Capital is pure exit
Accelerationism is the point where hyperstition (to shape the future) and retrochronic intelligence (to shape the past) meet.
All their dystopian movies, from Pink Floyd’s The Wall, to Ian McKellan’s adaptation of Richard III, to V for Vendetta, etc. warned them about the nonexistent threat of fascism; none warned them of the real dystopia their leaders were brewing up for them.

Chronothanatropy Capture diagrams a triadic vector architecture for temporal–entropic control — ambient, recursive, thanatropic — the hyper-materialist thermodynamic substrate of phenomenological governance. Anon dispatch from the thanatocratic kill-zone, link below. ☣️
Used to have some grudging respect for the "no-bullshit Marxists".
Non-dialectical materielism

Widespread AI use in universities intersecting with the complete collapse of meritocracy in university admissions and evaluations is the key vortex disintegrating higher education now.
Marc Andreessen: if you're the parents of a smart kid where I grew up [rural Wisconsin] and you think you're going to get them into a top university in this country, you're fooling yourself... What level of untapped talent exists in this country that a combination of DEI and…
