Operation Epic Fury - How Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are selling the Iran war to Americans
"We see the secretary of defense constantly putting [the war] in the framework, the narrative, of a big video game...We're blowing up a lot of stuff, we're killing a lot of people' … it's so distasteful to me...I think there probably is a good reason for why we are doing this, but we're certainly not hearing it from the administration."

Disneyland is cover for the fact that the whole country is a Disneyland (Baudrillard)
Matrix is the movie the matrix makes to keep you in the matrix (Damien Walter)
AI is cover for the ongoing project for making everyone less intelligent and capable of participating in the system.

🧵 (2/2) As our world becomes increasingly 'cluster-B-ified' - marked by narcissism, manipulation and emotional volatility - the need to transcend surface-level thinking has never been greater. The true challenge lies in cultivating the cognitive flexibility to engage with multiple frames of reference simultaneously. Only then can we hope to make sense of - and perhaps even transform - this bewildering reality we've constructed. #GameTheory #Hyperreality #ClusterB

CW: Postmodernism's Hyperreal of Intelligence And The Unrequited Lovemaking Of The English Language. (but really it is about Moldbug)
Notice: This post is not about postmodernism's bad writing, but about Moldbug.
Brother sent me a 90 minutes documentary (read: opinion piece).
It was made entirely of stock footage and named "How Comedy Was Destroyed by an Anti-Reality Doomsday Cult" clearly (read: possibly) inspired by Adam Curtis's documentaries (read: opinion pieces) made entirely of stock footage - "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" and especially "HyperNormalisation". Instead of Adam Curtis's matter of a fact BBC English accented narrator voice, we have a stoner Murikan, which I am told is actually a Canadian, quipping along the way.
And he is using the term "hyperreal". It annoys me. The "hyperreal" is a weird neologism the narrator names the normal word "delusion". It is a virtual reality people go into in states of crisis. People who go into "hyperreality" (read: delusions) build their life around it and sometime have others for company, like an unfunny comedian opening a new comedy club just for him and his posse. In the video the narrator keeps talking about a cult leader (read: a famous podcasting comedian) opening a cult compound (read: comedy club) for his cultists (read: the famous comedian's posse and audience), prefering to believe in comfortable lies instead of harsh truths, followers pretending to laugh at jokes made by their dear leader that would leave normal people deadpan just to keep their cult leader's ego well petted and secure their position at the comedy club. As you already know, there is only one reality and many opinions each based on good or bad reasons. When you base your opinions on bad reasons you are deluding yourself, so when the cultists mentioned in the 90 minutes opinion piece go into "hyperreality" why not just call it "delusion" like a normal person?
The term "hyperreality" comes from a certain brand of pseudoscience called "Postmodernism". One of its well known problems is inventing words for words for which we already have words. The word "delusion" is one of those words which the new unecessary word "hyperreatily" was invented. The new words are often fancy long ones thrown into the mix as chaff, to confuse the reader into believing that a superior intellect had written it.
In closing, Postmodernism is trying too hard and needs to take some writing classes. It may benefit in reading this bit by George Orwell:
p.s. forget about postmodernism and all that crap! That's yesterday's news because Moldbug won! In the end of the video the stoner guy says J.D. Vance is one of Moldbug's avid readers and Moldbug's crap was hugely influential on the current Murikan politics. And even though Moldbug's crap was partially a sort of a reaction to postmodernism, postmodernism doesn't matter anymore, because Moldbug won! If you do not know who Moldbug is, it means we are doomed. So in closing closing, have a nice weekend.
p.s.s. Moldbug's Neoreactionary writing is at least on par with postmodernism's writing in terms of bad writing. They are dark mirrors of each other. The bad writers that killed liberal democracy. I like that. So in closing closing closing, have a nice evening.

Early records had no real liner notes. You got a paper sleeve, then a front photo with maybe songs listed on the back. It wasn't until maybe Magical Mystery Tour's mini book that I really started to find detailed bio or content.
Given the foundational musics had an urgency (the music reflected their situation) and then their multi release contracts often bound them to that style to make a repeatable commodity, and then their styles became top ten by folks who never saw that original situation and the commodity Producer hires design, art, photos, essays, "value adds" I suppose? 😅
I seem to recall a pop 'superstar' box set pumped with personal photos causing someone to remark the next will need his baby photos.
Like, how much do we really need to know? It's music 🤣 Miles Davis "On the Corner" gives no clues other than what I just told you but that was enough to put my money down 😊
#Simulacra and #hyperreality come to mind.

🎩✨ In a groundbreaking exposé, the author postpones his vacation (and laundry) to enlighten us on Cracker Barrel's logo transition—a pivotal moment in American #hyperreality 🙄.

so when someone crashes out after falling emotionally bonding with an AI, what do we call it?
AGI depression? AI psycosis? LLM flu?
It's like #Hyperreality in real life.

Mein erstes Highlight der re:publica 2025: Shrimp Jesus und das Ende des Internets
Was für ein Tag! Ich bin gerade von Tag 1 der re:publica 2025 zurück und mein Kopf schwirrt noch von all den Eindrücken. Aber ein Vortrag hat mich besonders umgehauen: "Enter the Kingdom of Shrimp Jesus: Philosophische Perspektiven über das Ende des Internets". Prof. Sommerer von der Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, spezialisiert auf die Erforschung der kulturellen Konsequenzen von KI für unsere Gesellschaft, beleuchtete anhand des "Shrimp Jesus" wie generative KI-Inhalte unsere […] -
Führer KI
OpenAI plant, Verträge mit Staaten zu schließen. Und das ist wirklich beängstigend. Denn ganz ohne dreidimensionalen Schnickschnack oder mühsam skaliertes Fake News Publishing hat KI das wohl größte Potenzial, eine geschlossene Hyperrealität über unsere Wirklichkeit zu legen. Denn wenn eine einzige Denkmaschine zum Standard für ganze Staaten und Staatengemeinschaften wird, wird deren Sicht auf die Welt auch zum Standard für Entscheidungen und die Kommunikation dieser […] -

Crypto ist böse. Punkt.
Es ist bisher nicht bewiesen, dass unregulierte Crypto Coins etwas anderes fördern als die Bereicherung Einzelner, organisiertes Verbrechen und Destabilisierung von Finanzwesen und Gesellschaft. Es ist die ultimative hyperreale Wertschöpfung ohne jeden Nutzen für ein positives Fortkommen der Menschheit.

Hyperrealität: Literaturliste
Ich habe mir von ChatGPTs Deep Research eine ergänzende Literaturliste zum Thema "Hyperrealität" erstellen lassen. Da habe ich wohl noch eine Menge zu lesen, selbst wenn man die Klassiker wie Baudrillard und Eco abzieht 🙈 Für alle, die sich aber selber mal informieren wollen, packe ich das Ergebnis des KI Research hier einmal unbearbeitet rein. Viel Spaß 📚🙇♂️ Hyperrealität – Materialsammlung Im Folgenden findet sich eine strukturierte Sammlung von Quellen zum […]https://carstenrossi.de/2025/04/15/hyperrealitaet-literaturliste/

Virtuelle Models bei H&M.
Bis auf weiteres habe ich da eine klare Haltung zu: wenn Körper schon Ware sind, sind sie besser artifiziell, solange das „Recht am eigenen Körper“ gewahrt bleibt.

Imagine closing your eyes after scrolling too long. The shapes behind your eyelids are still luminous, negative imprints of a thousand images.

We are haunted through it. #Hauntology #MediaEcology #AttentionEconomy #Hyperreality #CriticalTheory #DigitalCulture

You don’t need to believe the simulation; you just need to engage. In hyperreality, truth is irrelevant. What matters is circulation. Attention has replaced ontology. To exist is to trend; to vanish is to stop rendering. #Hyperreality #AttentionEconomy

Influencers perform sincerity as a service. Brands simulate activism with machine learning. Authenticity becomes a genre. The hyperreal object — video, persona, AI intimacy — exists not to reflect the real but to replace the need for it. Participation now outranks belief. #Hyperreality

Baudrillard warned that simulation precedes reality. What he missed was how the simulation would start to feel better. Hyperreality isn’t a malfunction; it’s an upgrade. We prefer the copy because the copy looks directly at us. #Hyperreality
