Fake news-prone Musk embraces another debunked conspiracy theory
Alex Wagner reports on how Elon Musk has stumbled from associating himself with a racist, antisemitic conspiracy theory that damaged the business and image of the former Twitter platform he owns to resurrecting a debunked conspiracy theory that in the past led to someone attacking a pizza shop with an AR-15-style rifle.

‘If trauma has a seated position, that was it.’: Lisa Rubin on E. Jean Carroll in the courtroom
NBC’s Lisa Rubin discusses E. Jean Carroll’s posture as she shares the courtroom for a second defamation trial with the defendant and her attacker, former president Donald Trump. Rubin says Carroll sat “almost pitched forward as if to inch herself as many millimeters away from him as she could. If trauma had a seated position, that was it.”

Ayman on how Trump’s policies align with Project 2025
President Trump, Vice President Vance and their allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election, seeing the conservative transition plan and policy blueprint as a liability after Democrats used it to attack the Trump campaign. But as Ayman Mohyeldin reports, just about a month into Trump’s second term as president and his administration’s policies seem awfully familiar.

Trump’s ‘twisted’ political strategy
Donald Trump appeared in court today in yet another E. Jean Carroll defamation trial. According to Joe Scarborough, “Donald Trump is there because that’s the best political fuel he can get… He’s going into these courtrooms because of the grand spectacle.” NBC News’ entrance polls from last night’s Iowa Caucus found that 65% of Iowa Republicans say they still deem President Donald Trump fit to be president even if convicted of a crime.

Isha Datar, founder of New Harvest, a consortium that promotes and raises funds for biocultured meat and cellular agriculture,
is an ACTUAL REAL genius, making a truly NECESSARY and IMPORTANT product:
feeding carnivores/carnists protein WITHOUT breeding, confining, torturing, & murdering billions of innocent animals:
cows, chickens, pigs. Humans can easily go vegan:
MILLIONS of us AR (animal rights) vegans exist. I've been ARV since 1980,
my older brother since 1979. But we can feed cats and dogs biocultured meat, vegan meat, so they won't starve.
For all the technobros who say that innovation and revolution is always good,
then they should ALL EASILY be behind biocultured meat and cell-ag,
the more important practical applied engineering project of this millenium.
Unlike carnists/carnivores, we Antinatalist Animal Rights Vegans (AARVs)
and biotechnologists are actually DOING stuff, making the world a better place, advancing humanity.
What are carnists/carnivores/selfish breeders doing to make the world a better place?
Nothing. All they do is whine and complain. All they do is defend a lying murderous scammer fraud Elon Musk.
A REAL genius would have tested his stupid neuralink on himself, cut open his OWN skull,
not tortured and murdered innocent nonhuman animals.
That Vegan Teacher and Vegan Gains Richard are also geniuses for having the huge followings they have.

He simultaneously contradicts one idea in left field with one in right field. He is all over the place with every theory under the sun intentionally to bewilder people. He's become the new Alex J but is a million times more dangerous while being used as the rock star persona instrument to implement the technological side of the beast system.

The only conspiracy here is the alphabet agencies generating absurd conspiracy theories like pizzagaye as bait to make Conspiracy theories look completely ridiculous. You forget that in law there is something called RICO laws is precisely how the conspiracy of the mafia was taken down. The legal system recognizes many forms of conspiracy all corporations are conspiracy it's any concerted effort by a group of people to a given aim. It's really the only efficient way of getting anything too large for individuals done. The social engineers that you people seem to be oblivious of simply ridicule the term and that's all it takes for you to dismiss its existence..So many of you out here are so far behind in understanding how the world works There's really no point in even sharing this information. Those who still have critical thinking ability will understand what I am saying.

In relation to conspiracy theories, hyperstition aligns with the idea that certain beliefs or narratives, even if lacking evidence or being unfounded (like some conspiracy theories), can gain influence and shape realities through collective belief and action. When people strongly believe in a conspiracy theory and share it widely, it might influence behavior and decision-making, potentially impacting societal or political structures.
The connection between accelerationism and conspiracy theories can be seen in the way both emphasize the transformative power of ideas and beliefs. Accelerationism suggests that intensifying certain aspects of systems can lead to radical change, while some conspiracy theories propose alternate explanations for societal events, encouraging actions that align with those beliefs, even if those explanations lack strong evidence.
Both concepts revolve around the idea that ideas, whether political ideologies or conspiracy theories, can gain momentum and influence events by being propagated and believed by a significant number of people, potentially shaping the future in unforeseen ways.
Left Accelerationism: This form of accelerationism suggests that to overcome existing societal systems (like capitalism), one should accelerate or intensify certain aspects of these systems to reach a point where their contradictions become so evident that they collapse, leading to a more equitable or progressive society. It often involves leveraging technology and automation to create abundance and reduce human labor.
Right Accelerationism: Contrary to left accelerationism, this version advocates for accelerating certain aspects of societal systems (like capitalism or technological progress) not to provoke collapse but to enhance them further. The goal is to intensify these systems to their extreme to bring about radical change, which may include authoritarianism or other ideological shifts.
Nick Land's Accelerationism: Associated with philosopher Nick Land, this form of accelerationism often emphasizes the role of technology and capitalism in accelerating towards a state of hyper-complexity and decentralization. It explores the idea of embracing technological singularity and the potential transformation of humanity through technological evolution.
Post-capitalist Accelerationism: This iteration seeks to transcend both left and right-wing perspectives by emphasizing a post-capitalist vision that includes advancements in technology, automation, and decentralized systems. It aims to accelerate beyond the confines of traditional political ideologies to achieve a society beyond the limitations of capitalism.
Effective Accelerationism: This version diverges from the traditional left-right divide and focuses on identifying specific elements within existing systems that should be accelerated to achieve desirable outcomes while mitigating negative consequences. It aims to strategically accelerate certain aspects rather than embracing an all-encompassing acceleration.
The term "accelerationism" gained prominence in the late 20th century, particularly in the writings of philosophers and theorists like Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, who explored the acceleration of capitalism and its inherent contradictions in their work "Anti-Oedipus" (1972) and "A Thousand Plateaus" (1980). While they didn't explicitly use the term "accelerationism," their ideas about deterritorialization, the acceleration of desire, and capitalism's self-destructive tendencies have influenced later interpretations of accelerationism.
Philosophers like Nick Land, associated with the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) at the University of Warwick in the 1990s, developed their own brand of accelerationism, which focused on the acceleration of capitalism and technology toward a point of radical transformation.
However, accelerationist ideas and precursors can be traced back to earlier thinkers such as Karl Marx, who analyzed capitalism's inherent contradictions and predicted its eventual collapse. Additionally, various futurists, philosophers, and theorists across different eras have explored notions related to acceleration, technological progress, and societal change, contributing to the conceptual foundation of accelerationist thought.
In other words: When skiing, if you fixate on a tree, you're more likely to crash into it. Similarly, when all attention, whether from mainstream or alternative media, left or right viewpoints, focuses solely on apocalyptic negatives—like immigration crises, pandemics, inflation, culture wars, and conflicts—it can intensify these issues. By obsessing over these "dangers," we may inadvertently contribute to their amplification and manifestation.
