One of the three major trends identified by Albert Meige and Jacques Schmitt in\u00a0Innovation Intelligence<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is the global acceleration of the volume of accumulated knowledge.<\/p>\n This knowledge is not purely theoretical knowledge, without effect on the world: on the contrary, it is the key factor in its technological transformation.<\/p>\n We define the technological Singularity as a vertical performance graph for key technological dimensions including intelligence and life expectancy.<\/p>\n There are three ways to be accelerationist, that is to say to favorably consider the possibility that the current technological transformation goes through a Singularity in the short or long term:<\/p>\n Ideological accelerationism makes the Singularity a political question and a form of progressivism: the human subject must here choose collectively the form of life made possible by the technological Singularity.<\/p>\n An ideology can be defined as a doctrine intended to mobilize an alliance of partisans in order to obtain results in the context of a political struggle. An ideology typically has a strong ability to interpret disagreement with its content as a proof of its truth: those who disagree are then categorized as enemies.<\/p>\n The subject of progressive political action is positioned on a spectrum comprising a left and a right. By adopting an ideology, this subject also adopts a conception of the arc of history. He turns away from forms condemned by this arc, and embraces the forms it legitimizes.<\/p>\n In the case of acceleration, these forms are typically utopian. A utopia peculiar to a given ideology is typically the dystopia of a rival ideology.<\/p>\n The ideological accelerationism of the left is conceived as part of the historical continuity of a project of egalitarian emancipation of humanity. In particular, it may be based on the idea that a transformation of the productive infrastructure always leads to a transformation of the socio-political infrastructure. Such an approach invites us to reread the history of humanity by explaining the stages and forms of\u00a0domination\u00a0with\u00a0techno-economic factors.<\/p>\n Beyond such an explanation, leftist accelerationism establishes its ideological radicalism in a tireless and prolific search for hidden forms of oppression, and new, corresponding forms of solidarity against oppression.<\/p>\n The ideological accelerationism of the right sees in the capitalist techno-commercial process an unsurpassable emergent order. It dreams of new forms of sovereignty exempted from social transfers by the sea, by the protections new cities could offer, even by space.<\/p>\n Somewhere in the middle of this ideological spectrum, the anarchic figure of the sovereign individual stands out.<\/p>\n 1\/ The logic of violence determines the structure of society.<\/p>\n ("The Sovereign Individual" thesis)<\/p>\n — Naval (@naval) July 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
