So it's clearly something poisonous, but then it gets weirdly associated with the idea of Lucifer, right? Which is a very strange leap. The leap is something like, what's the most poisonous of all possible serpents, right? So then it becomes a meta principle. And it looks to me like it's something like the drive to power.

And that fits well with the notion that, well, Marx would be on top of the communists and Hitler would be on top of the Nazis and Mussolini would be top of the Italian fascists. So if the... belief system is pressed into the service of the hierarchical status of its originators, then there tends to be something profoundly Luciferian behind it.

And the cardinal sin of Lucifer is pride. Is pride. Right. And the desire to replace God, to replace the fundamental moral order. So, I figured something else out too recently. So, imagine that you could found a society on power, because you can, at least for a short period of time. And imagine that you could organize a group of people hedonistically as well.

So that would be the real dark side of populism, right? We'll just have the government give people, it's like Pleasure Island in the Pinocchio video, right? Bread and circuses. You can get away with that for a while. Power. hedonism. You can abandon everything and sink into a pit of nihilism. That's not very effective psychologically or socially.

But that begs the question that the postmodernists wrecked their ship on, I would say. Is there a unifying principle, a high-order unifying principle? That's the metanarrative idea, right? Because the cardinal proclamation of postmodernism is that there's no pinnacle metanarrative. There's no upper union. But I think that's wrong.

I think that the principle of voluntary self-sacrifice is foundational. And I think that's the narrative that runs through the biblical course.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, and so... then we would have a dynamic where one, because we're trying to figure out how to identify the Luciferian players, let's say. That seems reasonable, right? So they're in love with the creations of their own intellect, but that intellect is not serving the principle of voluntary self-sacrifice. It's serving the principle of power.
