EverGrowth exists to weaponize policy. Not as a blunt instrument of bureaucracy but as propulsion. Technology is not merely progress, it is velocity, a force that hurls humanity into futures unprepared.

The question before us is not whether AI contains potential energy, but how do we transform that power into kinetic thrust. There is no progress without technology. To sabotage it with anti‑tech sentiment is to dismantle one of our only hopes. Technology reshapes every facet of society, and who are we to obstruct that restructuring? We embrace it at all levels. Here in Austria, we witness the EU’s labyrinth of regulations, where the startup is treated less as a seed of innovation than as a suspect to be interrogated. Suspicion, far from nurturing, drives talent and capital into exile. Guardians of the future become its gravediggers. We know this fiendish relationship to regulation well, but we reject it. Reactionaries on both sides, those who dream of no regulation and those who dream of total control, grasp fragments of truth. The system has run amok and requires modern actors to redirect its trajectory.

Governance built on handshakes and old‑world equations is our target. The big shift demands optimization not as a slogan but as practice. Many brilliant companies have already set out to implement agents and optimization into decision‑making at government and management levels. Their ideologies stress the superiority of technological assistance, yet their execution falters. They forget that software must serve results, not rhetoric. Why should accelerationism, if it seeks to lift society, fail to optimize all experiences? Health, energy, education are ripe for transformation. The tragedy is infrastructural. To wait for processes to ripen before optimizing them is to waste time.
