So when things are told to be accelerating, we have some choices to do.

First, what is accelerating compared to what other regime in which referential?

Who is telling that things accelerate, and why they are motivated to make us believe that it's happening.

Also, is accelerating going to be forever and only with positive feedback loops? Or are the pro-acceleration sending the car quicker in a well visible wall, but they sell the speech that stopping the vehicle right now would mean losing the ongoing race. Of course questioning the idea of the race itself and its cargo cult is taboo. It's all about competition don't you know (unless it threat an established oligarch)?
