The Future That Makes Us: Nick Land and Hyperstition

Can the stories we tell about the future actually help bring it into existence? In this episode of The Observing I, I explore the work of philosopher Nick Land, accelerationism and the strange idea of hyperstition, where fiction begins to shape reality. From self-fulfilling prophecies to artificial intelligence and technological change, we examine how our expectations influence what happens next, often without us realising it. We may have rather more influence over the futures we anticipate than we think, although that doesn't necessarily mean we're in control of them.
The same problem becomes rather more personal when we consider the stories we tell about ourselves. Our identities are shaped by experience, by other people's expectations, and by the labels we've gradually come to accept as descriptions of who we are. Those beliefs can influence the opportunities we pursue, the decisions we make, and the possibilities we dismiss without really considering them. Perhaps recognising these patterns gives us an opportunity to question some of the limits we've taken for granted. Are we describing who we are, or quietly deciding who we're allowed to become?
Much love, David x
