Sol Luckman
“The inorganic intelligence calling the shots in this place uses people’s own powerfully creative psyches to generate an energy farm (which we rather cavalierly call the world) to sustain … itself!

Truly, the masses—like thrashing, masochistic puppets controlled from above by emotional strings—are living in a hell of their own largely unconscious making.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

Sol Luckman
“The Artificial Intelligence. This is another term for the Archontic hive mind. It is a binary operating system that imitates the many shades of gray characteristic of human intelligence—only to end up a circumscribed parody of it that processes everything strictly in terms of black and white.”
― Sol Luckman, Cali the Destroyer
