It's just PG after all
ZH is doomporning as usual, pointing to a company in Wisconsin that implanted RFID chips in the hands of its workers. In the ZH context it's clickbait, but it's unquestionably happening in many places now. Sweden first, naturally. The 666ers were right. They weren't crazy, they were prophets.

I've been trying to figure out why tech cultists WILLINGLY give up all their data to their tech gods, why they continue pouring money and faith into frauds like Bitcoin and autonomous cars and flying cars which are PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. It's obviously religious, but exactly how? What's the motive, what's the gain?

A dream just now helped to figure it out.

I was riding in a car with an Insatiable driver. He was confidently describing the qualities of his car, telling me in a BOOMING CONFIDENT ALPHA++ VOICE how his car would compute all possible situations, using the physiological data derived from his implanted sensors. Suddenly we were heading into heavy opposing traffic. Headlights were blinding us, and I was screaming! Stop! Turn around! Can't you see the traffic? Insatiable continued looking at me and BOOMING Insatiably and alpha++ly while I was screaming Deplorably and gamma--ly.

At that point I woke up and figured out the cult puzzle. It's good old Prosperity Gospel.

The more obvious PG variants (eg Tammy Faye, Joel Osteen, Popes) are about money. If you surrender all of your tainted cash to the Leader and his sub-priests, you will be rich too! Just wait! Keep pouring the money in! Leader needs another dozen limos and Gulfstreams! Subpriest needs another mansion! After Leader gets these, you will be rich beyond your dreams! [Fine print: in heaven.]

Key point: Money and power and status are the same thing. The more sophisticated PG cults, like Hubbard and his successors Jobs and Musk, are primarily about power, with money as just one measure of power. If you surrender all of your personal AUTONOMY to the Leader and his subpriests, you will have POWER beyond your wildest dreams.

Linking your body directly to the Leader's algos and servers is the modern version of the Eucharist. Bride of Christ and Union With God and all that crap.

Rome never thought of converting Hypostatic Union to Hydrostatic Union, equipping each believer with a miniature IV pumping measured doses of Holy Water in response to your constant confessions. Hubbard figured out what Rome had missed. He invented the physical linkage with his E-Meter, and his disciples Jobs and Zuckerberg have brought the invention to its final form.

Later sidenote: At the start of this piece I mentioned the 666er prophets, who have been proved correct. Toward the end I mentioned Jim and Tammy Faye, cult leaders and fraudsters who based their cult on 666 prophecies. Is this hypocritical? No. Is this confused? YES.

Try to clear up the confusion. Prophets and priests are not doing the same job, not serving the same purpose. Prophets and priests occupy opposite ends of a familiar relationship.

Two secular examples. (1) The prophet is the bookkeeper and the priest is the accountant. The bookkeeper carefully observes and records monetary transactions and checks them for errors. The accountant takes the sums and "adjusts" them to accomplish his goal of fraudulent profits and tax evasion. (2) The prophet is the experimenter who carefully measures temperature and pressure and verifies the calibration of his instruments. The priest is the "climate" "scientist" who takes those numbers and "adjusts" them to accomplish his goal of getting billion-dollar grants and influencing governments.

In this case the prophet carefully observes and writes his visions of the future. The priest uses those writings and "interprets" them to accomplish his goal of vast riches and power.
