Ccru: Writings 1997-2003 QUOTES

1 " Neo-China arrives from the future. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

2 " Techniques of escape depend on attaining the unbelief of assassin-magician Hassan i Sabbah: nothing is true, everything is permitted. Once again, Kaye cautioned that this must be carefully distinguished from ‘postmodern relativism’. Burroughs-Sabbah’s ‘nothing is true’ cannot be equated with postmodernism’s ‘nothing is real’. On the contrary: nothing is true because there is no single, authorized version of reality – instead, there is a superfluity, an excess, of realities. “The Adversary’s game plan is to persuade you that he does not exist” (WL 12). "

3 " In the hyperstitional model Kaye outlined, fiction is not opposed to the real. Rather, reality is understood to be composed of fictions – consistent semiotic terrains that condition perceptual, affective and behaviorial responses. Kaye considered Burroughs’ work to be ‘exemplary of hyperstitional practice’. Burroughs construed writing – and art in general – not aesthetically, but functionally, – that is to say, magically, with magic defined as the use of signs to produce changes in reality. "

4 " OGU’s power works through fictions that repudiate their own fictional status: antifictions and unnonfictions. ‘And that’, Kaye said, ‘is why fiction can be a weapon in the struggle against Control’. "

5 " nothing is true, everything is permitted. "

6 " Duality is particularly widespread within biological order, from the ‘base-pairs’ of (RNA and) DNA code, through the binary fission of bacterial propagation, the (binary) sexual difference of meiotic reproduction, to the bilateral symmetry of the typical vertebrate organism with consequent pairing of limbs (arms, legs), sense-organs (eyes, ears), lungs, brain-hemispheres, etc. ‘Dual-organization’ provides a basic model for primordial human kinship structure. "

7 " Time is a human affliction; not a human invention but a prison "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

8 " The Monarch program is a mind control program. It is named after the Monarch butterfly, because, just as the butterfly changes its form – metamorphoses – so the controllers ‘trance-form’ the mind and personality of their subjects. Monarch recruits its victims when they are children, usually with the collusion of their parents. "

9 " Korzybski’s definition of man as the ‘time-binding animal’ has a double sense for Burroughs. On the one hand, human beings are binding time for themselves: they “can make information available over any length of time to other men through writing "

10 " In recent times Uranus has become the butt of infantile scatalogical humour. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

11 " AOE/Axsys   The magic machine. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

12 " Lemur of the 5::4 rift is called Ktt’skr in the Ur Nma Tongue. Her name in modern Munumese is ‘Katak’ which Stillwell translates into English as ‘The Desolator’. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

13 " In 2003 the Ccru undertook an intensive investigation into Kaye’s cryptic references to documented interconnections between William Burroughs, Peter Vysparov and Lemurian time travel. "

14 " 31. Eternal Revolution. Advance prolonged by waiting brings fractured completion. The path first favours subtlety, then repeated patience and activity. Superior subtlety opens the first hidden road. Resistance prevails. Five tests on the way. Breakthrough into immersive nightmares spawns promising developments. Fluid evolution leaves a dubious inheritance. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

15 " The Axsys programme of architectonic metacomputing aims at the technical realization of the noosphere. It envisages a fully fabricated transcendence or net-organizing photonic overmind, a concrete axiomatic system completing universal history as hierarchical intelligence manufacturing (capitalism sublimed into the ultimate commodity). "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

16 " The AOE (or Architectonic Order of the Eschaton) is an extremely hermetic magical society, whose secrets are regularly concealed even from its own initiates. All reported facts regarding its history, organization, doctrine, and practices must be treated with extraordinary scepticism. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

17 " Serious magic is too big to see. It consists of boxes within boxes within boxes ... endless embeddings, encompassings, and concentric closings of circles, topographic correlate of summonings, banishings, and bindings. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

18 " Moravec expects to wait until at least 2030 for AI hardware to become capable of running detailed simulations of brain-activity. "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

19 " Ccru defines Cybernetic Culture immanently, as the mode of propagation characterizing flat productive collectivities. Such flatness – whose intensive Quanta are Ccrunits or Barkers – involves: 1) coincidence of product-process 2) counter-chronic arrival (from machinic virtuality) 3) absolute impersonality, ahistoricity, and extraterritoriality "

― , Ccru: Writings 1997-2003

20 " Flatline Materialism. The Crypt is nothing outside an experiment in artificial death, hyper-production of the positive zero-plane – neuroelectonic immanence – invested by a continually re-animated thanatechnical connectivism. This fact carries inevitable consequences for the cultures that populate it, uprooting them into Unlife – or the non-zone of absolute betweenness – whose spirodynamics of sorcerous involvement are alone sufficient to reach the sub-mesh tracts of cybergothic continuum. Flatline Materialism designates the objectless Crypt-voyage itself, as Lemurian body-fusion at matter degree-zero. "
