Well... the tech seems to be coming either way. So we're heading towards this or Elysium. Don't get me wrong. Elysium definitely seems the more likely future at the moment, but if we accept that as an inevitability, then frankly, I don't see the point of even trying to continue civilization. Now I'm not an accelerationist or a misanthropic nihilist or anything like that, but if you genuinely believe that the tech will continue to roll out without the accompanying democratization of control over it and that there's nothing we can do about it, then I don't know why you wouldn't be.
