So you think you need religion to understand/accept that there are evil forces in play here?
The Vox Day thread

I believe the answer is simple and I realized it as a child many years years ago when an old woman was speaking about death. She said:
"If people didn't die, then the powerful and rich would rule forever."
What do people think the demons are promising them? Eternal life, rule over the earth (possibly parts of the universe), and having God's true believers as slaves.
Modern technology, hallucinogens, personalized medicine, and transhumanism is aimed at convincing people they can one day live in this body forever. It's a completely seductive idea to many especially the elites.
How they fall for this trap is beyond me.

If nothing else.
Biblical text heightens one's perspective beyond & above the mere here & now.
Whether it is contemplation of an afterlife.
Contemplation of the Spritual Realm.
Contemplation of morals, actions & consequence.
Or contemplation of sinister forces toying with & corrupting mankind.
I like Vox Day. His work, The Irrational Atheist, helped me weather the New Atheist storm back in the mid-2000s. Anyone who could use some encouragement in his/her faith might want to read it here (free of charge): http://www.milobookclub.com/mart/TIA_free.pdf

I really don't get the excitement Scott Adams.
He's not demonstrated himself to be in our side and is an opportunist. I believe he described himself as on the left of Bernie.
The Ukraine conflict is the best thing to happen to Vox Day in years. Reading some of his recent posts, it's like the old Vox of 10-15 years ago. He knows military, tactics, and geopolitical stuff, so he finally has the chance to write about areas of expertise again instead of just calling people gamma all day. Of course the content is largely stuff you already know if you've been following the threads here but hey, I'll give credit where it's due.

Hes bounced back pretty good from his cringey Owen Benjamin shenanigans of 2019
Scott Adams melt down was epic

hes basically the evil liberal mirror of Vox
Adams is the quintessential big city boomercon, he's from NY/Berkeley. He had an interesting perspective on the hollowness and shortcomings of the corporate world that he channeled through Dilbert, but he's a spiritually hollow man imbued with American neoliberal materialism.
I still read him daily but we can’t forget Q Anon.
Agree, can't forget the Q Anon crap retardation and how he still works with Owen Benjamin. However, like Hermetic Seal(sorry, don't know how to @ your profile) stated, he is absolutely at his finest in this arena. He can't help himself to the gamma attacks still, but well worth dealing with one retarded posting for all the excellent posts between. This is his time to redeem himself and he clearly has.

What is the TL; DR on Scott Adams swearing (at Vox?) so much? He is usually a pretty level headed guy.
He refuses to admit he was wrong on the vax. Calls himself the best "predictor" and vox went through his predictions point by point.
Scott Adams Melts Down - Vox Popoli
Scott Adams goes full Gamma and it is glorious. Compare my actual Covid prediction record (the best in the nation): http://shorturl.at/dotC3 with the interpretation below and spot the cognitive dissonance tells. It’s weirdly fascinating to see how easily people hallucinate entirely different...

Vox knows military tactics?
No. Not really. Not that It's in my wheelhouse to try to brag on this one, but I'm fairly certain I know more than him because I was an officer in a manuever/combat branch of the military with ops planning experience.
What he does do is link to some people who actually do know how that works.

Is that a claim you can substantiate on any basis other than credentialism?
