I think it's inevitably bad because dehumanisation ends in
war. Dehumanisation, for me, is synonymous with violence. It isn't
just technology but the terrifying post-modern subjectivity that
allows 8 billion people to co-exist in relative peace.
"Accelerationism" looks set to build still more and better weapons,
fewer ways of resisting using them, and less capacity to care, so I
fear the colder future you speak of will be a nuclear winter. Of
course, as you say, it's like some people want that.
