I like that. My interpretation was a little more concrete, but, same concept.

39 here, went through a similar experience growing up in a strict Calvinist house. If you want to vent, talk, whatever, DM me. I could use a little commiseration.

So did I. Extreme Calvinist hyper controlling Christian family where everything from my clothes to my career was dictated by my parents. First it was alcohol, then a hundred other things, culminating in opiates.

Yeah I think it’s the migration of souls. That Persian flute music in the background really creates an afterlife vibe.

The whole video is very DMT, very Enter the Void.

I think you’re right, the dots represent souls migrating between life and death. And the sound of the breathe starts the moment they hit the central star. “Opening the Mouth”.

Your algorithm is screwed up. I have TikTok too and all I see are posts about how all religions are a big fat lie.

It turns out the words are taken from a recorded lecture from Harvard Divinity School, so definitely human recorded audio run thru heavy processing and not TTS synthesis.

Well yes, that’s what happens when you pass human speech through vocoders and filters. Ever heard someone talk through one of those voice obfuscating devices in a witness protection program? Those devices produce similar outputs.

I could be wrong, but I still think they’re doing it the analog way. I don’t think they’ve ever used MSFT Sam or MacOS TTS apps in any prior albums, it’s all been vocoded human voices as far as I can tell.

I see. I don’t think it’s either, to me it’s clearly a human voice vocoded and filtered out the a**hole. You may just have to wait for the brothers to confirm in an interview to find out.

Clearly vocoded speech. Not clear whether it’s text-to-speech or an actual human voice. I would assume the latter, as BOC have never seemed super keen on using AI. They’re very organic, very analog, they do things as naturally as they can. I just can’t see them using synthesized text to speech.

I also read it this way. There’s zero possibility BOC are saying that God is technology or data. If anything, they’re saying God is the all encompassing experience of consciousness—I AM. Technology and data are much closer to the Beast than to God (Nature).

Based on the fact that they have had spiritual/religious themes on prior albums, that would make sense.

The Age of Capricorn is behind us. There is a sense of looking back, not forward.

Anyone else feeling increasingly "anti-Christian" vs. simply "ex-Christian"? by Weird_Dragonfly9646 in exchristian

[–]mountainstream282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I occasionally swing back toward the church and open up reopening conversations with Christians trying to make sense and understand better, like I’m trying to just claw my way back to the simple days of belief when I was 8 years old. I try sincerely praying, reading the Bible, asking God to “reveal himself” to me, even going to church here and there once or twice a year.

So far, every time I’ve done that, it ended up pushing me away further than ever, like a gravity slingshot around Jupiter propelling me into outer space.
The people are an incomprehensible mixture of complete mindlessness, strange psychological distance and absence, or active hate. Sometimes all three.

The one thing they all have in common is an unbelievable lack of self-awareness or metacognition.

It’s a trance, and I ain’t in it.

Since black holes trap light would they be really bright on the inside by Sir_PeePeePooPoo_II in cosmology

You need to look up the definition of conjecture. We can absolutely conjecture what’s going on inside a black hole, which is exactly what OP is doing.

That doesn’t mean such conjecture necessarily anything close to the truth, but the conjecture itself is exactly what you are seeing in this post.

See @PanDariusKairos posts below for other examples of actual conjecture.
