clacke: inhibited exhausted pixie dream boy πΈπͺππ°ππSomeone was recently, I forgot the context, referring to someone as a "follower of TESCREAL", with further explanation that made it sound like this is a coherent movement that self-describes under this label.
I wanted to correct that and clarify that #TESCREAL is just a label made from observation and study, for a set of loosely related idea complexes, that was coined by Emile P. Torres and studied by Torres and Timnit Gebru. I wanted to explain that people within the tendency don't actually call themselves TESCREALists.
But it seems reality already caught up and invalidated my correction:
> for a while the Twitter profile of billionaire venture capitalist Marc Andreessen read: βcyberpunk activist; embracer of variance; TESCREAList.β
