That's why I hedge - is what we think we're seeing, real? Maybe it's just an emergent phenomenon, with sinews of greed and nerves of graft. And honestly for the overwhelming majority of the participants in the egregore, that's almost certainly exactly what it is.

But then there's shit like Epstein, and one wonders just what kinds of nasties have wormed their way into the soft tissues of the halls of power.

I still prefer Conan.

Set always strikes a chord, even though I don't hate snakes so much as Robert E. Howard apparently did. Just that cold, emotionless disdain for all human life, worshipper or no. His priests knowing full well he is evil and hates them, but doing it for the power he provides. The Inner Party in a nutshell.
