movement. In this interview they cover:  1. Exploring Effective Accelerationism (e/acc) Origins: Effective Accelerationism is a modern philosophy stemming from accelerationism. They discuss the origins of accelerationism at the University of Warwick by key figures like Nick Land, Sadie Plant, Mark Fisher, and others, focusing on their study of technology's impact on the world and the resulting cultural analysis. 2. Capitalism and Technological Impact: A significant part of the discussion revolves around the idea that capitalism, particularly techno-capitalism, is evolving faster than human comprehension. This concept is rooted in Karl Marx's theories and explores how accelerationism proposes hastening capitalism to its paradoxical end. 3. Silicon Valley's Adoption of e/acc: They examine how Silicon Valley has transformed and adopted e/acc, shifting it from an academic concept to a more commodified and popular idea. Marc Andreessen's 'The Techno-Optimist Manifesto’ is also discussed.  4. e/acc’s Political and Societal Implications: They explore the broader implications of e/acc in politics and society, how technology and e/acc principles intersect with various political ideologies and their potential impact on future governance and societal norms. 5. Critiques and Ethical Considerations in e/acc: The conversation also addresses criticisms of e/acc, including concerns about its ethical implications and the distribution of technological benefits. It challenges listeners to think critically about their vision of a utopian future shaped by technology and accelerationism.
