I was enthralled by it all. The impact of someone saying clearly and articulately what you just couldn’t conceive of seconds before… it changes everything, if not in the healthiest of ways. I already felt the first symptoms: my beliefs melting down into a slimy mold of abomination, my brain reconfigured into a filthy vector of affliction, my body suspended in unlife. Land and Plant’s offices in the department also became CCRU hubs. “They were generous with their time,” said Grant, “And he had good drugs – skunk [cannabis]. Although it could be grim going in there, once he started living in his office. There would be a tower of Pot Noodles and underwear drying on the radiator, which he had washed in the staff loos.” The CCRU just vanished,” says Brassier. “And a lot of people – not including me – thought, ‘Good riddance.’” Like Land, Plant and Fisher had both read the French accelerationists and were increasingly hostile to the hold they felt traditional leftwing and liberal ideas had on British humanities departments, and on the world beyond. Unlike Land, Plant and Fisher were technophiles: she had an early Apple computer, he was an early mobile phone user. “Computers ... pursue accelerating, exponential paths, proliferating, miniaturising, stringing themselves together,” wrote Plant in Zeroes and Ones, a caffeinated 1997 book about the development of computing. Plant and Fisher were also committed fans of the 90s’ increasingly kinetic dance music and action films, which they saw as popular art forms that embodied the possibilities of the new digital era.

Matt Colquhoun, “Accelerationism and the Christchurch Shooter”, xenogothic, 20 March 2019: https://xenogothic.com/2019/03/20/accelerationism-and-the-christchurch-shooter/ Mark Fisher, “Nihilism Without Negativity”, k-punk, 20 October 2008: http://k-punk.abstractdynamics.org/archives/010758.htmlIt gets hard to recall. “Try again tomorrow.”… In truth, I couldn’t penetrate that library of ungodliness any further, and was far too avid to be able to read it all from the beginning. So I resorted to translation once again.

It is a diamond formed of four other diamonds, representing the four pillars of XES: people, fun, being casual (“real life first”), and team play. It also references the focus on resources and the quality achieved together. And of course what links the diamonds into one is the X of Xenosystems. Fisher, Mark. “Permissive Hedonism and the Ascesis of Positivity”, k-punk, 2 May 2007: http://k-punk.abstractdynamics.org/archives/009325.htmlNeocameralism provided the conceptual engineering framework for a techonomic, accelerationist launchpad via fragmentation, sovereign corporation formalisation and market-based competition, enforced by the insatiable hunger of noumenal wolves stalking the Outside. Xenosystems has a very simple leadership structure known as the Board of Directors. As the name implies, several Directors lead and manage core aspects of the organization. At the head of the table, is the Chief Executive Officer. Whilst they retain the single highest position, it is the CEO’s role not to boss people around but to ensure both tactical and strategic goals for the organisation are met within the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Founders will always retain a position on the board. The main objective of the directors is to provide a solid core and ensuring that things get done despite being casual. Benjamin Noys, “Accelerationism”, No Useless Leniency, 20 October 2008: http://leniency.blogspot.com/2008/10/accelerationism.html Fun, no drama, real life first, maturity and sense of humour, exploration and exploitation of natural ressources

Translation is an amazing mechanism. It is a kind of possession . You have to let the thought you’re translating inhabit your body, and use it to express itself again, in a new form. One could talk of impersonation, but demons have no masks, no faces, only names. It’s uploading, in a primitive form. And it was a way to hollow myself out, to inoculate myself against the delirium… precisely by spreading it further.allows members to commit to certain missions/projects for predefined periods of time, providing sufficient amounts of time-flexibility and reducing the need for a traditional hierarchical approach to leadership. To Turner, the appeal of accelerationism is as much ancient as modern: “They are speaking in a millenarian idiom,” promising that a vague, universal change is close at hand. Noys warns that the accelerationists are trying to “claim the future”. This lecture is a compounding of the previous 2 lectures into a coherent whole (process), each singular part culminates into a working transcendental model of what it means to philosophically (and actually) ‘Accelerate the process’.
