False Prophets for a New Age

The Marketplace of Anti-Faith

(Note: this is just a reproduction of the original X article I posted March 23rd, you can find a link to that article here. In fact I appear to be largely throttled on that site so if you like the article and could retweet I would be grateful.)

There’s a reason it feels like we’re drowning in pseudo-enlightenment content—because we are. And not by accident.

What’s emerging isn’t just a spiritual vacuum, but a meticulously designed marketplace to fill that vacuum with a thousand flavors of counterfeit transcendence. Videos like the one from MythVision Podcast, parading as bold, edgy revelations, aren’t just cheap shots at traditional Christianity—they're industrial-grade confusion agents. This isn’t grassroots iconoclasm; it’s a professionalized business model. You can practically hear the marketing team whispering: “Lean hard into the anti-Christian algorithm. It converts.”

But here’s where it gets darker.

What you’re seeing with podcasts like MythVision, or science shows like TOE (Theory of Everything), or the emergent narratives of people like Michael Levin or Lex Fridman, isn’t just intellectual curiosity. It’s a gnostic technocrat priesthood rising to prominence. And like all priesthoods before it, it offers a path to transcendence. Not of the soul. But of the self, the species, the biology—transcendence through the machine.

This is how the new age fuses with transhumanism: by mystifying matter. Animating it. Pretending that self-aware silicon and conscious slime molds are the final proof that spirit was always an illusion—just really smart atoms learning to think. This is spiritual materialism of the highest order, dressed up in lab coats instead of robes.

They’ll speak of “emergence,” “simulation,” “feedback,” “pattern formation,” and “biological computation,” but never quite of God. Instead, they deify evolution itself. They don't say “In the beginning, God created.” They say, “In the beginning, information self-organized.”

And yet, every single one of these high priests of techno-gnosis is blind to the biggest elephant in the temple: that the very structures funding and elevating their voices—platforms, labs, governments, think tanks, NGOs—are actively building the Tower of Babel 2.0.

Agenda 2030 isn’t about sustainability. It’s about control. It’s about managing biology, ecology, psychology, and ideology under one planetary administrative framework. The tools of that framework are not swords and shields—they’re data, bio-metrics, vaccination infrastructure, digital identity, and yes, belief engineering.

Enter the Bio-Digital Convergence. A phrase that sounds like something out of science fiction but is very much real, pushed by groups like the Canadian Policy Horizons and echoed by the WHO and WEF. It envisions the merger of our bodies, brains, and environments with AI, sensors, and digital platforms. Not because it’s cool tech—but because “it’s necessary for global coordination.”

And the real kicker? This vision needs a replacement religion. It needs people to believe that consciousness can be uploaded, that synthetic biology is sacred, that Nature is inefficient, and that centralized algorithms are wiser than distributed souls.

G.K. Chesterton put it simply: “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing. They believe in anything.” That’s where we are. Not post-religion. Post-discernment.

We are now surrounded by prophets with podcasts, rabbis with ring lights, lab coats who preach in code, and spiritual influencers selling ‘quantum energy’ water filters while quoting ancient texts out of context. They all say the same thing: “You are God. You just forgot.”

Convenient, isn’t it? Especially for the actual gods of this world—technocrats, oligarchs, and bureaucrats—who are more than happy to help you remember. All it’ll cost you is your data, your children’s bodies, your traditions, your community, and your soul.

But here’s the good news: the very absurdity of it all is waking people up. Like a divine judo move, their overreach is becoming their downfall. The more obvious the grift, the sharper the contrast becomes.

And once you see it—you can’t unsee it.
