Notes: chill or confession?
I recently finished ‘Confessions’ by St Augestine, and it was quite good. I highly recommend, even for non Christians. I am pagan. However, I was thinking about today’s technological society and the chill effect, which has not yet acclimated to any jargon or descriptions. Mainly because the society is barely aware of this chilling.
Today most of all, the ending of civil society is a severe change, but especially the end of free speech and net neutrality make it nearly impossible to explore one’s mind, partake in inquiry, plurality, or discussion anywhere. It might be hard to talk to people offline as well, especially as race relations break down and violence rises up as the norm. Our streets for example look like a dystopian horror sci fi movie, but its real life, and it is permanent. What I mean here, is that the end of free speech has had a chilling effect across the whole of health and society.
Now here’s my argument; if we have ended the inalienable Christ-inspired natural laws, what does this chill? And secondly, as monasticism and sacrement were invented as technique of older societies, especially as they do not exist in the New Testament but were introduced later by saints and scholars, then did this invention of technique not chill the whole of society?
The geometry I am asking about is quite simple. The Christian technique of monastic and sacramental led to the Ecumenical life of successful and more developed societies, however it most certainly chilled the Pagan life and the Satanist Zionists or the Satanic Islamics too. Quite a lot of which, I think Christian life was responding to the disgusting cultures with a creative response by invention and technique, as a way to live differently than which they considered to be fallen. Whatever placeholder this may be at any given historical period, as Christians were quite reactionary at times.
To be clear I oppose the chilling of society by way of ending the inalienable Christ inspired natural laws, such as constitutional rights like free speech. Today’s technological society worships technique, technology, and technic. They hate human beings. However, we are now experiencing a chilling effect of some kind of new overarching subordination to censorship, pre-crime AI, extreme wealth transfers to the megabanker globalist class, whereas most people are becoming serfs.

When Christianity chilled the whole of society by way of technique, things became quite communal, moralistic, dogmatic. Anyone who noticed anything or questioned anything usually ended up burnt or stoned alive. However society survived in most cases and developed. The sacramental component I would think leads to almost a dual life, especially as I read Christian literature. Confession often led people to lead secret lives, and those secret lives were double negated by confession. As a reasonable person who does not live by lies, I cannot relate to this strange and mentally challenged trap, it appears very illogical, especially as I used to know many Christian gays who were married with kids before they came out of the closet after winning rights. They actually did not seem to arrive to a better placation before or after this phase transition, not because the Christians were just so awful, but because the moral chill and moral trap of cosmopolitan men is all the same thing. There are always classes of Men (Women implied here too) who end up double negated, and double negation is always the same cessation of meaning, purpose, or value. If you live by a lie, then truth certainly is somewhere near the rung.
And Christianity is a contradictory mess since the industrial period thereafter. It is as much death as the machines or the atomization and abolition of Man.
However, today I would argue that God is (really) Dead, (as Nietzsche observed in modernity, not as a universal assertion of God), and the rise of technological society is going to negate people in far different geometry. Whom becomes negated or double negated by crime and punishment or the ending of freedoms and protections are all questions. In political economy, I might reveal that the elites simply wish to unleash technological capitalist empire beyond the limits of modern nation states, which does seem to be quite Satanic. But the logic seems to be profit, ownership, will, and progress. Humans are becoming less important.
Healthy people with a human spirit who can think for themselves, will be exterminated over the following century through exclusion and chilling of all domains of life. And in-fact, many such people may or may not be the Christ-like spirit where the ending of the inalienable is concerned, for example the ending of modern conceptions of rights like free speech.
I think appealing to conservative political or religious cultures to oppose technological society will fail. But modern political religions are already quite failed in general, irrespective of the bigger epoch. Asking a Christian not to be a technological hyper individualist capitalist psychopath mentally challenged neocon imperialists who’s eugenics society is killing everyone is laughable. For example, “The Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism” by Max Weber. Do not coddle religious people whose spirit is not present, there are none, I am not aware of any Christ-like spirits in the present historical period worldwide.
Analyzing the new technate and its logic is not as easy today, because it operates mostly through cartel governments, and takes on a degenerate or dysfunctional kind of form. We do not know our new emperor, we cannot see him. And otherwise, I would assume that technology — that demands utility, and technique — that demands “will” and “progress” to dictate the preferences of the mass. Democracy is in the way, nations of common Man, conceptions of rights or constitutions are in the way, and so on.
