You are indeed most welcome !
It was actually who convinced me of its present significance. I had heard of both concepts - post-history and hyperreality - but they were treated separately by different authors, and the articles were cheesy and none-too-compelling.
But Nuke presented the two of them as a unity, and pointed out their Apocalyptic character - which had not hitherto occurred to me. He was obviously right - though I still dispute some of his other points, esp. the non-existence of Free Will.
It has since become a central them in my eschatology.
Immediately after I typed that last reply to you, it clicked. I am definitely familiar with that concept. For some reason, it slipped my mind. Beaudrillard was a big proponent of the concept. It's been a while since I've read him though.
To some extent, we have been in hyperreality for some time. it wouldn't require everything that I mentioned to come to pass for us to exist in hyperreality, but it will facilitate our passage into that next phase, without question.
Beaudrillard - that’s the one. Simulacra and Simulacrum or whatnot. I’ve only read references to it, but it seems to be true. Most people are normies, living their lives in a prison built for their minds already. If the Media were to start broadcasting that “All Traditional Catholics Are A Threat To Society And Must Be Eliminated”, there’s a good chance the majority would just go along with it.
That might be an exaggeration, but not by much, and not for long.
