What we’re about
Creating a space for minds to gather and work to throw-down prejudice and preconception. Too often we act out of habit, this group should encourage reflection and review of why we act and think the ways that we do, grow understanding, and encourage all humans to feel comfortable and competent discussing philosophic and ethical issues.

"Accelerationism is a range of ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformations.[1][2][3][4][5] It is an ideological spectrum divided into mutually contradictory left-wing and right-wing variants, both of which support dramatic changes to capitalism and its structures, as well as the conditions for a technological singularity, a point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible.[6][7][8][9] It aims to analyze and subsequently promote the social, economic, and cultural forces that constitute the process of acceleration.[10][6]"
