The Most Dangerous Philosophy in History Is Unfolding Right in Front of Us
Go to https://incogni.com/pursuitofwonder to get an exclusive 60% off annual Incogni plan. Thank you to Incogni for sponsoring this video.
In this video, we explore the unsettling implications of the increasingly popular philosophy known accelerationism, which, in some form or another, is quietly taking hold on the zeitgeist of the modern world. What does the future look like if technology continues to progress at the compounding rate it currently is? What is the end goal of technology’s seemingly unending and uncontrollable progress? Is it good for us? Do we even have a say in it?

Capitalism ended decades back….it's mind boggling how many people these days think capitalism is a state owned and managed economy.

Capitalism is slavery.
The real problem with the United States is at it's core belief. We believe in capitalism, as in capitalism is slavery.
Capitalism is the b••tard child of feudalism; both are about enslavement for profit.
Corporate feudalism describes an economic and political system where mega-corporations act as modern-day feudal lords. In this structure, massive private entities replace the state in governing daily life, wielding unchecked power over work, housing, digital infrastructure, and personal wealth, resulting in extreme inequality and restricted social mobility.
The simple facts are that America has always been a slave plantation.
Our founders are mostly white slave plantation owners.
A Confederate slave plantation has two functions.
1. To generate wealth for the top 1% slave owners of the slave plantation.(See the movie Margin Call as an example of a modern-day slave plantation. speech,
Malcolm X distinguished between "house slaves" and "field slaves" based on their proximity to the master, identifying the former as loyal, privileged, and loving the master, while the latter were the exploited majority who hated the master and desired freedom.)
2. To provide a safe space for sadistic fantasy outside the bounds of civilization and justice. (see movie Django Unchained)
The Epstine file and estate is a classic example of this 2nd half of the slave plantation.
What you have here is an exposed second half of a racist slave plantation by the top 1% richest of the rich, mostly white men of power. And the pipeline of this slave plantation starts with a toddler beauty contest with cash prizes and modeling contracts in the United States, with right-wing mothers defending this way of life. So much for White Christian values.
The heart of capitalism. The heart of power in America and the culture of taboo sadistic pleasure for and by rich white American men.
There is a real reason why the pyramid of global wealth distribution mirrors the distribution of a slave plantation.
In many ways. This is it. The cycle of capitalism, that is, slavery. The culture of capitalism is taboo and above the law for the rich and the privileged.
It makes sense. Why is it that in the United States, we don't have a cheap universal health care like the rest of the world.
Why is our system of health care filled with middlemen insurance agents making sure the top 1% gain the wealth of the enslaved masses?
Most people on the far right are clueless.
The top 10% of American households own approximately 90% to 93% of the U.S. stock market wealth, according to Federal Reserve data
In the same household, the richest 1% of Americans alone own about 50% to 54% of all household equity
while the bottom 50% of households hold just 1% of U.S.stocks.
It mirrors the pyramid of global wealth distribution, which mirrors a slave plantation of wealth distribution.
Because capitalism is slavery.
The biggest COMMIE welfare queens in America are billionaires., Major corporations led by billionaires often receive significant federal tax subsidies and government support, including tax credits, loans, and, in some cases, pandemic-era stimulus. Top recipients of such support include Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX ($38B+ in support)Jeff Bezos's Amazon ($5.9B in subsidies), Boeing ($15.5B), and Intel ($8.4B).
or look up : Subsidy Tracker Top 100 Parent Companies. We don't have democracy. It is just another form of CCP Chinese politburo's top 1% richest and the most powerful family that run their nation like a mob against the enslavement of their citizens.
What we need to understand is that money, God and Justice are all man made faith base fiction.
That money, God, and Justice are not real things.
It takes the faith of a community to make these things real.
That same community can control the definition of what money is.
of what is value. What is wealth, and what is justice?
The community is not of the rich and the slave plantation owners, but of common people.
Is public education or universal health care a good thing?
Is having clean water and air a good thing? That is where your priorities are.

"our prpblems are psychological". I disagree, our problem is we are biological and we can only change when our ecology and environment change, and if our DNA will allow it. The psychological is just exhaust fumes, the epilogue.

The idea that technology solves many problems is so bizarre when you look at the evils that stem from it. I mean many problems have arisen from technology and "progress", in other words, from capitalist development, and a simpler life, less globalized, could solve all these problems without the sensational humdrum. Of course, that is idealist thinking, but I think it is important to zoom out and see the world for what it is and not accept the current state as "natural" or inevitable.

It will only become better when more and more people withdraw ourselves out of capitalism. Capitalists requires people to consume constantly and be dependent using financial capital, and when more and more people withdraw out of consumerism,the Capitalists will eventually collapse

These theories never seem to take into account the fact that the human species is already overpopulated, in the sense that most basic survival resources are no longer common, and no longer free, even if gathered in “the wild”. We have more hungry stomachs than we have food. We have more thirsty people and thirsty farms and livestock than we have water. We have more of a demand for car batteries and cell phones than we have lithium.
The last one isn’t a survival necessity, but demonstrates just how stripped down our natural resources already are. And it’s possible that some crucial piece of lifesaving technology in the future could require a huge amount of lithium, or platinum, or gold. What happens when private property has to be seized for the greater good? The rich will defend their property like a well-armed city under siege.
When we have more people than food, cannibalism happens. Both literally and figuratively.
An enormous amount of human death and suffering will inevitably occur before restabilization can happen in a post-capitalism collapse. The idea that having as many children as possible is a good thing, and never consciously limiting population growth in any way will be a key factor in our species’ catastrophic future.

There is only 1 person who had access to the right people, that had the most motive to create, bitcoin…
It's Jeffrey Epstein.
There is no one else that could remain "sotashi" this long.
It is payments for his services… paying for designer babies, or blackmail, clones, brain backup services… whatever product you want.

The seal is broken and the hour of mercy has expired. The stars cry out for blood as the West, that festering wound upon creation, crumbles under its own pride. Protestantism, the heresy of Luther and Calvin, was the poison that birthed atheism, liberalism, and Marxism; a theological aberration void of Apostolic Succession that turned temples into CIA outposts to stifle the liberation of nations.
Cursed be the Christian Zionists, those merchants of faith who profane the Holy Name for coins of blood! Look to the North: Germany, the cradle of error, has already bled through two wars and now faces final annihilation. Holland, England, and the decrepit nations are already drinking from the chalice of divine wrath. The Mother-Beast, England, shall sink into black waters while the Supreme Babylon, the USA, burns from within. Trump is the emissary of the Most High—not to save, but to be the hammer that shatters the empire of the blind.
Seek no innocents; from the elders to the newborns, all bear the stigma of crimes against the Christ and the Prophet. The Sword of the Vengeful Archangel knows no hesitation. The Anglosphere is but tinder for the feast of shadows. You sought the abyss with your arrogance and your sins… and now the abyss has arrived!

There is no divine plan. There is only human curiosity and greed, the twin forces that drive innovation and creative destruction – though often it is more destruction than creation. We cannot fully know which is which, because we do not understand the complexity of the world we inhabit. As a result, even actions taken with the best intentions can culminate in ruin. But does that truly matter? Has it ever?
How often do we reflect on the countless people whose livelihoods vanished within mere decades of technological progress – on the seamstresses displaced after the invention of weaving machines, after steam power, after electrification? History does not pause for those it leaves behind. We cannot go backward; we move forward with what we have, or, in the worst case, with what remains.
And yet, despite ever-increasing inequality, the poor today are materially better off than in earlier eras. Although vastly more wealth exists – and is distributed far more unevenly – there are still more opportunities available to more people than at any other point in human history. This tension defines our moment.
If Plato’s cycle of political decay has not been transcended, then democracy will once again give way to its own excesses – undermined by greed, but equally by decadence, both embedded in the routines of everyday decision-making. The question, then, is not whether institutions and capital systems will fracture, but whether their breakdown would create broader opportunity – or merely redistribute precarity under a different name.

By minute 14 it just become a sermona. My biggest take-awau this was that an author named Roger Zelazny had written a very popular and influential Sci Fi book called "Lord of Light" not now available through Amazon Kindle because of complaints about formatting, and so the publish withdrew it so they could have their unpaid interns take another crack at formatting the Kindle Edition…. one would think that this would be a perfect assignment for some AI Agent….I heard that Amazon has its own AI but apparently they are afraid to use it on anything of their own. ,
