The AI Question And Why We Are Losing The Cultural War

Should you use AI as a Christian man?

Traditionally-minded men are being very vocal against the use of AI and other new technologies such as virtual reality devices and the like. When you look around at the rate at which technology is advancing, it definitely feels like a dystopian nightmare world will soon be upon us. People are dropping all efforts to build within the physical world, to experience reality, and opting to take the easy route, looking at the virtual world as a very alluring and yet dangerous alternative to find some sense of purpose and achievement.

I Understand the Revulsion

Believe me, nobody dislikes the dystopian grip of technology as much as I do. I wish we could just revert and realize we have been taking it way too far. Yes, yes, some will argue that we are economically better off in general, but what are we giving up in the process?

Is our mental health worth the flatscreen tvs we now can afford?

Is the insanely high rate of male suicide worth the skyscrapers we’ve built?

I’m not going to try and argue that our time is —in general terms— worse than earlier times. I have no idea. I’ve only been alive in this era. But I look around and it’s clearly not ideal how we’re living. Anyone with eyes can see that. And it’s worth thinking about: just because we can keep bringing about crazy technological developments, does it mean we should?

We have become so obsessed with “progress” that we don’t stop to consider the larger implications of the technology we’re building. And what’s worse, we track such “progress” using arbitrary measures like GDP and whatever other economic metrics that don’t necessarily correlate to actual well-being. GDP growing is great and all, but with millions of babies being killed in the womb and this number rising every year, are we really moving forward?

So yeah, I get you. I understand the disgust you feel when you look around and see men, women, and kids living exclusively through their phones, when you watch some “man” wear a VR headset and flap around his arms in fantasy land, oblivious to how ridiculous and idiotic he looks in the real world.

But we need to realize there is no going back. Technology is here and it’s here to stay, whether we like it or not.

Use The Tools Or Let The Devil Use Them

Once we accept the fact that the technology that so repels us is here to stay, we can take a more calculated approach to it and see it for what it is, fundamentally. And that is a tool that is usually amoral.

And just a little caveat here, some technologies are definitely demonic. The AI girlfriend trend, the onlyfans AI models, etc. Many more too. Maybe AI as a whole is demonic. I don’t know. Only you can choose which ones are demonic by their very conception and which ones are just amoral tools to be used to reflect the user’s heart and values. I’m trying to make a bigger point here, not pick and choose and specify which technologies you should or shouldn’t use.

In general though, I think technology is morally neutral. Just a tool that you can use to aid you in your intentions, whether they be pure or impure.

And here is where the problem arises. We see technology advancing quickly, and in our longing for a more natural and traditional world, we outright refuse to use it, thinking this to be a righteous act of rebellion.

But what is really happening when you are rejecting the use of any and all technological advancement is that you are surrendering some of the most powerful tools and weapons in this cultural war into the hands of immoral, satanic, perverted men who will use and abuse them to gain an edge.

If your moral code leads you to give all the power to the people that will cause the most evil and pain imaginable, is it really right?

If men of God refuse to fight the cultural and spiritual war, godless men will win it. Technology is here to stay, and someone will use it. Whoever does will have an edge. Whoever learns how to use it without being consumed by it will be able to spread their message farther and wider than those who don’t. The cultural war will be way more difficult to win if we handicap ourselves and shoot ourselves in the foot by willfully diminishing our influence.

Meet Them Where They Are

Look, people will use technology. We have to pick our battles. And unless somebody goes full uncle Ted and destroys the entire system, technology is here to stay, and fighting against that fact is a losing battle. So a better one would be to try and save young men, women, and children from being brainwashed and manipulated by satanic globalists and meet them where they are to show them a different message.

A better battle is to actually fight this bloody cultural war, learn how to use the amoral tools that technology offers to create art, to spread it far and wide, to show the millions of people who will never stop using technology that there is a better way than the one the mainstream media pushes so heavily.

We can’t keep surrendering power to people who clearly have no interest in the well-being of society at large, much less the individuals that are part of it. Refusing to use technology, when you would probably be using it for good, feels too much like abandoning the fight. It feels too much like complaining about the state of the world without taking action to fix things.

I think you should learn to use technology, and then learn to use it wisely so that it doesn’t consume you or lead you astray. But imagine if we could make a collective effort big enough so that young men scrolling TikTok would stop seeing exclusively thirst traps and mind-numbing content and find quality content that inspires, motivates them, and makes them think differently. Wouldn’t that be worth us sacrificing our desire to disregard any and all technologies to try and help more people find their way?

You can use technology without it using you, and if you learn to do it correctly, you might, ironically, even save young minds from the addiction, depression, and mind-control that so often come with excessive use of technology.

I think that is a worthy battle to fight.
