It's creepy to me how much Elon Musk resembles the false prophet described in the Bible, who will deceive people into worshipping the Antichrist. Maybe you'll think I smoked too much weed again, but please hear me out, it's creepy. A thread.

To start with, the false prophet is not some cartoonishly evil dude people suddenly worship for no clear reason. It's someone who builds a global empire on lies, because Satan is the father of lies. The false prophet will empower the Antichrist, as an inversion of the trinity.

You're explicitly warned that the anti-Christ and the false prophet will deceive many Christians. Who do you guys worship? Bill Gates? Klaus Schwab? No, those dudes may be powerful, but they don't deceive Christians into treating them as deities.

Imagine we're living in an era that revelation gives us some insight into. Who would be a good candidate to be an a false prophet? How about the richest man in the world?

The false prophet will perform false miracles and faith is always compatible with reason. If you're irrational and foolish, governed by people who play on your hopes and dreams, Elon Musk looks like a miracle-worker. But look carefully at his miracles and you'll see they're fake.

A Brazilian Butt Lift has a mortality rate of 1 in 3000. Beauty is subjective, yet it matters enough to human beings that we give our lives for it. If we consider masks to be ugly, then that can be sufficient reason not to wear them. Aesthetics matter.

Cave diving ends in death once every 3286 dives. We don't prohibit it, we let people decide for themselves whether this existentially meaningful experience is worth the risk to them. It's not the role of public health to decide which risks human beings are allowed to take.

This my friends, is the real issue to comprehend. "Masks don't work" or "lockdowns don't work" are all nice, but ultimately secondary arguments. A cabal of pencil-necked conscientious technocrats should not have the right to make these type of decisions for us.

If you go down the road of masks and lockdowns don't work/the virus is not very deadly, you're not hitting the core of the problem: They have no right to decide for us what the human experience should entail. We want freedom because we want freedom, not because of a pie chart.

"But what about seatbelts?!?" There's a difference between natural rights and legal rights. Natural rights are derived from observing nature. There are no cars in nature. What the public health class wants is to violate natural rights.
