> Douthat: But we’re not living under the Antichrist right now.

<LarryDavidVoice> Ehhhhh … </LarryDavidVoice>

Technology in the 1960s: We did it! We finally manufactured the first oral Polio vaccine, humankind will no longer suffer at the auspices of unjust biology.

Technology in the 2020s: What irks me about the Antichrist is that it's too deeply mired in magical heuristics, not enough Gog and Magog, if you catch my drift. This is why I need you to invest in my killer drone company. Okay?

Are you saying: if there is no god, why do anything for someone else?

If so, I respectfully but completely disagree.

What it is doesn't matter. It can be god, kids, country, lover, work, whatever. Click Sessions - lecture 1 & 2 (the Ring of Gyges parts) cover it - https://oyc.yale.edu/philosophy/phil-181

Will take a look. Thank you.
