Public Sticky notes
As a principle of political activism, reality hacking takes advantage of the insight of linguists and sociologists who argue that post-twentieth-century mass culture in the advanced world has become particularly impervious to either positive or negative rethinking of community. Negative assertions about community — in the form of negative news stories and mass political protests — tend to fall on ears overloaded by daily tragedy in the news, even when the causes and facts they relate are valid and deserving. Positive reimaginings of community — in the form of utopian havens, alternative religious or political structures, or idealistic protest against the status quo — equally tend to fall upon unbelieving ears of busy individuals who have already accepted the standards, sacrifices, and limits of the reality in which they normally operate.

The term is representative of 'altering reality through intent', with philosophical and cultural underpinnings of Techno-progressivism, Hacker Culture and Eastern Mysticism.
