Summary
The article defines a cyberdelic stance as a way of engaging technology consciously, treating digital systems as feedback loops that can either capture attention or cultivate wisdom, agency, and relationship. It traces cybernetics from its roots in steering and feedback through nature and living systems, then fuses it with psychedelia to describe tools and practices (technodelic, numadelic, spirit tech, moist media) that reveal mind and interconnection, inviting practitioners to become co-creators of their own loops rather than passive subjects of algorithmic control
