Ask HN: Is there a individualistic alt to e/acc?
E/acc (effective acceleration) seems focused on pushing technological progress for the greater good. Are there any frameworks or philosophies that emphasize accelerationism but with a more individualistic approach?

That's not what it looks like to me.

That sounds good but it might give the echos of effective altruism and its recent debacle with the tech/fin industry.
It is a good idea but some notion to counter balance it should exist , some different form or progression philosophy. To keep it on check and balance ?

That largely is e/acc in practice because they are less concerned with approaching the issue in a society involving way and more whims of the rich retconned into being the 'greater good'.
