Are these human devils summoning the spirit of the Antichrist?

EVERY AGE in human history has had its ‘chicken littles,’ people who sincerely believed that The End of the World was imminent. Obviously, they were all proven wrong, as the world is still here. However, it is also true that at some point the world — or at least the human species — will go extinct. What if that time is now? Are we modern human beings dancing on the Titanic? And what if the device on which you are reading this — along with the underlying technological wizardry that makes it possible — is part of the problem? What if all this technology has hijacked our minds, and we don’t even realize it?

I became extremely interested in the Internet while I was in college (1993–1996) and co-founded an Internet startup during the Web1.0 era, circa 1998. I was what venture capitalists, angel investors, marketers, advertisers, and technology entrepreneurs call an ‘early adopter.’ But I sensed the downside risks of Big Tech even back then, and they have been weighing on my spirit, soul, heart, and mind for two decades. They recently sent me to the edge of my sanity. Therefore, I have decided to quit the Internet and disappear for a while. To attempt to get healthy—physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually healthy. To be able to be a better, more balanced person: a better son, father, partner, friend, servant, artist, human being. Worldly pursuits and unhealthy addictions nearly destroyed my soul. They have caused irreversible damage to key personal relationships in my life.

So for now, I have decided to delete the thousands of tweets, photos, posts, and comments from my social media accounts, effectively quitting the Internet and going away. I will honor my pre-existing commitments for upcoming standup gigs and acting jobs, but besides that, my intention is to step away from all of the madness and focus on healing and recovery. Below I will explain why, though I am aware many people will likely dismiss these as the ramblings of a madman; and so I fully acknowledge that maybe I’m crazy…or maybe I’m right…
