Acceleration

1520s, "hasten the occurrence of;" 1590s, "make quicker" (implied in accelerating), from Latin acceleratus, past participle of accelerare "to hasten, quicken" (trans.), "make haste" (intrans.), from ad "to" (see ad-) + celerare "hasten," from celer "swift," which is perhaps from PIE *keli- "speeding"— [etymonline d18]any creative process, if it evolves normally, always goes on accelerating. — [Mouravieff. 1961.]"... things change so rapidly that anybody can spot the pattern of change... The whole speedup has made everything much more intelligible and understandable than in the past..."

This article seems to particularly focus on the concept of acceleration in terms of technological, social and cultural change velocity.G. Eiríksson, August 2022. A certain way of operating with this fact may be called accelerationism.recommendations call for further development of new practical doctrine in this field, refinement of practical tools supporting “innovation velocity,” and a coherent experiential training regimen for a new class of freedom defenders deployed in multiple theaters and contextual settings.

Types of accelerationism: e.g. Political accelerationism; Innovation acceleration.innovation will accelerate faster the more people get involved in the process of discovery— Bauwens 14Technological changes have changed social relations, and the acceleration of technological changes has accelerated social change. (Eiríksson.)
The acceleration of the trans-marxist accelerationism leads from a techno-cultural reaction mass. See: Technological acceleration.
The acceleration of Leftism has been referred to as "Progressive" acceleration.
