Cultural-structural reproduction limits social speed more than biology does.
Evidence
With respect to the surmountability of physiological-anthropological limits to speed, one has to take into account the new possibilities that loom in genetic technology and its fusion with computer technology, something Virilio sees as the beginning of a “transplant revolution” that may bring with it yet another revolutionary overcoming of previously immutable barriers. The requirements of cultural and structural reproduction may therefore constitute weightier limits to speed than biophysical processes. — Hartmut Rosa, Social Acceleration, 273
