HYPERSTITION?

Hype = accelerated
(Supe)rstition = myth-systems

Combination of myth and science

Hyperstition is a phenomena(?) or a neologism for fiction turning into facts. In this TEDx talk, Delphi breifly discusses capitalism as a hyperstitious example: Capitalism is a positive feedback loop, that is a product of technological acceleration, and it feeds to it as well.

"Hyperstition is sci-fi of self-fulfilling prophesies."

The elements of hyperstition are:
1. fiction becomes real (thru speculation)

2. our future(s) are imagined for us
Our futures, apocalypse, are imagined for us by the media through action/sci-fi movies that seem plausible.

3. constant change and accelerationism

4. The Old Ones







Keywords to understand:
