Ordinaryism

Description

DeepSeek:

"A March 2016 P2P Foundation mailing list post by Marc Garrett of Furtherfield introduces Ordinaryism as a sustained theoretical counterweight to accelerationism . Drawing on philosopher Stanley Cavell, Robert Jackson's Ordinaryism series argues:

"...the core motivation behind [accelerationism's] key approach embraces skepticism (even if the explicit method is to reject skepticism in favour of increasing applications of knowledge) - whereas what Ordinaryism suggests is that skepticism cannot be refuted nor endorsed, only inhabited as a salient vulnerable condition." [1]

This yields a crucial political distinction: the freedom to Exit (inhuman acceleration) versus the freedom to find one's Voice (Ordinary appeal) . This critique — archived on P2P Foundation infrastructure — represents a phenomenological and existential counter-tradition to accelerationist transcendence."
