Get the the lost prophets mug.The practice of using religious symbols in the blatant promotion of commercial enterprise, for the purpose of either implying a higher (false) sense of integrity, or invoking denominational guilt for doing business with competitors.

Get the prophete mug.Prophetosis (n.): an online and/or social-media-amplified condition where everyone is incentivised to speak like an original source—certain, absolute, “in the know”—and where credibility is performed more than proven.
The algorithm doesn’t reward careful.
It rewards fast.
It rewards attention.
It rewards clicks.
Prophetosis becomes almost as Terrence McKenna defined it in the 80s and early 1990s to be 'hyper-novelty'. Applications of hypernovelty within prophetosis is to be determined on: the newest claim, the hottest take, the stylish persuasion, the sharpest certainty—whether it’s accurate or not.
Whole populations quietly shift from:
citizens → audiences;
From thinkers → followers.
Not because people are foolish, but because the environment they enter is designed to make certainty contagious.
The result looks like information disorder:
- misinformation (wrong, but believed)
- disinformation (wrong, and pushed deliberately)
- malinformation (true, but weaponised)
And prophetosis is the symptom cluster:
- Overconfidence dressed up as authority
- Hot takes replacing evidence
- Identity signalling replacing curiosity
- “Trust me” replacing “Here’s how I know”
