A type of practice that I find interesting historically is the rigorously untrue. Astrology, for instance, was often a very tightly defined practice with a seriously requirement of learning: it just wasn’t actually real.

thanks to AI you can now become the malignant illusion spinning demiurge whom Descartes had to axiomatically banish in order to make Rationality possible
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Whatever happened to Golau Glau (rhymes with "doll eye cry")?
They had a string of lovely Christmas hauntology EPs and a couple of fascinating albums, all exclusively digital. Last heard from in 2015 as far as I've been able to find. Hope they're well.
