More Reality and Another Bit of Trolleeing

I was listening to Greg Koukl's podcast yesterday and he had a personal take on the Bob Dylan major motion picture biopic that came out a few months ago. First of all, I'd mentioned Mr. Koukl in my latest home page piece in the context of his unwillingness to call out the Roman Catholic Church for what it really is, only because his tax-exempt non-profit relies on the ecclesiocratic hegemony and all its devout followers to fund his enterprise. Otherwise, he does do pretty decent explication of Christian things.

In this instance he pointed out how influential Dylan was on a whole generation, there in the 60s, but that the foolish idealism that exuded from that whole mentality is so destructive. He specifically noted the zealous insistence that young people were going to save the world, and then asked the important question.

"Do you know why young people will not save the world?"

At that point I instantly thought these words -- and yes, quite sadly, a very veritable Truth Rule:

It is because young people are stupid.

Sure enough, ::ding-ding-ding:: with barely a beat after thinking that, Mr. Koukl's answer to the question came through my waiting earbuds.

"It is because young people are stupid."

Ahh. Somebody understands the Truth Rule.

Go ahead call me mean and intolerant and nasty and disrespectful to our FUTURE GENERATION. Go ahead, I can take it. But I can easily pull rank on anybody who dismisses the Rule, because I know.

I've been a middle-to-high school teacher for 35 years. All grade levels, several different subjects, public and private schools, a number of them in different areas with different cultures of people populating them.

The Truth Rule is real.

This does not mean I don't like them. I love them. I love my students, and I love young people. It is why I teach. It is why I am committed to laboring like a madman to do all the heavy lifting required to be a teacher of young people. I have a deep entrenched desire to love young people with Christ's love, ministering to them with His powerfully abiding ministry, definitely.

But it all means squat if we don't acknowledge the Truth Rule.

Young people are stupid. Some are very smart and kind and giving and loving and hard-working and nice and talented and wonderful. That's not the point. They're still stupid.

And they need Christ and Kingdom and His word and His ways in the worst way.

Otherwise the demonic influences of the World will pummel them.

Oh yes adults need Him too. In fact many adults who were pummeled by the stupidity of the "freedom" 1960s are now elderly parents who taught their children that crap and yes, those children are now adults who are really just children in big people bodies and their influence on the children today -- all those populating our public and yes even the best private Christian schools -- is devastating them.

I know. Most children today ages 4-17, elementary to primary school, are ravaged by anxiety, depression, despair, dissipation, and lethal resignation. They get little bits of fun here and there with their extracurricular athletics and music and going-out-with-friends sometimes and other fun activities, but most realize none of that can truly satisfy.

All they know is the death of a World System-imbued philosophy. 

And it is ruthlessly harrowing.

So yeah, you have the System imagineers stepping up to toil and tinker with the authorized simulacra, and as I mentioned in my last blog post, it is going to be a wicked ride. It already is, with everything the Hollywood mandarins are shoving in young people's faces right now, streamed interminably through their smart phones.

But now the "AI" CGI is getting so sophisticated that it will get to the point when System Ops may just "create" charismatic influencers to keep those young people in line -- young people with no conception of the wonderful Reality that is the Kingdom. They only know the Simulacra. Baudrillard was so right -- the only System reality is the produced fakery and it is so good one can never recognize the fakery. With "AI" it will only get more gruesome.

I'd made mention of the possibility that new movie stars can be invented and promoted and showcased, but that is nothing compared to what they will be able to do making new influencers, at whatever level of influence. The Hollywood simulacrum is one thing, but what about the economic (on the line are your jobs and income) political (law enforcement and any kind of warfare that must be waged from that) commercial (what you can purchase and how you're supposed to feel about them), and definitely religious (how much they will be considered the nicest bestest spiffiest gods) -- oh wow how much the Jesuits have been successful. How much will they celebrate their successes when millions of young people are thrown onto that ever-widening greased slide to Hell.

For some time I'd been wanting to share this image because it just struck me, as a fine example of where all this is going. I'd plucked it from one of a series of videos featuring historical people made "alive" or turned into modern-day folks.

This beautiful young lady is Queen Anne. Well, it is what the "AI" generating video-making individual did to make her look like she was enjoying life today here in 2025. It is amazing how much beauty and character is exhibited in this young gal in this one "photograph," merely screenshotted from that video.

Exccccept, well, who really was Queen Anne? She was certainly a respected monarch of Great Britain in the early 18th century, but, well, she was a tragic figure who wasn't the healthiest in body or mind, mostly overwhelmed by the responsibilities of her role. She was corpulent, chronically ill, and had some dozen pregnancies that either ended in miscarriage, stillbirth, or death of children at very early ages.

But wow.

The AI can fix anything.

And it isn't just the images. System Ops will and are now using the "AI" to tighten their grip on a populace who needs the Simulacra because they refuse to know the Reality.

Teaching my own young students a Life Science class as I do, I wonder at the phenomenal creation of God in everything we study. All the life and things that are life and how they thrive and function. Amazing how God created our bodies to take in nutrition and have it go where it needs to go in the proper way without us having to tell it what to do. It just does it. It does it because

God made it that way.

I add this because Darwinian evolution is the standard belief system of World Devotees, and yes, it is tremendously stupid. It is beyond stupid, really, yet as a teacher it is almost impossible to find a good video to share with my students that gets into any life thing without someone in the video saying that categorically stupid thing:

"Evolution made it this way."

Brilliant, wonderful, spectacular images, sounds, and explanations of the way God made life, and popping right up in the middle of it all is "Evolution did that..." It is as if the narrator is doing a fine job reading the script of fine scientists and right out of nowhere, they all declare loudly to everyone,

Hey, we're all really really stupid.

It is a Truth Rule, sadly enough.

I did think, what if they just decided to not-be stupid and just say instead, "What an amazing thing God did when He created this thing or that thing..." I know why. World Ops have certainly spent the last 50 years or so making young people more stupid, but they have done so in part by convincing them if you say "God" in anything considered actually academic in nature, then you are being mean and non-inclusive and intolerant of (1) those who believe other things about God that are not what you believe, and (2) those who don't believe in God at all -- and that is the worst crime of all.

So yeah, that is the World System at work. It is what it is. The Roman Catholic Hegemony that drives it all is thriving and well-funded. Its sworn operatives are doing their jobs extremely well, and yeah, with the newest latest "AI" it will get even better...

And more young people's souls will be destroyed.

Oh my. That ungrafted worship communities would be the sanctuaries they should be to grab hold of them, grip them tightly, and share Very Real Heaven with them.

The first two images are from the film A Complete Unknown. These were commonly posted around the web. The second image was a screenshot from a video made by the Mystery Scoop people. They do have some very interesting videos, and when they clean up some of the uncanny valley elements and make it all look more real it will be both entertaining and horrifying. Greg Koukl's apologetics enterprise is Stand to Reason. Here's a recent piece that is pretty good about the reality of the stupid.
