Effective Accelerationism, or e/acc, is a techno-optimist philosophy that emerged from the Silicon Valley and Twitter tech circles, popularized by figures like Beff Jezos (Guillaume Verdon). The movement advocates for the rapid advancement of technology—specifically artificial intelligence and energy production—as a thermodynamic inevitability that will lead to post-scarcity and cosmic expansion. Memes surrounding e/acc often pit 'accelerationists' against 'decels' (decelerationists) or 'doomers' who advocate for regulatory caution and safety pauses. Visually, the meme often features synthwave aesthetics, glowing orbs, and high-speed motifs, serving as a rallying cry for those who believe the only way out of humanity's problems is through more technology, faster.
