cyberphunkisms's definitions

Tick Tock

In a world dominated by the short form; circuit circumventing media, "Tick Tock / tick-tick" refers to a concept that has evolved alongside the digital age, primarily influenced by the advent of fast-paced, short-form media platforms, with TikTok being a prime example. Video killed the radiostar, and this term killed tldr, replacing it as the symbol the quickening pace of both media consumption and societal change because nobody even reads anymore. Originating from the simple mimicry of a clock's sound, it now encompasses a broader range of meanings. These include the traditional notion of time's progression and urgency, as well as varied colloquial uses. In everyday language, it appears as a flexible expression, adaptable to different contexts from casual conversation to specific subcultures. The term's adaptability reflects its ability to capture the nuances of contemporary life, serving as a linguistic tool that shifts in meaning according to its use and setting.

(The way I am using it also includes all other definitions; that is, it is an open definition. If you find a contradiction please let me know.)

Let us use the platform known as tick tock.

Oh but there isn’t any time left.

Arendtianfeminisms

Arendtianfeminism creates publicspace contentinternet where any may dialogue in way others retrace, rather than participating in rituals evoking standpoint, identity, transactional credentials, resisting neoliberal subjectivities converting relationships into ledgers calculating emotional labor & privilege, insisting personal experience becomes political once translated subjectively. Solarpunk Sabachtan gnosis shadow banned willingness to give something up contributing to durable common worlds within cyberpunk irony "clown world" cultural trajectory multiverses where we building7 Swartz, who Arendtianly realized "GORGON" were taking "&" out of "open access to knowledge & free information" transforming Reddit, his baby, to licensing boundary enforcing circumvention of communalspeech to marketabledataextraction, curatorialculturalmanifestation while ALTMANizing owning Reddit & GPT, crossing Rubicons giving law to others they themselves dont follow, "carry over burdens of trace" into broader shifts of ritualized practices as Couchsurfing became Airbnb Uber appeasing neoliberal gods.

Arendtianfeminism resists ironies of the cyberpunk altmanization of solarpunk swartz like a Minerva inspired Perseus giving gorgon haircuts, welcomes critique from refugee stranger, where speech itself already carries wisdom of "do unto others" in human siblinghood.

"Ever since the hegelianewomen arendtianfeminisms came around reddits hivemind tentacles enforcing empire have gone haywire!" said voldemort, the joker.

#gorgonwars

a term invented by #cyberphunkism philosophy to symbolize the rise of people debating with one another using non-digested ideas they themselves haven't come up with, or what Foucault, Heidegger and others recognize as "empty chatter" - mindless slogans that one hasn't actually digested but they just repeat as a form of bandwagon effect. Very much like an "earworm" which is just another "snake" on top of our gorgon heads.

hey dude i totally realize i was a gorgon participating in #gorgonwars when i was just repeating empty slogans and i had to go through a year of actually sitting and thinking and digesting thoughts, it was hell to do the actual hard work needed to become a subject.

yeah man, adorno totally talks about the importance of building bildung especially in a world which enforces neoliberal subjectivity through endless psychologisms

hivemind idiom

An idiom that is repeated by the hivemind.

For example, “what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger” or “it is too much unpaid emotional labor to educate you” are both idioms repeated and reinforced by the hivemind.

Stoicism is a philosophy that is filled with easily memeable hivemind idioms.

egregorewars

Egregorewars is a node inside contentinternet polymorphousmythology describing ideological conflicts between egregores, collective thought-forms sustained by groups sharing common beliefs, rituals, or intentions. These egregores compete to control cultural narratives, values, and social interactions. Gorgonwars explicitly exists within egregorewars as conflicts involving "Gorgons," agents lacking genuine subjectivity who compulsively repeat insatiable insecurity inspired vicarious traumatizing hivemindidioms (verbal clichés or symbolic "snakes" that do the thinking for them) that normalize neoliberal subjectivity, reinforce ideological conformity, inhibit dynamic thought and limit human collective potential. "Contentinternet" explicitly exists to sidestep the neoliberal hivemindidioms commodifying emotionality by making people conscious of these hivemindidioms and revealing these snakes in action, explicitly supporting hegelianegirls, faustianegirls, lacanianegirls, and arendtianfeminists in resisting neoliberal, privilege-worshipping gorgon culture by actively engaging devil’s advocates to shape independent subjectivities.

damn these egregorewars ware getting out of hand, I can't identify any ideology in this fog of war!

Paradisical

Paradisical is a play on parasitic and paradise. A reminder to stretch horizons and avoid comfort zone bias.

I finally decided that the 14 day cruise ship was getting a little paradisical, rerouted my flight ticket and got off early on day 10 to rent a jeep and explore the inland instead.
