A lot of people, even those who know this wasnโt technically an illegal act, have a hard time swallowing the idea that the situation itself happened. So to separate oneself from the feeling of oneโs home country being the โgood guyโ they try to declare illegality. Same w. โeven Nazis rescuedโ line.

Would it also raise the question of whether Venezuela was done first because of the known impacts with Iran. Pure speculative theory, but with some points of merit. If the slow caused by Hormuz pausing could be plugged by SoAm production (unlikely) then they would seem, I suppose, less chaotic.

Every time one of these freaks goes "guys I think our AI just gained sentience?!" they're saying very clearly just how ok they are with slaves, how little moral consideration they give to other actual humans.

The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.
And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.
They're slavers.

It is about this that it says, "A man's foolishness corrupts his way, and his heart rages against God."458
โข And, as it would appear from the Zohar this would also be considered to be a sin for him, 459 as it is the way of supernal bestowals to bestow, and it is not fitting to interrupt and stop them, like "there were no more containers and the oil stopped."460
โข It is similarly stated about this Type of Providence, "and Yaakov said to his sons, why do you make yourselves conspicuous?

โข It is similarly the case with several issues that bestow good on a person from above that the person pushes them aside from him, such as "cold and heat, 463 that out of the poor use of his free choice, he pushes aside good health and causes illness.
โข This is (however) except for if the pushing aside lof the besoa, is for the sake of serving God, such as getting up early to go to the prayer house, etc., as this is permitted for him

IIRC, Set and Baโal sort of intertwine oddly between the Egyptian and Assyrian versions of some text so I could see that connection. Most of my reading was from Wallis Budgeโs work so I would need to revisit. Zoega has some translations I need to find.

I wrote a theory many years ago, when I was much deeper in the cult mindset, and tried to support it with context that if evangelicals were a religion apart from โChristianityโ it would be closer to the Cult of Set than pastoral universal Catholicism.

Even in a religious context. Romans 13; the whole thing is covered. Supported by Leviticus and Numbers discussing strangers in foreign lands being subject to rule of those lands.
