In this mind-bending journey through the looking glass of consensus reality, we explore the memetic magic and reality-hacking potential of digital technologies in shaping our individual and collective consciousness. From the rise of microtargeted propaganda and the attention economy's hijacking of our minds, to the blurring of boundaries between the real and the imaginal in the era of fake news and alt-facts, we grapple with the implications of a world where reality itself is up for grabs. Along the way, we encounter chaos magicians and Silicon Valley sorcerers, metamodern philosophers and solarpunk visionaries, as we search for the keys to cultivating a wisdom-based "wokegnosis" that can help us navigate the perils and possibilities of this pivotal moment in human history. Ultimately, we are called to become imagination warriors and mythopoetic reality hackers, wielding the tools of digital sorcery and memetic alchemy in service of a more regenerative, compassionate, and enchanted world.
In this episode of "Bytes of Magic," technomancer MacBayne explores the duality of artificial intelligence, delving into its potential for both wonder and peril.

In this mind-bending episode, we embark on a journey into the heart of "Cyberpunk Shamanism" - a fascinating fusion of the neon-lit, high-tech world of cyberpunk fiction and the ancient, psychedelic wisdom of shamanic traditions. Through the lens of visionary thinkers like William Gibson and Terence McKenna, we explore the archetype of the "Cyberpunk Shaman" - a techno-mystical navigator of virtual realities and inner space, equally adept at hacking code and surfing the cosmic waves of consciousness. Along the way, we encounter strange new paradigms like cyberspace voodoo, silicon sorcery, and mechanical animism, as we ponder the implications of a world where the boundaries between mind and machine, magic and technology, are increasingly blurred. Ultimately, this episode invites us to embrace the way of the cyberpunk shaman as we chart a course through the uncharted territories of the 21st century - a path that requires both technical skill and spiritual wisdom, as we work to reshape reality itself and unlock the hidden potentials of the human imagination.
