The Spiritual Fear Of Losing Control

Christianity is an inherently sexual religion. Humanity’s material reality as male & female is a microcosm of humanity’s spiritual reality vis a vis God. What has been called the Red Pill has been the independent rediscovery of 1. how men & women should relate to each other, and 2. how they actually relate to each other, resulting in 3. an unintended proof that humanity is flawed in a way that evolution cannot begin to explain. The good that we should do, we don’t want to do it.

A non-Biblical approach Christian theology, therefore, is to map human sexuality onto the divine-mortal relationship. This must be cross-checked against Scripture, of course, and should not be done crudely. An example would be the female need to learn how to trust & obey a husband, analogous to the human need to learn how to trust & obey God. Much worry and desperation in Current Year come from the mistaken belief that humans, not God, are responsible for worldly events and outcomes.

We play our part in worldly events, of course, and wives are major participants in her marriage, of course, but wifey seizing “will to power” from her husband is rarely a positive development.

Meanwhile, I’ve been watching materialists debate themselves insane over AI. Half of them love it, half of them fear it, all of them accept the inevitability of it. I deny that inevitability. I see AI as the overhyped media tool that it is, like Tucker Carlson, and humanity is surviving Tucker just fine.

Epiphany: AI represents the human urge to seize control of reality.

It’s not the first such effort. In fact, most paganism was just such an attempt at controlling reality. You sacrifice a goat and Vishnu sends rain upon your crops. Appease the sun god or risk a plague.

Humanity has never been comfortable accepting what God gives. To an extent that is maturity, just as a couple must both put effort into their relationship, but it seems to me that the primary temptation of the old gods was granting us control over our circumstances beyond the means God provided. (Those means were often not sufficient, else the temptation to seek alternatives-to-God would not exist.)

As technology developed, we gained the ability to better control our environment. This was an early step in Babylon’s history, actually. I understand ancient Shinar was a great flood plain. That provided unusually rich soil but at the cost of flooding; much like the Egyptian Nile River. Babylonian agriculture had to develop elaborate irrigation methods in order to have a city.

Was part of Original Babylon’s rejection of God, its use of technology to control Nature? Perhaps not the use of tech so much as… faith in tech? Humanity had just been through that whole “world flood” thing, after all.

The Old Gods got squished as time went on. The real gods were destroyed by Father God, apparently; there are no more Nephilim being sired, rather the opposite as I stare at the midgets of Clown World; but the fake Old Gods, they were merely human attempts at controlling the material world.

Some of the godlessness in Current Year is surely attributable to humans using technology to solve natural-world problems. We don’t need you anymore, Vishnu. We can see disasters coming on radar from a week away, with our own solutions!

But now a new god has been built, artificial intelligence. A fake god, to be sure… we see you behind the curtain, Paypal Mafia… but one that promises to bring all of reality under human control. Some men think the new god will be nice and other men think it’ll be naughty, but all of them have the unconscious acceptance of AI as humanity’s ultimate conquest of the natural world.

The promise and the fear is all about human control of the natural world. One wonders how much of human religion has ALWAYS been about human control of the natural world.

I’d like to say that I wholly reject AI just because I’m not stupid, but perhaps that rejection is possible only because my first loyalty is not to Nature, but Nature’s God.

Will AI thwart me from being able to control my life? Absolutely. It is clearly intended to be the centerpiece of a panopticon surveillance state tasked to enslave humanity by monopoly over information generally and money specifically. I have no idea how to survive that. No plan, no clue. I am helpless before Skynet.

Yet strangely, I don’t feel helpless.

I know the techno-enslavement of humanity is not being driven by men or devils, but by Father God gathering His enemies for a final showdown. Or at least, I have faith in that. I trust God with the outcomes of all things beyond my reasonable level of ability. The godless cannot do that. Maybe that’s why they adopted the old gods then adopted the Enlightenment. Maybe God allowed tech to rapidly advance only because He grew weary of pagan pretenses.

I should feel helpless because I’m not in control, yet I don’t because God is in control, and I trust that God values me. That trust is beginning to require active effort… but isn’t that exactly why women blow up their own homes? Because she refuses to maintain trust in her husband during times of hardship? She’s afraid to not have control and won’t accept that her husband still loves her.

No temptation faces us, but what is common to man.

AI is paving the way for a worldly god to exercise total control over the material world whether the people trust it or not. The unbelievers of humanity think that’s endgame because there is nothing outside the material world. How can anything happen that the world repository of !science! cannot anticipate and thwart?

*snicker*

Answer is, the first Tower of Babylon wasn’t defeated by a material-world event either, now was it? Their language model got supernaturally wrecked. The materialists were in control until the truth came out, that they’d never been in control.

Perhaps the most difficult command that God ever gave Man is, “trust me”.
