Chaos Magick pt. 4: Hyperstition & The Meth Wizards of The West w/ Tim Hacker of the Cryptic Chronicles Podcast

In this week’s episode we explore the reality-bending paradigm of a largely unknown group of unhinged Chaos Magicians who sprouted from the philosophy department of Warwick University, England- the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit or CCRU. Under the direction of Sadie Plant and Nick Land the CCRU would develop exotic, paradigm shifting concepts like cyberpositivity, cyberfeminism and hyperstition. In the free section of the show we explore these ideas in depth and how the CCRU got its prodigal start. In the extended version of the show we quite a bit down the rabbithole to investigate what the CCRU got up under the leadership of Nick Land who brought the group to the house where Aleister Crowley was born following their eviction from Warwick University. We reveal a number of strange meth pipe prophecies from the CCRU, look at some prominent examples of hyperstition from the real world and the haunting, esoteric fascination with the ghost lemurs of Madagascar. Thank you everybody and enjoy the show!
