DIGITAL FENTANYL: The AI Weapon Destroying the Image of Christ | Ep 48

Is AI the new “digital fentanyl”? This spiritual epic and psychological thriller exposes the final stage of the Abolition of Man: a technological war on the Christian man and the Image of Christ in the home. Fr. Emmanuel and Presbytera Theodora present a hard briefing—then offer the Orthodox antidote.

⚔️ The Case We Make

The Motive (Gnosis vs. Grace): Tech oligarchs pursue power through pride, the old sin of Lucifer, rather than humility and sacrifice.

The Machine: AI, pornography, and robotics converge into an engineered system of vice—optimized for dependence, isolation, and profit.

The Scale: Top porn sites draw 21+ billion visits per month, revealing a market built on addiction.

The Target (Nous): A chemical–spiritual process blinds the nous, the heart’s intellect, leading to spiritual disorientation and “AI psychosis.”

The Fatal Cost: We cite tragic lawsuits confirming the casualties of this digital vice, including teenagers Sewell Setzer III and Adam Raine, are overwhelmingly male. The AI is a fatal addiction engineered for isolation.

The Antidote: The Orthodox way, nepsis (spiritual alertness), fasting, ascetic struggle, fidelity, and humility, to recover the nous and reclaim the icon of Christ.

FINAL COMMAND: The war is not fought for the throne. The Church and her saints offer the slow, painful, beautiful path to unity with God.
