CORE DEFINITION

Believes that technological progress (especially AI) is inherently good and an inevitable part of the universe's thermodynamic evolution. For the future of humanity, we should not slow down or regulate, but rather push technological development as fast as possible, accelerating the fusion of capitalism and technology.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Radical optimism. It is a counter to 'doomism' and 'decelerationism'. In the face of technological risks, e/acc believes the only way out is to 'charge forward', using stronger technology to solve the problems of old technology.

Anchor fast decisions

Effective Accelerationism (e/acc) is a technological ideology: it advocates accelerating technological development (especially AI and energy) as much as possible to unlock material abundance as quickly as possible, and believes that the overall benefits of technological acceleration outweigh the risks. The mechanism is to trade speed for abundance.
