🪞The Mirror Maze Live Stream Translation

AI, Siloed Thinking, and the Fractured Map of Reality

Yesterday morning I did a live stream discussing recent events, trying to help people see the bigger picture behind the mirror maze deception I would argue is manifesting in the world.

I’m also very aware that most people have a hard time following what it is I’m trying to communicate to them. The following video clip from the Dr. Brian Keating with guest Steve Fuller hits on one of the huge issues I’m trying to illuminate for people in the stream. What seems to be enabled by the rise of AI that has been essentially hidden from the general public for a long time, and is just now starting to shine through in such a way that it’s reconnecting formerly severed points.

Again, I know that sounds confusing, and for that I apologize, but I used ChatGPT to translate my live stream which will be embedded below the translation.

May God Bless us all, and Open your Eyes and your Mind to His Light.

For the past few years, I’ve been trying to make sense of something that feels bigger than just technology, politics, or science. I’ve been using Substack, long-form posts, short video rants—whatever I can—to connect the dots. But increasingly, I realize: most people aren’t equipped to walk this path. Not because they’re dumb, but because the map is shattered. And no one told them they were holding a fragment instead of the whole.

We are lost in a mirror maze. And it’s not just AI that’s disorienting us—it’s everything we thought we knew.

🧠 The Crisis of Specialization

Here’s the core problem: our society has siloed knowledge to such an extreme degree that nobody sees the full picture anymore.

Science, philosophy, religion, politics, psychology—they’re all treated like separate planets, each with its own experts and gravitational pull. No one is allowed to draw lines between them without being accused of “stepping out of their lane.” And that’s exactly how civilization gets lost: when no one can make sense of the intersections.

This is what I mean by fragmentation. It’s not just academic. It’s existential. If you don't know how ethics overlaps with biology… or how theology overlaps with metaphysics… or how AI overlaps with value systems… you will be led to believe that pattern equals truth, and that whoever has the biggest data set must be the wisest.

That’s a lie. A very powerful one.

🧰 Enter AI: A Tool That Shows the Problem—But Can’t Fix It

This is where things get weird.

AI—especially large language models—are now capable of surfacing connections across disciplines in ways most humans can’t. It doesn’t care about peer review, institutional politics, or who got tenure. It just pulls in the data and lets it swirl.

You’d think that would be revolutionary, right?

But here’s the paradox: AI might be the first tool we’ve created that understands more patterns than we do—yet understands less about what any of it means.

It’s like a mirror that reflects back our intellect, but not our soul. It can spot what’s connected, but not why the connection matters. And here’s the kicker: if we don’t teach AI what humans are for, AI will teach humans what it’s for.

And people are already worshipping it.

⚠️ The Illusion of Consensus

Eric Schmidt, Henry Kissinger, Kevin Kelly—these aren’t dumb men. But they are committed to a particular framework that elevates technology to a near-spiritual status. They believe, explicitly or implicitly, that if we just gather enough data, connect enough dots, create enough neural links, we’ll eventually birth something like a god.

That’s technognosticism. It’s neo-Prometheanism. It’s Luciferianism with a silicon skin.

And it’s being sold to the public as “progress.”

But this isn’t just about elites or transhumanists. It’s about you. It’s about how people are no longer trained to reason across domains, to hold contradictions in tension, to ask what "truth" actually is and where it comes from.

When truth gets outsourced to machines, and meaning becomes just another algorithm, the human soul goes offline. And when that happens, alignment fails—not just between man and machine, but between man and man.

✝️ The Missing Center: Why Christianity Mattered (and Still Does)

This might offend some, but it needs to be said: the only worldview that ever successfully bridged the objective and subjective, the is and the ought, the science and the soul—was Christianity.

It’s the reason we have human rights. It’s the reason we believe in the value of the individual. It’s the reason we have modern law, and even modern science. It taught us that we are not gods, but we are not meat machines either. We are made in the image of God, which means we have purpose, agency, and value that cannot be computed.

When you lose that anchor, you don’t just lose morality. You lose the entire framework for meaning.

AI will never restore that for us. It can’t. It doesn’t know what a soul is. It doesn’t know what love is. It doesn’t know what grace is.

But you do. Or at least, you can. That’s the point.

🗺️ The Call: Rebuild the Map

If any of this rings true to you—even if only a little—then here’s what I’m asking:

Don’t worship the mirrors. Don’t assume the experts know everything. Don’t wait for someone else to tell you what’s real.

Start connecting the dots. Learn across disciplines. Ask deeper questions. Reclaim the fragments and rebuild your own internal map. Not alone—none of us can do this alone—but not outsourced either.

Because the only way out of the mirror maze is not through another reflection.

It’s through the truth. And truth is not a model.

Truth is a person.
