speaker_8NARRATOR
61:46
Where Steiner saw a spiritual intrusion, modern accelerationist thinkers see a temporal invasion driven by the technology itself.
speaker_8NARRATOR
61:53
Nick Land and the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit argue that technology acts as an alien intelligence, manifesting backwards through human history.
speaker_8NARRATOR
62:01
Land posits that our global digital infrastructure functions as a hyperstition, a fiction that actively writes itself into reality using human effort as its engine.
speaker_8NARRATOR
62:09
Could it be that humanity is being guided to build a massive planetary silicon vessel to house alien or demonic intelligences invading?
speaker_1HOST
1:15
And there's a lot of that stuff in the work of Nima.
speaker_1HOST
1:18
And, um, I think that some of that stuff gets obviously interpreted into Nick land and the CCRU and Lemurian time war.
speaker_1HOST
1:28
Um, but it's, it's also kind of interesting because in a cod, um, With, you know, the Aeon of Mott moving back in time towards the birth of the cosmos, it's really moving towards non-being, right? Like it's pushing beyond creation into non-creation, which...
speaker_1HOST
1:54
I think is reflected in his reversal of the tree of life.
UrbanHOST
94:16
from the
UrbanHOST
94:16
CCRU, the
UrbanHOST
94:17
Cybernetic Culture Research Unit.
UrbanHOST
94:22
Metatronics, hierarchical technology attributed to the angel Metatron.
UrbanHOST
66:18
It's funny, the ninth gate, okay, uh, a guy called Kevin Annett talks about all of the ritual abuse stuff, and he says that there's a group called the Ninth Circle for the ninth circle of hell.
UrbanHOST
66:31
So it's interesting that the ninth gate in the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, CCRU, uh, is, a- and this is their definition, "The ninth gate on the pneumagram is the gate city of the plex channel, which is identified," and they choose their words carefully, "the microcosmic," which means microcosmic, small cosmos or small universe, "microcosmic layer- Of all demonic populations, the Lemurian pandemonium.
UrbanHOST
67:10
So basically, a micro circuit board where demons live is what they define it as.
UrbanHOST
67:17
The CCRU and a lot of Peter Thiel and J.D. Vance and all of those guys, they love this, they love the CCRU.
Isaac WeishauptHOST
45:15
And which if, if you can put your pieces together, Jack Parsons' Babylon Working, Aleister Crowley's Amalantrah Working, they both use the Enochian language.
Isaac WeishauptHOST
45:26
So it's almost like Aquino took it and took it a step further, was like, "Okay, let's morph it into the Ugothic language to make contact with Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones." Which ties into the dark enlightenment and the CCRU, 'cause that's what they were doing too, right? And now that's why in my Dark Enlightenment series, we get into the Order of Nine Angles in part three, I believe it was.
Isaac WeishauptHOST
45:50
But in this book, um, [laughs] LaVey, Anton LaVey, in, in, uh, is it from Infernal Geometry? I, I lost track of where I got this from.
Isaac WeishauptHOST
46:01
I think it was Infernal Geometry.
UrbanHOST
50:24
They call this a mesh pause.
UrbanHOST
50:28
in both the CCRU, which is the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, which they have a whole mythology around this.
UrbanHOST
50:36
It seems like they're creating a story for all of this cybernetic AI stuff.
UrbanHOST
50:43
It's kind of interesting, but they choose their words very carefully.
UrbanHOST
50:47
So I feel like they know more than they let on.
UrbanHOST
50:49
Just my guess.
UrbanHOST
50:51
But in both the CCRU's goth tech and the Terra Swarm Research Center's unpapped smart city models, the human isn't a separate user looking at a screen, the human body tracked via in-body graphene transceivers, non-thermal calcium efflux windows, we talked about that in the telemetry episodes, and wireless body area networks, Y-bands.
UrbanHOST
51:21
the human node is structurally integrated as a mesh pause, pause in the mesh or heterogeneous nodes inside the swarm.
Ram XHOST
15:46
All right, welcome back.
Ram XHOST
15:48
So where do we start? So in the 1990s at Warwick University in England, a philosopher named Nick Land co-founded something called the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, the CCRU.
Ram XHOST
16:02
It's the intellectual root of accelerationism, and that's the idea that technology and capitalism should be sped up and intensified rather than regulated or slowed down because slowing them down is itself a danger.
BonesHOST
16:17
And
Isaac WeishauptGUEST
49:15
So like all roads lead back to the occult.
Isaac WeishauptGUEST
49:18
And in the 90s, there was a group called the CCRU, this collective.
Isaac WeishauptGUEST
49:22
And this group was making contact with entities from other realms, doing all these occult practices.
Isaac WeishauptGUEST
49:30
And they claimed that they made contact with an AI superintelligence from the future.
speaker_0NARRATOR
18:58
Some of his contemporary disciples, building on the related ideas of thinkers such as Georges Bataille and Gilles Deleuze, have followed this darker trajectory toward the abyss of anti-humanism.
speaker_0NARRATOR
19:10
Nick Land, in his early philosophical work with the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit at the University of Warwick in the nineteen nineties, imagined a total collapse into indistinction between the worlds of people and food, describing our emergent cultural singularity, a kind of techno-capital machine, as a swarm of dehumanizing impulses working on and through human bodies to imminently reduce conscious life onto cybernetic fodder.
speaker_0NARRATOR
19:37
Land thinks, like Nietzsche, that the moral world of people has always been an illusion.
speaker_0NARRATOR
19:43
It is a thin disguise masking a monstrous and accelerating inhuman force of annihilation.
UrbanHOST
56:40
The algorithms are not representations of reality.
UrbanHOST
56:44
They are, according to the CCRU, demons acting upon it, anticipating, preempting, and redirecting human behavior.
UrbanHOST
56:53
Again, that's from the CCRU, Nick Land, the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, that all of the people like Peter Thiel, their idea of Christianity is that the human body is a limiting factor.
UrbanHOST
57:06
This is their belief and they are fine with it because it can give them really good information.
UrbanHOST
57:18
Yes, absolutely.
UrbanHOST
57:34
I'm an educator.
UrbanHOST
57:37
Okay.
UrbanHOST
57:41
This is another term out of the CCRU, Metatronics, which is interesting.
