Episode notes
Hypersition and Positive Feedback
- Positive feedback, not negative feedback, drives cultural and capitalist phenomena.
- Hypersition captures how extreme improbabilities explode from virtuality into reality.
Myth and Matrix as Gnostic Insight
- Modern myths like The Matrix reveal our reality as a fine-grained illusion.
- Taking the "red pill" symbolizes recognizing this illusion and seeing beyond.

- Signals like speeches can cause huge real-world effects disproportionate to their energy.
- This resembles action at a distance through radical amplification rather than classical causality.
