Effective accelerationism, often abbreviated as "e/acc", is a 21st-century philosophical movement that advocates for an explicitly pro-technology stance. Its proponents believe that unrestricted technological progress (especially driven by artificial intelligence) is a solution to universal human problems like poverty, war and climate change.[1] They see themselves as a counterweight to more cautious views on technological innovation, often giving their opponents the derogatory labels of "doomers" or "decels" (short for deceleration).[1][2]
The movement carries utopian undertones and argues that humans need to develop and build faster to ensure their survival and propagate consciousness throughout the universe.[3] Its founders Guillaume Verdon and the pseudonymous Bayeslord see it as a way to "usher in the next evolution of consciousness, creating unthinkable next-generation lifeforms."[4]
Although effective accelerationism has been described as a fringe movement, it has gained mainstream visibility in 2023.[4][5] A number of high-profile Silicon Valley figures, including investors Marc Andreessen, Garry Tan, and Martin Shkreli explicitly endorsed it by adding "e/acc" to their public social media profiles.[4][5]
