The perfect career for an accelerationist.

• jacquesm 3y ago
  We haven't even properly absorbed the impact of the last two tech revolutions, and the interval between them is shortening. I wasn't/still am not much of a believer in the acceleration scheme but the last two decades and a somewhat serious review of the last 200 years has me wondering if there isn't more to it than it seems.

    It makes most sense to me if you think of change as a result of people doing things and sharing information and the size of the population. About 7% of the people who ever lived are are alive today. https://info.nicic.gov/ces/global/population-demographics/how-many-people-have-ever-lived-earth https://info.nicic.gov/ces/global/population-demographics/ho...

    What do you define as the "last two tech revolutions"? I don't disagree with you, but I'm curious how far back you're thinking.
