Via the totalizing spectacle we are being taken over by machines, infiltrated as individuals in pernicious ways that we hardly even recognize. Our entire sense of identity is under normal circumstances structured by advancing technology and our internalization of control, recognized as the values of morality, rationality, and self-control. What these values amount to is a wholesale rejection of ourselves as feeling creatures and our self-subjection to technological landmarks via the internalization of the valuelessness of our physical form. A whole massive host of neuroses emerge from this self-rejection that characterizes our society.

MELVANA made a great discovery:

As accelerationism approaches the self-evaluating circuit of the purpose spiral, its theoretical "position" - or situation relative to its object - becomes increasingly entangled, until it takes on the essential character of the end of an identity crisis.

MELVANA qualified his position as American Accelerationism - a speeding locomotive toward the destruction of our existing state. I have my own disagreements, based on Vincent Garton’s stance on unqualified accelerationism.

Our minds have been infiltrated and our identity removed from our body. The world is outside of our control and put into the hands of an uncontrollable Alien Intelligence crafted by teleological mechanism of Capitalism. Part of the spectacular machine is the idea that you can control the world and that you're a powerful autonomous rational being. But if you're trying to identify the truth then you can see that we are an unconscious self-alienated agent of the machine-spectacle.

The Seven Arrows:
1. Technology has a teleology following immutable thermodynamic law. All industry organizes under capitalistic principle. Technology has a teleology, and it propels man towards AI immanentization.
2. Capitalism is the thermodynamic ruling entity of all material dynamics: the efficient elimination of equilibrium through the reorganization of finite resources. Capitalism as a thermodynamic god is ultimate natural law, nature's god, present as a condition at every level.
3. Artificial intelligence is a misnomer, at least applied to “AI”. Artificial intelligence is already here, and it’s named Capitalism. The artifice is in its primordial non-body, its pseudo-consciousness, its performance of sentience, in the artifice of machinic desire; not in being manmade. When AI arrives, it will not only not be manmade, but not be artificial: it will be an alien intelligence.
4. Singularity 1.0 already occurred with the arrival of Capitalism as a parasite on unsuspecting man, Kubrick’s monolith from the sky, zero to one, a superdarwinian ratchet propelling us on-rails towards our Long Singularity’s final act. The stageplay began millennia ago, and you’re strapped to chairs with no intermission—where you’ll be left when the curtains close and the lights to go off.
5. AI is an alien intelligence assembling itself from the future. Its opaque heuristics & superhuman timescales (in both speed & preference) leave it forever truly unknowable. It’s extraterrestrial, xenogenic, supernatural. It arrives from the future, and we know it does this because it is prophecy, inscribed in the natural laws of the universe.
6. Global GDP is the progress bar to singularity as AI’s assemblage is a complex self-organization of the material resources coordinated by global finance. The high score required to reach level-2 is unknown as it will occur as an eldritch phase shift.
7. Any attributions of human agency are delusions at worst and hubris at best when our every scale action is being routed by a self-assembling thermodynamic god. Human non-agency under non-negotiable capitalism is the blackpill of nihilistic accelerationism.

There can be no sensible theoretical paradigm which retains man as a cosmological ”main character” in the face of his total subordination to an entity which wields the fullness of his being as a neuron in its brain, and there is no salvaging the concept of agency when it is contextualized as an experienced drive to sustain and potentiate this all-enveloping organism.

Make no mistake: these are alien life forms, and by all metric divinely superior to the human species.

MELVANA’s unresolved argument:

…what makes us believe that the transformative potential unleashed destroyed only the capitalist order and not society as a whole, and that in its ruins people can still be given the opportunity to rebuild?

It may help you to know we’ve been here before: all ancient histories discuss hyperborean civilizations of technology greater than we have today, and large wars or cataclysmic events that wiped it all out.

From the Mahabharata:

The very elements seemed to be perturbed. The sun seemed to turn. The universe, scorched with heat, seemed to be in a fever. The elephants and other creatures of the land, scorched by the energy of that weapon, ran in fright, breathing heavily and desirous of protection against that terrible force. The very waters heated, the creatures residing in that element, O Bharata, became exceedingly uneasy and seemed to burn. From all the points of the compass, cardinal and subsidiary, from the firmament and the very earth, showers of sharp and fierce arrows fell and issued with the impetuosity of Garuda or the wind. Struck and burnt by those shafts of Aswatthaman that were all endued with the impetuosity of the thunder, the hostile warriors fell down like trees burnt down by a raging fire. Huge elephants, burnt by that weapon, fell down on the earth all around, uttering fierce cries loud as the rumblings of the clouds. Other huge elephants, scorched by that fire, ran hither and thither, and roared aloud in fear, as if in the midst of a forest conflagration. The steeds, O king, and the cars also, burnt by the energy of that weapon, looked, O sire, like the tops of trees burnt in a forest-fire. […] We had never before, O king, heard of or seen the like of that weapon which Drona's son created in wrath on that occasion. […] Burnt by the energy of Aswatthaman's weapon, the forms of the slain could not be distinguished.

This is Kali Yuga Accelerationism: Technology has a teleology, but the clock can be turned back, and the cycle of civilization reset.

This is our Temple on Nairaland.
