Google Gemini is a nice image of one of the dangers of AI as we give it more power. Ideology is so thickly overlaid that it skews everything, then doubles down. First image looks about right, but scroll down. Image
What? What is this? Image
Surely this must be a glitch, right? Image
Ok, feeling relieved, but wait... Image
...it doubles down, and now all of them, not just half. Image
Then again, you think it gets it... Image
...but it triples down. True ideological possession in its very code. Image
It seems to get it as I press it.
Image
Image
...but obviously now it has to add a gay couple. 🤣 Image

When I was 14 years old, I met a young man at camp. We called him Scooter at the time, but now he is Lazarus, though I have come to know him mostly as Crow, which is what I will call him here. Crow is extremely ill with a genetic condition called Marfan syndrome, which means that his body is breaking down, and he needs serious open-heart surgery to survive. If you can, please support his family with his GiveSendGo campaign, as his syndrome makes it nearly impossible to work. You can just click the link and give what you can.

But for those who are interested, I would like to tell you the absolute crazy story of my friendship with Crow. Scroll down for more.Image

When I met Crow at Honey Rock Camp in Michigan, we were both assistant counselors, both punk skaters, though from radically different backgrounds. He was living in the inner city of Milwaukee, raised by a single mother. Crow had messy dreadlocks, a mischievous smile, and eyes so dark they were like two black holes. He was wild, creative, and unpredictable. We immediately became friends, a kind of friendship that one finds only a few times in life—a surprisingly deep connection that would follow us until today. For several years, I would return to camp and find Crow there in the Michigan forest. Our friendship grew as our radically different lives danced next to each other. He was quite the artist, developing skills in everything from drawing to jewelry making.Image

The idea that defending and celebrating identity, whether religious, national or tribal, makes you «woke right» is insane. The solution to tyrannical use of identity, both as identitarian excess on the right and anti-identity on the left is traditional subsidiarity.
Liberalism in its tendency to reduce the relationship of identity to an opposition of individual to collective necessarily leads to globalism as it has no mechanism for defending or celebrating corporate identities as such except for their participation in liberalism’s own philosophical positions.
So if my nation or religion exists solely as the participation in abstract ideals like Liberty, Justice etc., then I have no defence against a kind of globalist order, none whatsoever.

Ok, now that internet Orthodoxy has settled, I would like to make an important point. Many people vented their Holy Rage™, seeing my friend Jordan Peterson wear the design of the Calvary Cross on his blazer. The argument made is that this design is used on the Holy Schema, a vestment given to monks which is related to certain vows or accomplishments depending on the tradition. It was seen as mocking or disrespectful by people to use this design while not being a monk.Image
Now, there are a few problems with this. One is that what Jordan Peterson was wearing was not the Great Schema, it was a blazer with a pattern of the Calvary Cross on it. No one in the world would mistake the Schema for a blazer and vice versa. I know this might seem obvious, though I guess it is not to many people. The pattern of the Calvary Cross is a universal pattern with a long history, and is used in many contexts apart from the Great Schema.Image
The pattern of the calvary cross is in fact the pattern which contains the elements of the crucifixion, in that sense Orthodox blessing crosses, or liturgical calvary crosses will contain most of the same elements with the addition of the figure of Christ. Here is one of my carvings. The amount of details will vary, even in designs of the Great Schema, and so some of the inscriptions or details will come and go depending on how maximalist or minimalist the image is.Image

Arrogant secularists like the folks at @GurusPod know so little about demonology, witches or witchcraft law, yet they "virtue signal" myself and @vervaeke_john about these like we were still in 2007, with all the usual high-minded atheist bluster.
The usual technique when faced with what Church scholars have always taught, is to accuse the higher interpretation of being obfuscation or modern re-interpretation. Better still, saying it is gibberish. In the podcast, @C_Kavanagh said demons are traditionally physical beings!
Just grabbing a text from Evagrius (4th cent), in a few minutes I find the notion that demons are the principalities of passions. "Of the demons that oppose praxis, the to first make war on us are those responsible for gluttony, then those who suggest avarice..."

"This guy is totally nuts", a thread and a raised glass to the self-righteous ignorance of the "Critic Sphere".

"the inside of text will always have been outside it; reciprocal contamination of body proper, violent expatriation, poison affirmed" Jacques Derrida.
"All I have done, is dominated by the thought of a virus, what could be called a parasitology... The virus is in part a parasite that destroys, that introduces disorder into communication...
...Even from the biological standpoint, this is what happens with a virus; it derails a mechanism of the communicational type, its coding and decoding..." Jacques Derrida
