Well, that got me thinking. But that's the purpose of your writing, or one of them.
Isn't the current state of globalist theocracy merely a substitution of higher meaning with the secular profane? Where instead of papal authority or God-guided monarchy we have a post-modern religion with its occult high priests in the shadows, its NGOs, its public persona of celebrities and politicians, its idol worship/fetish of devices. And underlying that profanity, could it not be Evil itself?
In other words, don't we already have a world religion, albeit subverted and corrupt?
I suggest the entire reason of the hyperreal is to gradually dislocate us not just from physical reality but from our bodies - to have us as captured consciousness enslaved in a digital Matrix where we experience life as a fully-controlled and curated hyperrreality, a synthetic 'sacred' space. While the occult priesthood and their chosen ones have the world and all its bounty to themselves.
That seems to be the trajectory to me, what with the Bio-Digital Convergence and the Internet of Bodies and walking around seeing most people with their heads in a screen.
I'm glad it did. Purpose is mostly pride and vanity I think, but it's good if it can be useful as well.
Yeah, I think you're exactly right about everything you say here. The global capitalist order has replaced robust meaning with the spectacle, for sure. But I think what's happening now is that this structure is potentially being imbued with a potentially much more powerful idol than anything we have seen before -- a seemingly omniscient oracle, experienced and marketed as a higher form of consciousness that is also uniquely tailored to every single individual human being through the digital surveillance apparatus, making traditional propaganda seem like child's play in comparison.
We had both mentioned this "omniscient oracle" a few years back. I don't think the marketing has ever been shy about that's exactly where it's leading.
Thanks, Johan. I would disagree with your take on purpose, though. I see purpose, if imbibed with higher meaning, as the Earthly destiny of the soul. It's marketed and framed in our postmodern world as a function of ego, which is where pride and vanity come in.
In terms of the powerful idol, artificial intelligence with the emphasis on artificial, yes absolutely. The gullible will fall for it, as they do most things. Our collective journey to is to awaken from the lies and deception. It's not for everyone.
When I see what these so called geniuses claim and fail to accomplish, I'm reminded of Ian McGilchrist's book The Matter with Things. He explains how being left hemisphere biased leads to a lack of seeing reality as a whole but obsesses over the parts, like a machine.
The YouTube video creeped me out with the very first sentence, I just can't do it. Otherwise I enjoyed reading this article so very much.
It's long been my impression that the printed word is also some form of idolatry so the way you seque from the printing press toward AI really hits.
Also, reading the comment about white psychosis almost pisses me off. I hate bringing up whiteness as a form of psychosis but what do you think about that? I'm an hour or so late for work so I don't have time to think about being crazy right now.
Psychosis of whitness, man, collective calcification of the pineal gland. No more melonine in the skin.
Here, just the other day, that IV drug addict, RFK and his minions:
And so this is it for the white race today -- back to Roswell and RFK, Jr., and Robert Malone of mRNA jab fame:
In a recent interview, Bob Malone outdid his usual self and made some truly bizarre statements about aliens, mentioning some visitors from the FBI to The Farm(TM), and that RFK Jr “had a briefing” and all of it is real. Reminder, this conspiracy nut is in charge of what gets injected into your children and grandchildren. God help us all!
Clip from a recent Bob Malone interview, courtesy of Sense Receptor on X:
Bob Malone: "[RFK Jr.] had a briefing... all of this stuff is true. Roswell... the reverse engineering... Whether they're time travelers and they're humans... or they're from another dimension... apparently it's real." This clip of Malone is taken from an interview with Tommy Carrigan posted to the Tommy's Podcast Rumble channel on July 27, 2025.
-----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------
"The other day I had two FBI agents come to the Farm. Oh, yeah. To interview me about, what I'd experienced during, the censorship and defamation and all that during COVID That's why. Because they. They were launching an investigation about the people that were doing this kind of stuff, including within the federal government.
"And as they were going out the door, we had our, The woman, Justine. That is our kind of our. Our special, person within Malone news that focuses on UAPs. And, so she was there and she couldn't. She just couldn't help herself. She asked, do you know anything about, the UAPs? And one of them piped up and said, in the investigation. She said, well, I can't talk about it because I'm actively involved in supporting those investigations. But I can tell you that a lot more activity is happening now. That's data point number one, and that they're real.
"Okay, data point number two. I'm talking to my friend and, mentioned this, while we're on the boat, and he says, oh, Bobby had a briefing. And, all of this stuff is true. Roswell, all those things. The reverse engineering, the, origin of, the night vision. Whole bunch of this tech comes out of reverse engineering, recovered material. And, So stay tuned on that. It sounds like, there is absolutely there, there. "And, we can look forward to. As you're talking about the future, we can look forward to, learning a lot more about what the heck is going on with these. Whether they're time travelers and their humans coming back, or they're from another dimension or they're whatever, fill in the blank. But apparently it's real."
Before you dismiss dear Bob as a crank who fell off his tractor too many times, wait for 2 minutes…
You may have noticed a lot of propaganda about aliens in the news lately. Yes, again. These headlines get recycled periodically, just like “OMG! scary engineered GOF viruses mutating in labs” headlines. Maybe it’s the slow news cycle, or maybe it’s something else.
Look, news from Harvard astronomers of all places!
A Harvard scientist, who believes he's seen proof of alien life before, suspects this object may instead have alien origins.
Professor Avi Loeb said there are clear signs that the comet known as "3I/ATLAS" could be an alien craft.
"We should put all possibilities on the table that it's a rock, a comet, or something else until we get the evidence, the data that will tell us what it is," Loeb said in an interview with WBZ-TV.
Professor Loeb and his team say the interstellar object is on an extremely unusual course for a comet, one that will take it close Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
Loeb said the object appears to be "intelligently" directed and if it is alien, the world should prepare.

Yep -- Check it out: Got to get that white man's religion out of the mix!
It's the most sacred place on earth, the birthplace of the Lakota that has shaped thought, identity and philosophy for the Očéti Šakówiŋ since time immemorial, the life-giving land known as the Black Hills. Yet with the arrival of the first Europeans in 1492, the sacred land has been the site of conflict between the people it has nurtured, and the settler state seeking to exploit and redefine it in its own image. This documentary is a searing testament to the strength of the Oyate and a visually stunning rejoinder to the distorted image of a people long shaped by Hollywood. "Lakota Nation vs. United States" is a lyrical and provocative testament to a land and a people who've survived removal, exploitation and genocide, and whose best days are yet to come.
Tens of millions of indigenous peoples inhabited North America, and governed their complex societies, long before European governments sent explorers to seize lands and resources from the continent and its inhabitants. These foreign European governments interacted with tribes in diplomacy, commerce, culture, and war, acknowledging Indigenous systems of social, cultural, economic, and political governance. Tribal nations have remained as political powers from the colonial period until today, engaging in commerce, trade, cultural exchange, and inspiring the principles of freedom and democracy enshrined in the US Constitution. As the United States formed a union, the founders acknowledged the sovereignty of tribal nations, alongside states, foreign nations, and the federal government in the US Constitution. Rooted in deep traditions and distinct ways of life, tribal nations are defined by Indigenous peoples, places, cultures, and governance.
When European settlers came to America, they dealt with tribes as sovereign nations. Exchanges of land and guarantees of peace were handled by treaty, and since then, hundreds of treaties between tribal nations and the United States have been negotiated by the President and ratified by two-thirds of the Senate. From 1778 to 1871, the federal government entered more than 370 treaties with various Indian tribes. Indian treaties have the same status as treaties with foreign nations, and because they are made under the US Constitution and are the supreme law of the land, they take precedence over any conflicting state law. These contracts represent an exchange and acknowledgement of certain rights, not a grant of rights, already held by tribal governments and peoples.
Tatanka Ptchela (Short Bull) was an active witness to the conflict between the two nations in the mid and late nineteenth century. He refused to sign the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty and lived his life resisting the encroachment of Lakota lands. Five generations later the Oglala Tetonowan Oyate, and the Oglala Sioux Tribe, tries to get the Black Hills back. From the humblest of dreams, to the dedicated government-to-government conversations, it is time to tell the story of America’s longest running failure to do the right thing. While this history isn’t familiar to a majority of Americans, these landscapes certainly are. This rang true as our crew traveled through and around the Black Hills region on what felt like a surreal family vacation. Filming alongside tourists at sites like Mount Rushmore, the difference in these perspectives is consistently jarring. The systematic extermination of the American buffalo is now a 'Buffalo Hunt' roller-coaster adjacent to the set of "Dances With Wolves." From the outset of this project we feel a weight to visually represent the Black Hills as sacred and holy rather than a backdrop. The documentary uses the Sistine Chapel as a metaphor. In this way the visual approach often becomes shortened to film nature like a church.
Artificial hyper reality seems to be expressed in the image of a Black Cube, a monolith, a black data center spanning miles and miles capable of vast computing power. The Kaaba and the Tefillin are black cubes, and so is the iPhone and the TV, all systems of “false light”. Things which receive an input and then provide an output according to unknown variables are referred to as “black boxes”. I don’t know what this means, and frankly it is all beyond me, but I know it means something.
