rdinaryism: An Alternative to Accelerationism. Part 2 - Exit versus 
Voice: Freedom, Reasoning and Skepticism. By Robert Jackson.

Robert Jackson continues with a second journey into the realms of 
Accelerationism and Ordinaryism. Having articulated how 
Accelerationism merges Enlightenment principles in a supposed age of 
automation, Jackson interrogates its philosophical roots by 
suggesting that the core motivation behind its key approach embraces 
skepticism (even if the explicit method is to reject skepticism in 
favour of increasing applications of knowledge) - whereas what 
Ordinaryism suggests (following Cavell) is that skepticism cannot be 
refuted nor endorsed, only inhabited as a salient vulnerable 
conditon. The political implications of this division are telling and 
can be extrapolated through the freedom to Exit (inhuman 
acceleration) versus the freedom to find ones Voice (Ordinary appeal).
