Listening to this made me think;

Is at the heart of #effective #accelerationism really, a deep rooted mistrust of the human being?

Have the silicon valley masters in their ivory towers become so cynical of us plebes, that they’ve fundamentally lost trust in the collective intelligence of us as a species?

They seem to think so, because how I read their manifesto is that we’d be safer as subjects to a new machine god instead? 🤔
