[United States] - The Apocalyptic Self Governs From a Phantom of the End, Proving the Illusion of Rational Leadership

Event Baseline: Vice President Vance recently discussed with a Christian podcast host whether the end of the world was near. A friend told the BBC that such Antichrist comments are a 'common belief'.

The end of the world. The Antichrist. These are not policy briefings. They are hallucinations from a two-thousand-year-old text. The self holds power and speaks of demons. This is the operating system of belief. It does not see a world of causes and effects. It sees a cosmic drama. The self is the protagonist. The other is the enemy of the script. When a man with nuclear codes talks about the apocalypse, the system is malfunctioning. The mind is not in the present. It is lost in a story of final judgment. That story demands violence. It demands the end. The self will seek to fulfill its own prophecy.
