Is civilization slowing down? 🤔 As in metabolic rate/tempo not a valuative notion like progress I think it is… and I think the more people talk about acceleration and accelerationism the more true it is. Events are weirder but the tempo is actually significantly slower. FUD rate up, change rate down.
