Land coined the term hyperstition, a portmanteau of superstition and hyper, to describe something "equipoised between fiction and technology". According to Land, hyperstitions are ideas that, by their very existence as ideas, bring about their own reality.

人工智慧概述
超現實主義(Hyperstition)是指虛構或推測性的想法,透過人們的信念和傳播,最終成為自我實現的預言,並塑造現實,模糊了虛構與事實之間的界線。例如,摩爾定律的預測推動了數位產業的發展,或者狗狗幣的炒作創造了其價值。超現實主義由尼克·蘭德(Nick Land)提出,它描述了具有因果力量的文化敘事,這些敘事透過自身的存在成為有效的文化元素,從而實現現實,其功能類似於「自我實現的預言的實驗性(技術)科學」。
超現實主義的關鍵面向:
自我實現的預言:其核心要素是,當人們相信並採取行動時,某種信念或預測就會變成現實,例如,銀行倒閉的謠言引發了擠兌。
文化回饋循環:這是一個正向回饋迴路,文化觀念影響現實,而現實反過來又強化了這種觀念,形成螺旋式上升,最終虛構變成現實。
超越迷信:與傳統的迷信(它們始終存在於虛擬世界)不同,超現實主義會積極地以現實世界現象的形式顯現,影響科技、經濟和文化。
例如:
科技:運算能力呈指數級增長的預言(摩爾定律)推動了半導體產業的發展。
經濟:炒作週期和投機泡沫,例如加密貨幣或網路迷因股票,都可能演變為超現實主義。
陰謀論:像QAnon這樣的現象就是超現實主義,它們獲得關注並影響現實世界的事件。
起源:由尼克·蘭德和控制論文化研究小組(CCRU)提出,該理論將科幻小說、哲學和數位文化聯繫起來,以理解加速變化的現象。
本質上,超現實主義探討的是,在科技高度發展的世界中,各種想法、故事和虛構作品如何獲得足夠的動力,最終成為塑造未來的實際力量。
- Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: A core element is when a belief or prediction becomes true because it is believed and acted upon, like a bank run caused by rumors of collapse.
- Cultural Feedback Loop: It's a positive feedback circuit where cultural ideas influence reality, which in turn reinforces the idea, creating a spiral where the fiction becomes fact.
- Beyond Superstition: Unlike traditional superstitions (which remain virtual), hyperstitions actively manifest as real-world phenomena, influencing technology, economics, and culture.
- Examples:
- Technology: The prophecy of exponential growth in computing power (Moore's Law) drove the semiconductor industry to meet it.
- Economics: Hype cycles and speculative bubbles, like those seen with cryptocurrencies or meme stocks, can become hyperstitions.
- Conspiracy Theories: Phenomena like QAnon function as hyperstitions, gaining traction and influencing real-world events.
- Origins: Developed by Nick Land and the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) , linking science fiction, philosophy, and digital culture to understand accelerating change.
