Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Christmas and the First Amendment have had a rocky relationship. When you see masses of metadata, and you know you have the means at your fingertips to create something “new” with it, the temptation is almost always too difficult to resist. People often erroneously think that the “crypto” in cryptocurrency means that information about it is somehow “cryptic” or hidden, but this is just ignorance. Do you think some topics should be banned on social platforms? The zeitgeist of modernity is certainly atheistic, but at the same time, every movement in it seems to bend like pliable reeds to the desire to create a “God” of its own design. People will soon unironically call themselves religious because they worship a created techno-god because they have been duped into believing this is what “God” always meant. In 167 B.C., the Syrian king Antiochus IV outlawed Jewish religious practices and forced Jews to adopt Greek rituals, taking control of the Holy Temple. Whose swift action kept David from taking vengeance upon her husband?

Realistic action comes at a price, or at least it did for Halle Berry on the set of “John Wick 3.” Somewhat more bizarre is that when describing it during pres for the movie, she also mentioned no one was sure how it even happened. If blockchains continue developing as they are, they will gradually record and make publicly available every transaction, action and for that matter-idle word of every human. Less and less of human life occurs without the filter, approval and overwatch of internet-connected technology. Did it ever occur to you that sometimes God must set things in order to deliver on your prayer something like bringing a reluctant player into your life? The Quran was therefore a book put together by order of the most corrupt of the early caliphs and an enemy of Mohammed. Third, as usual, Maududi captures the hard truth of verses in the Quran.

This is man’s electronic equivalent of God’s “Book of Life” which logs all truth in digital databases and blockchains. Since this is an absurd crime even against logic, we have a natural deep-seated desire to instead create a new layer of reality on which objective and undeniable truth can be restored. But in the digital world, we can arrange our new lives with inviolable programs and smart contracts that have a new enforced objectivity. If you have opinions get in touch or even better write a blog post! Still, when even a semi-competent programmer sees an interesting dataset of GPS coordinates, cell-phone metadata, Bitcoin transaction data or something else, there often arises an insatiable desire to deploy this dataset in a “clever” and “useful” way. Mankind is creator and omnipotent in this lesser reality, but our desire for power is so great that we want to elevate this lesser reality to something greater than reality itself. Worst of all, you now have a class of Jordan Petersonian “intellects” denigrating and obfuscating reality to such a degree as to make the new digital Antichrist sounds like it was what we were talking about the whole time!

As time has gone on and projects such has Ethereum have developed, blockchain technology is employing these public ledgers for an ever wide range of tasks: decentralized computing, contracting and much more… This New Age religion was a mishmash of perennialism and invented secret eastern teachings (which Blavatsky claimed to have learned in a fabricated part of her life in Tibet), with significant parallels with other universalist sects like Freemasonry. In the late 1800’s, there emerged a group of spiritualists and scammers called Theosophists, principally followers of the eccentric Helena Blavatsky. During the latter part of the 19th century an attempt was made to place comparative methodology on a systematic basis (often called the “science of religion”), and in this connection the work of the Dutch theologians Pierre Daniël Chantepie de la Saussaye (1848-1920) and Cornelis Petrus Tiele (1830-1902) was important. Population growth was rapid through the early part of the 20th century, but it declined thereafter as both the birth rate and immigration began to drop off; the proportion of young people also declined. They are all a part of French Polynesia. A combination of greed, stupidity and neophilia are leading us to disaster world that might not be able to be undone.
