- consumer451 2y agoBroadly speaking, there are two possibilities. These "normally thoughtful and smart people" are either correct, or they are not. Have you considered that the prior is a real possibility? I mean, the accelerationist view requires destroying that which now exists. This is not something being invented out of nowhere. I guess my real question is: what happens if "mean poopheads who want to ruin everything" is what is actually happening? How would one have a thoughtful discussion about that? Is that even possible? Let's take a 30,000 foot view on this. Swap, or avoid, in-out group positioning for this thought experiment.

Is that even possible? Is absolutely is. Also a pretty minimal skill requirement for me to take anyone seriously.
