Reading this at face value reminds me of a schizo post of how circuit boards are like the seals of Solomon, but it's so much deeper than that with actual history and tangible evidence, just remember over half of all of your interactions online are with robots and AI not people, definitely going to give this a second read when I have more time to look into it.

This is a relative of mine (disclosing this is enough of a dox so I won't say exactly how we're related), so this article hits quite close to home:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Don_Estridge

He was offered a position as the president of Apple by Steve Jobs himself, which he declined.

Academic psychedelia and techno-artifice runs deep in my family. I'm not sure how far back it goes; my grandmother told me that I am a member of the oldest continually documented family in America, having done the documentary research herself tracing us back to the the first settlers at St. Augustine. I took the name Raphael when I was baptized into the Orthodox Church last week, mainly for his role in the Book of Enoch, but also the Book of Tobit.

But anyways, great article man. I've been watching your work for a while, and I'll catch up on what you've written.

God bless.

Have you heard of the book “Liber Indigo” . I came across the youtube channel recently and he uses GUI design to flesh out esoteric concepts, this article almost rhymes with it.

It was recommended to me a few weeks ago and I watched the first video, but I didn't really follow up after that

I finished his youtube series a few days ago, and had actually been thinking about some parallels one could draw between it and your work. Would highly recommend

Months ago, I had a vision of a black void shaped like an octopus in a matrix of patterns that was sentient and hostile. I then learned about the artifex, and instantly related the two. It was the most terrifying connection that nearly made me puke in terror.

Ouch, I think my brain crashed twice while reading this. Yet we persist. A special thanks for the bit at the end. 'Because of' thinking is obsolete is gonna be one hell of a mantra to keep in my head.

God bless you, and help us all

Anyone have any ideas on how quantum computing might fit into all this?

I heard from the consumer end at least. The most experienceable thing would be near instant loading times.
