Idea
An ideology tracing to Nick Land (1993) that says capitalism is an autonomous, alien-like intelligence using humans as temporary hardware — so don't resist it, speed it up. It matters because, as described here, it captures exactly the people capable of seeing the pattern and directs them to enthusiastically build it: a rebellion that produces compliance.
