# Think on These Things > Published Feb 02 2023, last updated Feb 02 2026 > By Ryan Fleck and written without LLMs! > Original post at > An article of astonishing quality and insight. Happy Hacking! _Today we take a brief philosophical and religious look at the emergence of AI generated content and the silent corporate war for your attention._ _**Content Warning:** This essay uses a Christian frame to weigh the timeless problems of our modern age. I grew up an atheist, and grew to know God as I reckoned with the world. If Scriptural Christian views are not to your taste, I'd skip this one or proceed knowing that Scripture stands against many of the hallmarks of the modern liberal worldview._   Today we meditate on this Scripture: > Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are > honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, > whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; > if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these > things. > > -- **Philippians 4:8** KJV   Ordinary people are unaware or do not care that their minds are being watched, cultivated, categorized, pumped with fattening targeted content, and the attention of their mind harvested for money. For most, these novel hypercurated dopaminergic algorithmic wonderlands feel far too good to mount any resistance, even as severe consequences accumulate. In an age of unprecedented data collection, detailed personal digital twins, the _inevitable corruption of all human knowledge on the internet_ with AI-generated echoes of the real thing (and the subsequent public reaction and implementation of the already-prepared solution of government controlled digital identification,) _one must take a step back from the black mirrors we live through and consider why we are here; to live an abundant life in Christ._ More than ever before, we are beset on all sides by a myriad of temptations, although today we have teams of the brightest minds on Earth working to build sophisticated psychological attack models to maximize user retention and precious minutes spent within these attention consuming systems. The god of this world, Satan, is allowed to operate within this realm, catching believers and unbelievers alike in powerful digital snares like these. Churches themselves have had to adapt to be more flashy and engaging to bring the message to these fast-paced digital spaces. > Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose > heart. ²But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We > refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the > open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's > conscience in the sight of God. ³And even if our gospel is veiled, > it is veiled to those who are perishing. ⁴In their case **the god of > this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers,** to keep them > from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is > the image of God. > > -- **2 Corinthians 4:1-5** ESV These great challenges and storms should not be unexpected. Vigilance is a necessity in this fallen realm as temptation becomes more cunning, invasive, and omnipresent. > Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon > you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. > > -- **1 Peter 4:12** ESV Fundamentally, we are here to live out God's plans for us and to enjoy a beautiful and abundant life. As noted in _Ecclesiastes_, we were made to be joyful, to work, and to do good. > I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful > and to do good as long as they live; ¹³also that everyone should eat > and drink and take pleasure in all his toil -- this is God's gift to > man. > > -- **Ecclesiastes 3:12-13** KJV It must be stressed that living a good and full life does not require any interaction with media companies and public broadcasts. They are not a necessity. Media is above all else _of the world,_ and today it seems most media is only designed to trap you in a Hegelian Dialectic and limit your thinking to left-right, on-off, anti-curious thought patterns. Unlike human media, the Word of God was a gift to benefit _you._ Nations that forget to embody the goodness and grace of God are doomed to become desiccated lands of the dead, and to be raised in such a safe and strictly controlled society, with a life path algorithmically planned, bugslop measured out into little vials according to your age and weight, to be chemically castrated and a constant victim of psychological abuse is no way to live. > The wicked shall return to Sheol, > all the nations that forget God. > > -- **Psalm 9:17** ESV Amidst an ocean of trash, by keeping your whole self focused on God, on His beauty and truth, you may live out His wonderful plans for you despite the times. Whatever your external situation, through prayer and supplication, through keeping your mind on your blessings, you can subvert this system and live beyond it. **Perception and reality are interlinked,** and by dirtying your mind with worry over narratives that are only meant to MKULTRA you into behaviours beneficial to the antichrists, we can choose to lift our eyes and hearts above this soul poisoning sewage to brighten our reality.
