A positive feedback circuit including culture as a component. It can be defined as the experimental (techno-)science of self-fulfilling prophecies. Superstitions are merely false beliefs, but hyperstitions - by their very existence as ideas - function causally to bring about their own reality. Capitalist economics is extremely sensitive to hyperstition, where confidence acts as an effective tonic, and inversely. The (fictional) idea of Cyberspace contributed to the influx of investment that rapidly converted it into a technosocial reality.
The real synthetic, where the perceived quality of something becomes genuine and meaningful, when previously or subconsciously was perceived as faux, superficial, and fake. Examples of this are online relationships, genuine passion/work put into a videogames, and corporate pop songs start to have the same nostalgia and rose-tinted emotion when remembered from the past. “It was real to me.” Black Widow (2021).
A pure fusion bomb that vaporizes everything in a puff of smoke and helium gas, nothing left but a giant glassed hole. Most importantly it's good for the environment, no nuclear fallout or lasting damages to the environment. A nuclear holocaust without side effects.
Convergent thought is a lot like convergent evolution. Given the same environmental conditions people will conclude and conceptualize similar things, even though historical particularism and cultural relativism shouldn’t allow this. But maybe this is a case that we are less stratified into groups because of globalism and we now experience a greater global supra-consciousness. Its just materialism in action
Within the periphery of states that acts on a person. A pressure or spirit that can cause a shift of mental, spiritual, and social fields around or in reaction to a person.
A phenomena hypothesized and proven by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre where in the environment has an inherent dynamic and reactive quality, in contrast to the widely held notion that people and other moving machines are the only thing that reacts in the environment-observer relationship. A space has agency and vitality just as an observer does, it just acts differently in relation to the observer so much so that it is assumed static by becoming familiar, but this doesn't mean a space or environment won’t act in an unfamiliar manner when stimulus is applied. It can mostly be thought of in the physical sense, but it also can be applied that all so called spaces and environments, a social space, a mental environment, or spiritual places, all of this is reactive. Jean-Paul called the force or spirit that causes the environment to be reactive to people wahoorame. Wahoorame, the reaction at the change of states that will act on a person through a field. The physical world shifts, slithers, and is enraged by us, just as we can to it, just as society can with us, just as our mental planes can with our ego. Really it shows that the line between us and the other and outside if very thin, and might not even be there.
The discipline (or more likely the hobby) of shifting through the GBs of internet waste following some thread of thought that may realized into a coherent narrative of history on the (compressed timescale/fragmented) internet.
People that passively scroll or consume media; will most likely be easily radicalized from the effects of info pollution.
There is no night any longer. I'm appropriating this word and in the same vein of thought as the common usage of Piblokto, my meaning will describe the manic and hysterical joy of the sun and the summer. The frenzy that people in the circumpolar north participate in as all hours or for work, fun, and being conscious for there is no night or time to sleep.
A loose aesthetic trope for visual are Similar to Simon Stålenhag, it is a style in the ordinary architecture and design of 1990s-today (2020s) with the light interspersion the neon, such as the twinkling lights of a faraway city during dawn/dusk, the signage on buses or trains, and the warm glow escaping the window of a house into the blue world.
As a recounting of a conversation I had with a guy named Alessandro when our 2 groups had reconvened in Stavanger following a day of adventure (and after he a drinked a little of his foamy beer from a wine glass); we were discussing the cultural differences of a body's relation to its homeland between America and Italy. He said how I feel towards America and Anchorage reminds him of his travels to Dubai (and the first word he used to describe it was non-City). A non-City has all the qualities and appearances of a true city, housing, a growing population, social and emotional spaces, and its own “identity”; and yet it still is a cultural hole. Dubai in particular is a western city in a Muslim nation, where you can gamble, drink, and women can be scantily clad. It has a culture but this is repressed/replaced by faux-American one. Demographically (as of 2024), it is 85 percent migrants with 90 percent of this group forming the workforce (slave labor) in Dubai. And maybe the greatest affront to what a city means is that it's a glorified petro-dollar playground in the middle of the desert with no other resource/justification for its 3.6 million population besides oil. Will there be anyone in this steel studded grave in a single generation when the oil runs out and the jobs go elsewhere? So yes it is a city, but not really, just because enough people “live” and exist in one place doesn't make it a community; are there communities in airports or amusement parks?
