RR Podcast Ep.4, P1 w/ Robert Cabrales: Hyperstition - Fictions Becoming Real?
from Rejected Religion Podcast · host Robert Elio Cabrales
In Part 1, Robert discusses the origins of Hyperstition, and our old friend William Burroughs from Episode 3 joins us again, as Burroughs's ideas about Time and Control play an important role in this story. And, as with Burroughs, the use of magick to try to change reality is also important here, especially with regard to semiotics. Theosophy's theory about root races, Aleister Crowley, and Lovecraft also get a mention.EPISODE NOTESLemurian Time War http://www.ccru.net/archive/burroughs.htm?LMCL=Mce24a&LMCL=q2_Nlu&LMCL=mttdXf&LMCL=ntDctj&LMCL=pVW4ZS&LMCL=c1yUJ5&LMCL=dFDG23&LMCL=wdLYreThe Ghost Lemurs of Madagascar http://www.williamflew.com/omni103a.htmlCCRU Archive Material http://ccru.net/archive.htmRobert Cabrales's "The Hyperstitional Philosophy of Time-Travel Cybernetics: Theosophy, the CCRU, and Black-Box Poiesis" https://www.academia.edu/40394659/The_Hyperstitional_Philosophy_of_Time_Travel_Cybernetics_Theosophy_the_CCRU_and_Black_Box_PoiesisArticles about Chaos Magic by Colin Duggan [see first two papers on the list] https://ucc-ie.academia.edu/ColinDugganMutants and Mystics : Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal by Jeffrey J.
