* Vitalik Buterin on why we need d/acc, i.e. Decentralized Accelerationism
“My own feelings about techno-optimism are warm, but nuanced. I believe in a future that is vastly brighter than the present thanks to *radically transformative technology,..t and I believe in humans and humanity. I reject the mentality that the best we should try to do is to keep the world roughly the same as today but with less greed and more public healthcare. However, I think that **not just magnitude but also direction matters...t ***There are certain types of technology that much more reliably make the world better than other types of technology...t .There are certain types of technlogy that could, if developed, mitigate the negative impacts of other types of technology. The world over-indexes on some directions of tech development, and under-indexes on others. ****We need active human intention to choose the directions that we want, as the formula of “maximize profit” will not arrive at them automatically.“ ..t
*to be rad transform.. needs to be rad diff to get at healing (roots of).. ie: nonjudgmental expo labeling
**yeah.. we keep spinning our accelerated/magnitudinous wheels toward cancerous distractions
***need tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it
****how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
ie: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
