I appreciate the punchy positivity but "we're all going to make it" is an idea so severely far-removed from the actual consequences of your premises that I have to wonder if you're being purposefully disingenuous.

“Nothing human makes it out of the near-future...”

e/acc is a pathetic attempt to hold on to the remnants of humanistic theology. It lacks any rigor or attempt to critique or intensify the general increasing technique gradient (Ellul). ‘We are all going to make it’ - is about as naive as a Winnie the Pooh book - we won’t all make it and if we accelerate hard enough and fast enough, most humans will become obsolete faster than you can say ‘Garbage time is running out’.

Bad take. Think harder.
