Acceleration within society differs categorically from acceleration of society as a whole.

Evidence

For this reason, a systematic theory of acceleration cannot avoid undertaking an analytically precise categorial definition of acceleration phenomena (chapter 2.1–2 and chapters 3–5), and it is particularly important to determine to what extent the identified phenomena of acceleration, taken together, can be described as an acceleration of society (as a whole). This is a claim that is categorically distinct from the thesis of an acceleration of central developments within society. — Hartmut Rosa, Social Acceleration, 128
