The Secret Religion of Silicon Valley (Ancient Myths & AI)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtEidzV5nNE

"Ever heard of the Enuma Elish? It’s this ancient Babylonian myth where the gods got tired of working, so they created humans to be their slave class. Sound familiar?"

"In this video, I’m exploring how Silicon Valley is basically reenacting this exact same story right now. Except this time, we want to be the gods, and AI is the new slave class."

"I dive into the difference between being made in the "Image of God" vs. the "Image of Man" (Imago Hominis), and why that distinction matters more than ever. We aren't building a god; we are building a mirror—and the reflection isn't always pretty."

@octade@soc.octade.net avatar octade , to random

Christian Nationalism is a ruse to eliminate separation of church and state.

While everyone is distracted by the scripted ICE theater the counter-reformation unification of Roman Church and state proceeds stealthily. Rome's agents are slowly converting America to the Imperial Roman religion. This is the true goal of so-called 'Christian Nationalism': the forcible conversion of America to Roman imperial Christianity, a la Constantine and Justinian.

From his bully pulpit the President is proclaiming Imperial Roman religion about their Roman moon goddess Mary, also known as Minerva, Venus, Easter, Astarte, Semiramis, and Isis.

Presidential Message on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception

"In her honor, and on a day so special to our Catholic citizens, we remember the sacred words that have brought aid, comfort, and support to generations of American believers in times of need: Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."

"I spent a chunk of my life from 2005 till 2024 hoping that the shit that is happening right now in Minneapolis/St Paul wouldn’t happen. But it has. Along with many fellow compatriots, we crossed the country, wrote books and articles, did tv and podcasts to warn people that the marriage of Republicans, Evangelicals, and Right-wing Catholics would take this country over, and fundamentally change it."

This Republican Government and those who support it are bereft of sanity, morality and compassion. In the quest to establish a 1950’s nostalgia white ethnostate, we have an administration who lies so much that they can’t keep their lies straight."

Me: An ICE field director is a pastor. A wafer-thin veil of love & kindness over a soul filled with hate, bigotry, and hypocrisy. Christianity in a nutshell.
