Now I see. What I meant was (as Wikipedia helpfully translates) “hastening the apocalypse”.
Wikipedia also helpfully includes a paragraph that explains where I know the expression from:
In Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s fictional The Illuminatus! Trilogy, the evil scheme uncovered late in the tale is an attempt to immanentize the eschaton, a secret scheme of the American Medical Association, an evil rock band, to bring about a mass human sacrifice, the purpose of which is the release of enough “life-energy” to give eternal life to a select group of initiates, including Adolf Hitler.
You may notice that there’s a plotline similarity here between the book and the US under Vance’s/Thiel’s accelerationism ideology as well the Silicon Valley obsession with eternal life.
