Respecting Laws of Physics
Understanding and respecting the laws of physics can guide us towards a better future.
These laws exist whether we like it or not and acknowledging them can help navigate life effectively.
Effective Accelerationism
The e/acc movement assumes that every agent organism and metaorganism will act in its own interests.
Maintaining an adversarial equilibrium or competition is crucial to keep each other in check at all scales.
However, power acquisition can potentially lead to corruption.
