There's a separate discussion (that Land started, but didn't finish) about how that sci-fi story is structured, and why it works as a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. Why it's such a good meme. This is my real frustration with nick : he figured out that capital was hyperstitional, but for whatever nerd, aspie reason somewhat implied that only capital can be hyperstitional. Hyperstition is a fucking skill. Even if you're only cultivating a tiny little plant compared to the giant monolithic (dying) tree of global financial capitalism, it still has a chance to grow if you tend to it. That bloomer mentality finds a way to shine through. Positive Mental Attitude. Cosmotechnics is what you get when you reimagine ethics from a magician's pov.

Kamboucha and rhizomes are real.

it's loads of fun if you take that assumption and run with it as a mode of literary analysis and critique sci fi that way. Whether it's legitimate and pertinent to lived life, idk.

this one is fun because it hints at the retrocausal action of hyperstition.
