Gone down any decent internet rabbit holes recently?

I recently came across the concept of hyperstition, which is about works of fiction becoming real. An example would be Slenderman, which started as a photoshop thing and inspired two girls irl to try to murder their friend to appease Slenderman.

This then led me on to Accelerationism, which is a notion that capitalism should be helped, so it can speed up with technology and I suppose finally end in a post human society when the AI singularity has been achieved.

That got me onto Nick Land and the CCRU in the 90s. Very interesting ideas.

Felt quite sad when I found out that in 2021 Nick Land is a guru to the alt right and silicon valley.

Mussolini. Didn't know much about him. Interesting dude, started out a socialist but eventually decided they were all fannies and would never smash the state so went the total opposite and organised a load of pissed off WW1 veterans and they all moved to some town just over the border with Yugoslavia and ran it like their own nightclub until they got enough heads together to start fucking shit up in Italy

Quantum computing. This is a crazy topic that I can't be arsed typing loads of stuff about unless any wants to chat shit with me about it.

Reading about the number gangs (26, 27, 28) in South African prisons and their practices of infecting people who break their rules or whatever with aids from rape. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun to be honest
