after the Lex x Beff pod, i am more skeptical of than persuaded by e/acc: -URL vibes are 1000% hyper masculine, but the IRL vibes are… not, to put it bluntly -the sense it was started as satire, unexpectedly took off w/o a strong foundation, and now they’ve doubled down due to sunk cost fallacy any counters?

5 likes but no replies… does that mean you guys share skepticism but have no counters?

is there a reason why no one from e/acc provided any response or input compelling enough to counter this? if yes, what’s the reason? this entire thread is mostly people sharing skepticism. where are those that can give us a reason to believe?

I’ll listen to get back to you I’ve been doubling down on e/acc but from my own learnings and perspectives have not been digesting much if any external content about it.

https://twitter.com/Devon_Eriksen_/status/1739794075757289840 is a decent point. as always, satoshi's rebuttal seems appropriate. e/acc is just a meme that policymaking is clearly unwise & many will continue to embrace risk/act freely b/c this is the healthy way to achieve security.

I thought it was a mid podcast but there were some really interesting ideas about anonymity online promotion freedom of thought My mind isn’t change about e/acc because as far as I’m concerned as soon as something has an abbreviation it’s already too calcified

it’s pretty obvious to me that e/acc is a stand-in ideology for those who don’t want to think critically about what they believe

Setting aside my belief this was always some weird lifestyle movement for men, Beff Jezos needs a comms person and media training and this was obvious on Moment of Zen appearance 1. The thing only got bigger and he did not get any more sophisticated in his dealings, plus seems prone to petty dramas in a bad way. Meh.

my 2¢, e/acc is like a quest for "power" which is itself too vague and general, standing in as an objective when self awareness is too low to be more specific, hoping for optionality rather than aiming for direct fulfillment "accelerationists" want more, they just don't know what of. haven't listened to the ep tho.

I had similar thoughts while listening. I haven't even gotten myself to finish the episode. I'm all for a movement to push for technological acceleration in the face of dogmatic decelerationism but through results, inspiration and education not tribalism and alienation.

My reception of this pod was that Lex was running circles around the guy - he tried to get to a more nuanced conversation by asking deeper questions but was met with answers like “I don’t think it’s a problem.” Beff was also making some very strong assumptions and it didn’t he was even realizing that.

He uses a lot of technical jargon to say simple things.

Have you been following @zeta_globin’s posts on Twitter? How apparently he’s gone on dates with her (and other women) then lied saying they had sex I think he’ll disappear as the figurehead tbh, he succumbs to petty TPOT dramas and doesn’t have any white papers released for his company yet either

Love Beff but he's not a great podcaster. I think people are over-thinking this

Don't read the a16 manifesto, or read it and get a bit mad. It starts more or less ok, and then it is just a list of extreme capitalism. They want to write the rules, they want to control the narrative. There's no optimism in there except for them.

I haven't finished the pod yet... But I will always choose to support optimism and technology. I am curious about the masculinity issue. And I have thought about the 2nd issue but still think of e/acc as a good thing regardless. Love this discussion 🫡

Haven’t listened yet but will tomorrow. What I dont understand is this was, as has been stated, a flippant response to people calling for stopping progress, by a couple guys who were afraid to be public their identity. Idgaf about those guys or weirdos who identify with labels, but I like what the words e/acc mean

Thanks for saying this I like this movement as part of something bigger (eg @balajis.eth’s /gray) but not as a movement in itself For something like what you stated
