I've been reading lots of Nick Land in the last months and his work had convinced me, that I had to reposition my self on the (supposed) contradiction of reality/fiction. I mean, look at our current cyberpunk world, Nick was probably right. The future is cyborg-hybridization. We see how powerful technocapital is. Consider, he wrote this stuff 30 years ago. So the main idea of Land is hyperstition, which basically means, there is no difference between fiction and reality. Keep this mindset and everything you read, everything becomes theory. Yes, THEORY in the leftypol sense. Example: The dimensional merge theory by Chris Chan. Holy shit, could you believe, what kind of based theories this guy is potentially able to write?? Another example: Lately I was playing Splatoon 3 and in the menu, you can read the story of Alterna. Holy shit, this real/fictional theory is so good! A few years ago, I would have called these ideas "schizo" or a "shitpost". But I came to the conclusion, that using these labels are symptoms of reasonable thinking i.e. normie thinking.
Please don't mind the pic, I'm runnin on 56kbit/s.

Interesting. So if I wrote a fanfic where I date Dasha Nekrasova from Redscarepodcast, it would be real also somehow?

At the end of the day Nick land advocates for a type of corporatism. Corporatism is just capitalism trying to resolve it's contradiction by bullying people harder. It's been refuted in theory and praxis. End stage capitalism is a boring dystopia, without any of the cool cyber-punk elements. Until we upgrade to a more advanced mode of production, no fancy scifi shenanigans, capitalism is fettering the means of production too much.
>The future is cyborg-hybridization.
Not exactly. There isn't enough advantage from mixing technology with your flesh, you can get 90% of the utility from gadgets without any of the surgical downsides.
Cyborg-parts will be a medical thing, that comes after the biological potential for life-expectancy and health maximization is exhausted. When the flesh begins failing from old age, people will swap in machine parts. Future People will go through 3 phases. Biological, cyborg in between flesh and machine and than full machine android.
The biological phase is where people procreate, and the android phase is where people can go explore space at lower risk, because machine bodies can endure more space adversities, for example android bodies don't suffocate if the spaceship air-lock malfunctions. The cyborg phase is just going to be the awkward in-between phase, where people learn to let go of biological existence. At the end of your android phase, you're digital mind gets archived as a interactive historical record that can be summoned as a digital ghost.

What if I made something up, but then another person's imagination doesn't mesh with mine's?

>>604Have you considered that a lot of those sci fi media you consume was based on actual research or that a lot of our technological breakthroughs were made by people who were inspired by the sci fi?
It’s not anything magical

attempt remote view augmented intelligence from/with all this surveillance capitalism … cctv/browser history/official records … hook up your toric gap mind/dream play to review the techgnosis from the white-out shiny nosferatu dimension HYPER-IMAGINATION … basically if you mess up "yer life" enough that even prison/lobotomy/suicide/bribe isn't the solution then you go on the "radar" of PTAH … if you have insights & faith & patience & "useful delta flow" you may remain in this ironic grace form … KAPI-TALISMAN … gooning for the invisible splendor in DEATH WHITE ECSTATIC SUPER-MEDITATIVE/INSTRUCTIVE STATES … in the psychic realm you can pretend to be other people & "MIND RAPE/HACK" either as their cohort or as them directly "MIND-JACKING THE MEAT PUPPETS AGAIN" … to go off grid is possible … but really to go beyond grid is the true way? This augmented intelligence is addictive & only a strong memory from "pre-hookup" will save one from a glorious ironic-serotonal-headache glow ringing mindscape that will only end with what the institutions call dementia/schizophrenia &c … if you became hooked up to this field/force subtly or pre language/social then you may not ever know your true self outside of this agenda/paranature lot? QUESTION EVERYTHING & BEWARE THE OBVIOUS HIDING THE STRANGENESSES INSIDE THE DAY TO DAY?
