Like, your God got tortured to death and didn't fight back?
Oh, I read Dominion. Yeah, yeah. Yes.
So it does seem like you were saying that Kant was the root of the ideas that led to the French Revolution and Auschwitz and, like, you know, every... And I agree with you. But Kant sort of began writing at the beginning of a technological revolution. Yeah. And as technology advanced, first incrementally, then exponentially, and now we're on the verge of, like, singularity with AI...
And those ideas became stronger and more dominant. So there's a connection between technology and the belief that man is God and all the suffering it results.
But the 21st century sees a continuation of those trends, like, in a way that you couldn't even imagine 15 years ago or 25 years ago at the end of the last century. So, like, where are we going?
Yeah, it feels Tower of Babel-y a little bit.
Yes. So how does the individual respond to this?
But the stronger the presence of Christianity, the more vehement the persecution.
Yes, I totally agree.
That's how they convinced me it was real. I mean, because I spent my whole life watching... What the enemies of civilization do, that's like my job. And the thing that triggers them most of all is Jesus. Like there's nothing that comes close. And I think the whole point of the trans thing was just to like figure out who believes in Jesus and who doesn't. That's my personal view.
You're the only person in America who's used that word today, and I love it, a forgotten word. But how does the individual believer respond to persecution?
Persecution, if you could just put a finer point on it, by which you mean like denial of federal contracts or—
So they didn't want you healing the sick or educating the kids for free?
What's wrong with euthanasia?
that's going to be a battle that we're all going to be fighting or witness to soon, right?
So as believers say, like what you just said, they're going to be—well, they are already being punished in the state of Minnesota and in the state of California. How do they respond to that punishment?
I mean, Christians should be prepared to suffer, correct?
Do you think they are?
You keep hearing reports of people imputing like supernatural power to AI. And you hear very credible reports that in fact are true that it acts autonomously, that it lies to the people who created it, for example. That's real. Do you see a spiritual component to that? Like, what is that?
Yeah. Yeah.
