Christmas Bonus: Hyperstition Addendum
Podcast: Weird StudiesRating: Explicit Published On: Tue Dec 25 2018
Description: Happy holidays, Weird Studies listeners! In this short "Christmas Bonus" episode, your intrepid hosts finish up what began as a discussion of Nick Land's concept of hyperstition. Following last week's closing remarks about the importance of "banishing" ideas that might otherwise take us over, the segment focuses on the dividing line between the personal and the political. Where does the one end and the other begin? What do we risk when we choose to make a necessarily limited standpoint the locus of some totalizing view? The answers will take back to the birth of eukaryotic cells, the sin of Cain, and the wisdom of Sun Ra. References made in this conversation were included in the show notes for Episode 36 (https://www.weirdstudies.com/36).
