C HAOS MA GI C
The fundamental element of magic is the ability to manifest or
sublimate things, whether theyre emotions, states of being,
people, or the Statue of Liberty. Magic is the art of making
things appear or disappear, out of nowhere or into the void.
This magic, the lady-in-a-box, rabbit-in-a-hat form of magic,
is predicated on two questions: where did she go? And how
did we get here? When youre a baby, things are constantly
appearing out of fucking nowhere and vanishing with no hope
of return, until at some point you learn pattern recognition.
But lets not forget that on some level believing that the sun
will rise again is rooted in magical thinking.
CHAOS MAGIC
LOST, ALONE,
OR DEAD
CHAOS MAGIC
Chaos Magic is what happens after will. Its the antidote to the
tryhard problems that come with overthinking everything. If
you really want change you have to go deeper.
Like branding, Chaos Magic is mostly concerned with
inception. But where branding is about implanting ideas in the
brains of an audience, Chaos Magic is about implanting ideas
into your own. Both practices depend heavily on the creation of
sigils + mantras. There is a tight homology here:
SIGIL = LOGO
MANTRA = SLOGAN
One guide says for your magic to work, you should make a
sigil, forget about it, then stare at it at the moment of climax.
Fuck someone wearing Chanel, stare at the label while youre
cumming, and youll become Karl Lagerfeld. Chaos Magic, like
branding, is desire doomed to be commercial.

HACK YOUR
LIZARD BRAIN
A. Founder Mode
The startup founder, the Kool-Aid mixer, poor-but-rich
(a collapsed masculine binary). Founders turn ambient anxiety
what is the future, how will we make money, whats a good
investment, etc. into specific fear in the forms of capital and
employee misery (see K-HOLE #3, the Brand Anxiety Matrix).
Founders often create real, tangible things that are worse than
the anxiety theyre responding to in the first place.
13
B. Forecaster Mode
la Cayce Pollard, this is someone who is early on her time
signature, who can see or sense the future or correctly intuit
the knowledge of crowds. This person knows, and knows
early. She knows without knowing how she knows. This person
modulates time (see K-HOLE #2, Prolastination). But seeing
the future changing it. Networks of power and influence
remain the same.

SEEING THE
FUTURE
CHANGING I T
C. Stealth Mode
This person can disappear in America, has the ability to
modulate their visibility (see K-HOLE #1, Fragmoretation).
They hide in plain sight, behind NDAs, or by means of actual
escape. They weaponize their burnout trading in social
capital for actual control. After all, who doesnt love to be
noticed, especially when theyre missing?
16
Who was the Oracle of Delphi? What was she huffing? And why
did Aristotle believe her? In Grexit times, she still holds her
own as a riposte to the conservatism of making sense.
First of all, smart-ass, she was a group of people. Like many
occult technologies, the oracle used the alchemical quality of
group dynamics to transform inside jokes, gossip, and petty
infighting into advice fit for a king. The oracle processed
groupthink as poetry. Its pronouncements containerized
ambiguity. The oracles way of creating new things in the world
was to convert nonsense into sense.

NO T REN D
FORECASTER IS
AN ISLAND ;-)
GHOST I N G
In Los Angeles, youre always late. And youre in no position
to make demands to the Clock Winders that live in the East.
You are a perpetual late responder never the first to know,
but always on call for the aftermath. Living in constant
temporal disjunction, your days begin by checking an endlessly
scrolling inbox. Like youre at an Olive Garden being served the
bottomless bread basket from hell.
Communication breakdown happens when all of your
communication is asynchronous. You wake up to hundreds of
unread emails, 70 unread texts from group chats, a missed call
from a student debt collector, and GoDaddy.

have magical powers, when the little guy disappears the zoo
glass and lets out the snake, its all because of some intense
emotional experience. Thats magic, thats when the spork
bends, when youre so in love or so upset that your emotions
affect the physical world.
something, you say its magic. Like the dog trying to keep
the fish alive. You could say its a very emotional dog, who
has a thing about fish, but the fact that its captured on
camera is magical too theres a .01% chance that its totally
