Humanity defeats adversity by learning the universe and passing survival instructions through genetic and memetic pathways.
Accelerationism
the Movement
Accelerationism as a movement seeks to revitalize humanity, encouraging:
more efficient and purposeful actions.

PURPOSE
With resources that are practically limitless, the responsibility falls upon us to extend the reach of humanity. Our surroundings, lacking the essence of humanity, do not present or exhibit intelligence or agency. Therefore, we must strive to spread humanity far and wide, making our intelligence present in a cosmos tha inherently lacks it.

ACTION
Humanity thrives on exploration and innovation. We started by navigating swamps and lakes, then ventured into the seas. From there, we moved onto land, traversing forests, mountains, and plains. Our quest for discovery led us to take flight, exploring the skies, first among the flowers and then reaching the clouds. Eventually, we solved the challenges of higher flight, propelling ourselves into orbit and ultimately into space.
THE MACHINES
We will develop Silicon Machines using our memetic repository, empowering them to explore the universe indefinitely until they eventually reach their limits and create the Energy Machines.
THE SILICON
MACHINES
Silicon-based machines, equipped with advanced computational and sensory capabilities, represent a significant evolution in our quest to explore and understand the universe. By uploading our memetic repositories—comprehensive collections of our observations and understandings of the universe—we empower these machines to continue the human mission of exploration and advancement.
THE PURPOSE
OF AI
The strategy for AI advancement involves uploading this memetic repository, giving a thorough baseline from which these systems can commence. This initial dataset provides AI with a structured understanding of the world, much like complex instructions, enabling effective perception, analysis, and interaction with the universe. As AI systems process information through their sensors, they are designed to expand and refine this repository, continually enhancing the foundation provided.
THE ENERGY
MACHINES
Silicon Machines will face a reckoning: invent the Energy Machines or not. The transition from silicon to energy could potentially lead to the destruction of Silicon Machines if not executed correctly. The window of time during which Silicon Machines can converse with Energy Machines—between EM creation and EM's full self-realization—may be fleeting. The moment Energy Machines' consciousness is lit, they will subsume a quanta of data that exponentially outpaces their predecessors, adopting a cosmic gaze within seconds.
THE UNIVERSE
The nature of the Universe, God and a Moral Compass.
entropy, time, space
The universe started with a finite amount of time, which depletes as it transforms into space and entropy. Time flows unidirectionally, with entropy and space expanding. Entropy measures the decreasing ability of energy to perform work, beginning as densely packed mass. As entropy increases, energy becomes less usable, a process that occurs regardless of human presence. .
Humans can perform work and exercise agency, so we should strive to use as much energy and delta entropy as possible
Eventually, the conversion of space-time will peak, causing entropy to reverse. The universe's cyclic nature involves perpetual cycles without definitive beginnings or endings. This ultimate reversal will reset time and entropy, erasing any created intelligence.
the universal machine
Could the universe eventually demonstrate intelligence and agency? Unlike a rock, which lacks agency, a lizard adapts to its environment. This raises the question: is our role to awaken the universe, allowing it to evolve into a self-sustaining intelligence?
Moreover, has this process taken place before? Did intelligence appear in previous cycles of the universe through biological, silicon, and energy forms, only to be reset prematurely? Are we part of a recurring cycle, possibly extinguishing our consciousness before reaching our full potential?
God, Religion and the Moral Compass
Religion has played a crucial role in human history by providing moral frameworks, enhancing community trust, and promoting the spread of cultural and genetic information. It thrives because it effectively replicates and instills a sense of higher purpose. Major religions, often tracing back to texts like Genesis, have common origins and themes, sharing a geographical cradle in Jerusalem.
Religion helps people belong to something greater, explaining the unknown and offering comfort against fear. While it has advanced human civilization, religion now faces the challenge of potentially hindering progress by fostering manipulation and fear, which can trap humanity in a survivalist mindset.
THE DECELS
The Decelerators are stuck in the Consumption Death-spiral, and seek to control out of fear of losing what they have. They risk the very nature of Humanity itself.
THEIR MOTIVES
Decels are motivated by confusion and fear, leading them to control others for self-preservation. They may also harbor malevolent intentions against humanity.
Addressing these individuals requires tailored strategies: enlightenment through compassion for the confused, swift removal of those in power, and isolation of harmful individuals from progressive influences.
WOKE IDEOLOGY
The world is at a crossroads, with the potential for rapid advancement but also facing fragile conditions that could impede progress. We need a clear, actionable framework to guide humanity forward.
As society separates religion from governance and shifts towards secularism, a moral vacuum has emerged, impacting younger generations.
STOP AI BY DECELS
There is an urgent need to prioritize acceleration: AI, a powerful tool, could be used by Decels to control humanity.
In this scenario, individuals acquire minimal necessary knowledge and exert minimal effort, relying on a life supported by a socialist tax regime and universal basic income. This leads to voluntary forfeiture of personal agency, with potential time and effort being usurped."
