In this course

Daniel Pinchbeck is a writer and cultural theorist who explores apocalyptic consciousness, psychedelic experience, and alternative spirituality as frameworks for understanding contemporary transformation. In the course readings, *2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl* appears in discussions of how millenarian and conspiratorial narratives shape collective beliefs about technological and social collapse, particularly in relation to how communities construct alternative epistemologies around events like the Mandela Effect. His work enables an examination of how speculative and visionary thinking intersects with the cultural logic that sustains AI anxiety and utopian/dystopian imaginaries in digital spaces.
