Cyberpunk's protagonists are hackers, rockers, and other cultural rebels, clinging to a cult of individualism in a culture characterized by corporate control and mass conformity

These protagonists are adept at appropriating the materials of popular culture and making them speak to alternative needs and interests

Several subcultures have been inspired by cyberpunk fiction

"Subculture: The Meaning of Style", Dick Hebdige discusses how an individual can be identified as a bricoleur when they "appropriated another range of commodities by placing them in a symbolic ensemble which served to erase or subvert their original straight meanings"

In cultural studies bricolage is used to mean the processes by which people acquire objects from across social divisions to create new cultural identities. In particular, it is a feature of subcultures

It is argued that communities communicate and store collective knowledge through lateral communication

The Internet is largely a lateral media, specifically designed to promote lateral communication

The conceptualization involved in cyberpunk is more of forging ahead

These threads are fucking lame!!!!

Cyberpunk Is To White Trash What Cyberfunk Is To Negroes Out Of The Ghetto And Out Of The Mainstream XD

Pynchon is lame, too.

I will admit that this is less lame, but it's still boring. Just copy pasting cyberpunk articles and sometimes pics of Emma Watson.

I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease. fuck.

Let's talk about these posts. What do you think they mean? What is the point?

Personally I think it's some guy trying to make it look like the singularity is BEGINNING, HERE AND NOW ON AN OBSCURE TUVAN CASTRATO INDEX

Deep social mind is a concept in evolutionary psychology; it refers to the distinctively human capacity to 'read' (that is, to infer) the mental states of others while reciprocally enabling those others to read one's own mental states at the same time.

There is an intimate, dynamic interplay between mind wandering and metacognition

In the perspective of encylopedism, the emphasis is on developing a universal knowledge network.

Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, too, was inspired by the free associative possibilities of the brain for his invention

The Global Village metaphor refers to the interconnected users of the Internet around the world

Theoretic bricolage, a multi-mode methodology that weaves between and within diverse and overlapping perspectives

Telluric currents are phenomena observed in the Earth's crust and mantle...

Certainly Love those dubs bby

In the human case, the eyes are very different, the dark iris standing out against a white surrounding sclera. This feature, combined with the relatively large size of the human eye and its horizontally elongated shape, assists neighbouring conspecifics to detect direction of gaze and, on that basis, engage in mind-reading

The language of the birds...
...to communicate with the initiated

was this published in glamour magazine and you're posting it ironically because it's bad? i mean nobody could seriously use the phrase "mass conformity" here and now

>>7188020
...was considered a secret

My dear friend!

How are the khryseai?

Emma not only was an amazing theatrician but knew the glamour of allure. "Be careful," she had heard once, "linguistic shells might disempower your perceptions."

>>7188036

>"linguistic shells might disempower your perceptions."

How old were you when you noticed your own existence?

>>7188020
>>7188030
Oh it's a secret language of birds that only the initiated can understand. Well how do you get initiated?

"The door to the invisible must be visible."

Between 1975 and 1980 Sussman and Steele worked on developing their ideas which have become known collectively as the "Lambda Papers"

>>7188076
First, that I helped someone notice their existence
Second, I was having trouble living in the same world as everyone else for a little
Third, because tonight's the only night that would have made sense

>>7188088

>because tonight's the only night that would have made sense

>>7188102
when else would it happen?
There was magic in the air

also I had some psychadelics

>>7188117
I am sorry we've never had a private conversation that I know of. Unless you'd tell me your name. I think you might be a little confused. Sorry to disappoint, unless you can clarify

>>7188121
Not private private. We had it here, in another thread some weeks or months ago. Unless there are several people who know the Daughters of the Sun and Astralia and so on

Anyway, I am spent. Till next time my friend. Best of luck

>>7188117
Do you know where I could find shrooms in the SF bay area?

>>7188141
I live Canadia, so sadly not. Find a rave, work from there? Or hang around edm concerts and work from there. Edm will get you m, which will get you a dealer, which can get you mushrooms

>>7188148
Toronto? which dance music shows do you go to?
