    I don’t understand the mentality going towards accelerationism.

    It’s like it’s somehow marginally better, or even more exciting, to see their home explode instantly in a ball of fire than to see it slowly catch fire in different rooms as the fire department gets held up in gridlock.

      Playing devil’s advocate, I can kind of see the theory.

      People will happily get slow boiled, like a lobster in a pot.

      But if an explosion happens right in front of their face, it gets them to pay attention (and maybe react before they’re fully boiled).
