Capital is the ultimate simulator. That's why we're obsessed with it. It does to postmodern minds what the secrets of alchemy did to the Middle Ages. We can't simulate it except by debasement or forgery - or by multiplying debt and credit. Which allows it to reproduce and thereby creates the time-warp effects.

It's narcissism that does this. More properly the misunderstandings of narcissistic process. Need is biological, desire is psychological. We get these mixed up after Freudian depth psychology - as we should. We really *don't* know what a body can do. Cybernetic bodies will show us, but much of the history of civilization is already in this way a history of prosthesis. Hyperstition ceases to be hyperstition once the abstract memes become real and concretized as meta-historical reality.

Capital is our demiurge and we are inseparably bound up with it. Multiplying ourselves into the ether.
