Effective Accelerationism: Nick Land for Tech Bros

Adam and Craig are joined by Mattie Colquhoun (@xenogothic) to
discuss the nature of accelerationism and its latest attempt at a
fashionable revival: so called "effective accelerationism" or
e/acc. For this we read the "Techno-optimist Manifesto" Marc
Andreessen's argument for  the total unleashing of
technology and capital to maximize wealth creation for the
species. We trace the influences of the text from Land to
Nietzsche and illustrate how the text fails to understand its own
influences, and in doing so reveals itself as the latest
ideological vapor emanating from a neoliberalism in crisis.
