Accelerationism is the belief that making existing problems worse is the fastest way to produce a better future.
Depending on the version, that can mean encouraging economic disruption, institutional collapse, political polarization, or even violence because crisis is viewed as a necessary catalyst.
In its most extreme form—used by some white supremacist terrorists—violence is intended to accelerate social breakdown and provoke civil conflict. Less violent versions can still justify ignoring short-term human costs on the assumption that technological or historical progress will ultimately outweigh them.
There’s actually a whole section in the vcinfodocs link above, but their version is called e/acc for “effective accelerationism” as an antithesis of “effective altruism”
Marc Andreeson isn’t just “some billionaire”. He’s working directly with Thiel, Balaji, Horowitz, Vance, Vought, Yarvin, and many others to bring the collapse of the United States of America, so they can rise as CEO-kings from the ashes in their Network State monarchies. They are extremely dangerous and are committing treasonous actions in their coup attempt that’s taken 10+ years to build. It’s fucking crazy but true, just read the link above, or watch/listen to a It Could Happen Here/Behind The Bastards podcast with the journalist who put this info together.
To add to this comment, people who believe in this philosophy call themselves accelerationists.
