The Influence of Memes on Shaping Reality

Memes have transcended being mere internet content and evolved into tools that shape our reality. The phenomenon of hyperstition, coined by Nick Land, describes how ideas expressed through memes can manifest in the future, akin to self-fulfilling prophecies. The podcast explores how memes like Lolita, trad, Cath, and others have transformed from parodies or imitations into tangible aspects of society. This showcases a new trend where satire or memes can influence and create new cultural norms and identities.
