#ACCELERATE MANIFESTO for an Accelerationist Politics

Accelerationism pushes towards a future that is more modern, an alternative modernity that neoliberalism is inherently unable to generate. 01. INTRODUCTION: On the Conjuncture 1.

Manifesto Crisis as catalyst. Risk as renewal. Classical strategic planning is based upon the assumption of a slowly changing future. That assumption is wrong. Climate change, technological innovation, resource shortages, political and social volatility, and more frequent technical and natural disasters point to a newly emerging context for strategic planning. VUCA conditions lead to a shift in how we understand and enact strategic planning. “Seeing the world as a ceaselessly complex and adaptive system… involves changing the role we imagine for ourselves… from architects of a system we can control… to gardeners living in a shifting ecosystem that is mostly out of our control.” VUCA and its consequences demonstrate that complexity and crisis themselves are the new context for governance and design. Dealing with transition can produce fear, resistance, and anxiety. Thankfully, there are a range of useful tools for addressing long term planning under uncertainty.

The Repair Manifesto is part of the project Platform21 = Repairing for which we sought to make repairing cool again – over a period of five months. Although the project has now ended in Platform21, it doesn't mean we are dropping the repair mentality. So rediscover the joy of fixing things and share your repair knowledge.
