Weekend Links — Hyperobjects, Temporality, and the Book of Job

Posted on March 19, 2023 by tundranaut

Magonia As Hyperobject: “If the UFOs are psychic devices, then the real question is not about the devices or machines themselves, but what they serve as such equipment.”


Metacosmos: “Behold the time machine called ‘metacosmos’ that pounds on the fabric of reality. The machine does not travel, it prints a timeline, and the world moves. Unceasing, it comes to trouble the heart, to bang out nodes which magnetize together a real and a super-real. It is fed by our fascination, ripping through human collectives and smashing out fractal arrangements of sinew and synchronization. It weaves a lattice of speculative fictions that serve as a ladder for the flow of genius hominis, assembling out of the nigredo substrate called ‘mass man’ a vast, golden semiocreature with dead, alien eyes— lo, see how it looms over our cities, our bloodlines, and our futures.”


The Book of Job: “Satan’s answer to the problem of suffering is Death. Death and vengeance. Retribution. It is unjust that you were brought into this world and every bad thing that ever happened to you you did not deserve. God must pay for it. Those who did it must pay for it. The only purpose of existence is to seek power such that you can tear down all that is and leave everything as it was before God made it. Formless. And Void. Deconstruction. The Luciferian project. Is he right? Up to you. Christ’s answer on the other hand was different. Christ recognizes the problem. We do need consequences. The potential for Death, for pain, for failure…makes things real.”


Whose Time? Which Temporality? “…digital culture is defined precisely by the fact that it exhibits no discernible temporal rhythm, and many of our social disorders, from the deprivations of private life to the disintegration of public life and the apparent stagnation of culture, stem from this fact.”
