Major (potentially pseudointellectual) industry leaders referencing Nick Land:
We believe the techno-capital machine of markets and innovation never ends, but instead spirals continuously upward.
[...]
We believe in accelerationism – the conscious and deliberate propulsion of technological development – to ensure the fulfillment of the Law of Accelerating Returns. To ensure the techno-capital upward spiral continues forever.
Why does he feel the need to do anything to ensure it continues forever when he claims to believe the upward spiral never ends in the first place?
Here I call for a similar project, but without this facile sense of fatalistic acceleration, and with an emphasis on public goods.
Recuperate the Vanguard: Free Market Collectivism via Self-Regulation in Emerging Technology Sectors
If the spectre of history has anything left to teach the western world, are we willing to learn? Economic liberalism has become the incumbent world order over the twentieth century,app.t2.world
I don't think that's true? Stalinsim was mostly characterised by the waste of the gulag system and systemic distortion of economic results which is the whole edifice fell over in the late 80s.you need to deflate your ego first, by realising that many have tried, unsuccessfully. The thing about Stalinists, and why Gus is so horrified by them, is because they are excellent managers of capitalism. Quite successful in that sense.

Ego deflation, definitely. But one thing which is good about this, is that there is already a vanguard industry of sorts working on exactly this, it just seems more spontaneous than world-historically self-aware. Peer-to-peer shared virtual machines, which can run smart contracts (which are like algorithmic building blocks for digital organizations), all very "capture-resistant" meaning that even leading state actors would have a difficult time shutting this stuff down.you need to deflate your ego first, by realising that many have tried, unsuccessfully.

you could ask land the same question - although what he believes the outcome will be is quite at odds (hilariously so) with andreesen and coWe believe the techno-capital machine of markets and innovation never ends, but instead spirals continuously upward.

aka the development of the realm of pure immanence - the "plane of consistency"Bifo on Marinetti;
"One hundred years after the publication of the Futurist Manifesto, speed has been transferred from the realm of external machines to the information domain. Speed itself has been internalised. In the twentieth century, the machine of speed accomplished the colonisation of global space; this was followed by the colonisation of the domain of time, of the mind and perception; and so the future collapsed. The collapse of the future is rooted in the acceleration of psychic and cognitive rhythm."

Is there some context in which this makes more sense than "a cylinder of pure Thursday"?aka the development of the realm of pure immanence - the "plane of consistency"
