but in this case, their influence is almost greater on a day to day basis than anyone else, within certain demographics. if i talk to people about their religious path at a party, they tell me about youtubers. will be interesting to see how the actual organizations manage this.

the internet personalities thing largely exists in the same space as consultants or third party companies in the corporate world. theyre a huge net positive, and if they do something wrong, they’re not official, so it has nothing ostensibly to do with the “real” organization.

catholic internet personalities event below. also saw an LDS podcasters event. uncharted waters for modern religion. will the vatican ever excommunicate a youtuber? which religions will have official posters first? who will leave their internet presence pure wild west? a new game https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e73943820280258c44ba51f0210152b6c874aeff336804b788221624d28d817e.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7166b74de352ad4a2a58615f992306a2ec4c9cccf8903067beec7fbedb9b366d.file

theres also the main theme. an evil industrial cadre is blinding his co-ethnics so they’ll mine the bones of his ancestors and turn them into an intoxicating brew. when he escapes this factory world, he’s in an ancient landscape he’s native to but doesn’t understand. dot dot dot. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/32f4f5a063ec7520795c81b722e246b0af39984e1989e78504345bdeac803e95.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/750fa78bd77a3797014cd88afdf9dc0ebae39d9c67ad46e405332617d2b3e7b5.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/8c6841e3af675501cf32fae8d77d0afca5ea4dcf5061b11e05cda9e6a5a23bf9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/39f3bbab7b553d659e118af5de84bc093a3cde67a339f7bd1d6327ebd5e7add2.file

oddworld has a slightly inspired view into the ancient-future aesthetic that is lurking in the american spiritual psyche. organic hypertech, almost old testament vibes but too much “odd” magic - i suspect they were partially aware of this. they use the name “magog”, and so on. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7a9090b2c8819018deaee3fb38f0ddbecb8bdbe3c0fc7af1f9505389b6af19b7.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/29554b2c35dadc8b128392b36939128f519e64b930fcb82f5b9158a4b64c374b.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c4242a98931ea51ea4f8d600681060c0753dce545a63a7bd5275ca77399ba91d.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/dae7963b0e831ca6eec9fed5d3136dece8320a275a78ab4cfe148b0ea5bf32fa.file

the alternative is below. you open the door and are often hit with either extreme. in retrospect the below is something i associate with being more successful in the art world. these people usually have more money than me / more upper class vibes and do fine art. just observing: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/fb71307f22d568ef7562564231b77b8c283c5a4d8c287d7bb34a14529a959b1d.file

if you're in and out of a lot of artist's studios, the ones who produce a ton of work - their space usually looks something like this, or in this direction. a kind of organized natural chaos starts to manifest. you could draw any conclusion you want from this: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d710d1ec3d78bece5be5287b6b676cad339416bcf543492b3222f549ef983d8d.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2949fee613f1da8fbaf38a6eada70a84e00d8bff2417832f88a47669e13c4ac3.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b3d3399a1a7b8d792ed1918e9434bbfbba4a997c73b68627a5f387811bfde39c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/32471f1868760027cf1bb2423315f1a66d59583c02ccfc2e71cd161711801722.file

we're a very small number of popes away, possibly just one or two, from a pope who is native to twitter and just "posts" himself, in the true sense of "posting". this one is close.

thanks. i tried to meet them halfway with a few of them, like this one: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/eff427118643a44cf78fb1fbd042d2427d66e636037bdbd483764c480950a63d.file
