JP Thor, alongside Omar Ibrahim and B. Bones, presents his exciting new title, ACEL. It is both a call to action and an exploration of the ways in which humanity needs to increase the speed of its progress. With a pathway to the future, ACEL is a must-read for anyone who is thinking about the future.

Effective Accelerationism

During a difficult time in his life, JP came across the movement of Effective Accelerationism, which quickly made him an advocate and a strong thinker within the framework of this philosophy. e/acc involves a strong focus on techno-capitalist and AI; and JP has been promoting it for a while. But ACEL comes as a rebranding and as a way to take the movement to new heights, making it more approachable.

Speed Up, the Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher

ACEL is a manifest for the accelerate or die movement, with the unique twists and ideas that JP Thor brings. It discusses, at length, the evolution of humanity and technology and how the two are intertwined.

ACEL takes a high-stakes question: what do people need to do to survive and thrive in an increasingly complex world? The answer involves looking at human intelligence and technology, charting a course forward to push society beyond its current limitations. Accelerating human evolution is the way to reach new heights.

Past and Future

ACEL examines the origins of human intelligence and the way it has developed so far. Then it considers the current crossroads that people find themselves at and the ways to move forward or lose everything.

Survival and evolution are the two main ideas driving ACEL, considering AI, societal forces that are decelerants, pushing evolution back, and a world led by accelerant systems.

JP Thor: Living Outside the Bounds

JP has a unique life story, where he has always challenged the expectations of society. One of ten children, he was homeschooled and graduated as one of the best in his state. But this has always allowed him to follow his curiosity and his own ideas.

Before this, he got his pilot’s license at age 14, before even having a driver’s license, but now he wanted to fly fighter planes. And he did fly them, around the world.

In 2013, he went into crypto and later would go on to develop THORChain, which became the biggest decentralized liquidity option in the world. He did this anonymously and only revealed his identity in 2024.

The accelerationism movement came into his life at a difficult time and helped him overhaul his own bad habits and find a way to change the world. Now, ACEL is his way of inspiring and reaching others as well.

Conclusion

ACEL is a powerful read for people who want to change the world and understand how the world might need to be changed. It is sure to provide a unique insight and shape an action plan for a vision of the future that is modern and allows humanity to thrive.
