Hemingway's law of motion - things happen slowly and then all at once.
We are in the "all at once" phase as evidenced by the things Donald Trump and his team have done in just 3 weeks.
My mind is racing this morning. I’ve been pondering what I’ve witnessed in the world of politics over the last week, and I am blown away by the things Trump has managed to pull off in such a short window of time. It is mind blowing to say the least and in many ways music to my ears.
I was talking to one of my closest friends yesterday afternoon and he asked me what I thought about all this. My thoughts were mixed. On the one hand I see Trump moving forward with his plans almost entirely unimpeded this go round and contrast that with his first term where he was harassed in ways we’ve never seen before. On the other hand, I ask myself is all that he is getting done really a good thing. Is it possible there is something nefarious about it all?
Why is he succeeding on virtually everything he has set out to do? Fair question, and I don’t have an answer - at least one that is plausible unless I give some credence to the idea that Trump is being used by God to fulfill some purpose, or should I say some prophecy, or more probably many prophecies. If God’s prophets say it is going to happen, it is going to happen after all.
As I said my mind is racing this morning. Part of the reason has to do with this video.
These 4 guys are spending very little time talking about bible prophecy and a whole lot of time talking about AI (artificial intelligence). They are talking about knowledge increase. They are talking about Elon Musk and what his small team of techies has uncovered in a matter of days. They are talking about Trump’s cabinet choices falling into line so rapidly. They are taking note of the fact that Trump has surrounded himself with AI technocrats.
In short, they are talking about Hemingway’s law of motion. Hemingway’s law of motion is not a scientific thing by the way. It is actually a few short sentences in his book the Sun Also Rises. Here is the way one author - name unknown to me - described it:
"How did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked. "Two ways," Mike said. "Gradually and then suddenly."
This brief yet poignant exchange from Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel, The Sun Also Rises, captures a fundamental truth about the nature of change and transformation in our lives and in the world around us. The idea that major shifts happen "slowly at first, and then all at once" has resonated across literature, economics, relationships, and nearly every facet of the human experience.
At its core, Hemingway's observation speaks to the nonlinear way in which complex systems often evolve over time. Whether we're talking about personal growth, technological progress, societal upheaval, or the decline of civilizations, the most consequential changes tend to follow a similar pattern - a long, gradual buildup followed by a sudden and dramatic tipping point.
On a personal level I can relate to the “slowly” part, and also to the “all at once part.” My world changed a lot on November 27th of last year. I wrote a paper titled Like the days of Noah were so will the coming of the Son of Man be. That post took off. It has set atop the most popular posts I’ve made on this site for over two months now. My numbers of readers are relatively small by the way. I started this site November 8, 2020, and on November 26th of last year I only had 21 subscribers. Something changed though after I posted that paper. Here’s a screenshot of my subscriber growth since I created this site in November of 2020:
It took 4 years to get to 21 subscribers and a little over 2 months to increase that number by a factor of almost 4. Mind you I’ve posted quite a lot of content over that span of time. An educated guess is the total number of words I’ve posted to this site is around 324,000. For perspective the New Testament contains about 180,000 words.
I’ve stated in comments that I will not promote my work. My position is a simple one. I write about all sorts of things but always through a biblical lens. Therefore, if God wants people to read what I write it is up to Him to make that happen. I can’t know for sure that His hand was on all this - that He wanted more people to read that particular post - but in relative terms a lot of people have read it, and a lot of people shared it.
I don’t want to belabor the point, but I do want to tell you this - we’ve moved into the “all at once” phase. I’ve seen it on a personal level, but what’s happening with Trump and his team is mind blowing. Every element of his plan as promised seems to be falling into place and he’s only been in office now for a little over 3 weeks.
So, back to the question I asked myself - is there something nefarious about all these things being accomplished so quickly? I haven’t really been able to pin down what I think might be going on here - at least until this morning. I often ask God for more clarity on these sorts of things and this morning I woke up really early, sat down at my desk and checked my email. I had an email from Britt Gillette directing me to a rather long discussion on all these things and more - particularly as it relates to AI and the way Trump has surrounded himself with these AI technocrats.
The 4 guys in this discussion are a little geeky by the way. Not your typical bible scholars. I’m a little geeky too so I was immediately drawn to these guys. I want to know everything I can about everything. Not an easy task by the way. I study economics, markets, money systems, biology, physics, the bible, geopolitics, quantum computing, and of course AI. I’ve posted papers on all these subjects on this site by the way.
The point though is this - I think these guys are spot on in terms of what they see coming. What they see coming is a world where AI rules - rules every facet of our lives - and it is coming really fast - all at once to use the words of Hemingway.
I’ve written a lot about quantum computing and understand just how instrumental these systems really are in terms of AI. My most recent post on the matter is titled Imagining the enormity of God. Here’s a short excerpt from that paper:
The computational power of Google maps is amazing, and it doesn’t even begin to approach the computational power of a quantum computer. Consider this excerpt from a paper titled How is a quantum computer faster than a regular computer?
In the past two decades, the computing world has made significant progress in quantum processing. Big players like IBM and Google and newer competitors like IonQ and PASQAL are all in the race to make quantum processors available to consumers.
Quantum computers have shown that they can process certain tasks exponentially faster than classical computers. In late 2019, Google claimed that it had managed to solve a problem that would take 10,000 years for the world’s fastest supercomputer within just 200s using a quantum computer.
Those working with quantum computers tell us the processing speed of these quantum machines is roughly 100 million times faster than the computers we now use on a daily basis. But would such power be able to handle God’s algorithm if it exists?
I suppose I could have kept this post short - just told you I thought you should watch the Bible Prophecy Roundtable video I linked above. You probably wouldn’t have done that though without some background context, and many of you may not watch it anyway, but you should as these guys are telling you we are in the all at once phase where things are changing at breakneck speed.
Will you even recognize the world a year from now? Will we see peace and prosperity, a major decrease in evil agendas, a rooting out of the rot that exists in our world today? Probably so, at least if these guys are right. AI is after all very powerful - very, very powerful - and if used for good we could enter a phase of utopian/euphoric existence never seen before.
Should we not see that as a good thing? Well, yes if you view the world through a secular lens, but no if you see it through a biblical lens. If Satan’s plan is to deceive the world, and to steal souls from God, would he be successful in positioning himself, or should I say his Antichrist, as commander and chief of the entire world if he could in fact pull off this rapid reshaping of the world in what would seem to be the most utopian era that ever existed?
Seems plausible to me, and that is why it is so very important to see all this through a biblical lens. Are these tech guys - those pushing AI - bad people? I think there is some reason to conclude they are in fact bad people.
The image below is a Baphomet symbol:
Who is Baphomet? Well, it is not a word found in the bible, so we need to be careful not to read too much into the image below but know this - it is a satanic symbol. You can learn more about Baphomet, it’s origins, and it’s meaning here: Who/what is Baphomet? | GotQuestions.org
Could Elon Musk be an unwitting conspirator working on behalf of Satan? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I do think whether he is doing what he’s doing for good or for evil, what he is doing could be a plausible part of a satanic plan to implement the Beast System. You can read about the Beast System in a post I published a few months ago. The post seems to have gained traction on my site and is now the 2nd most popular post I’ve published. Beware of the Beast System!
I’ll close with this - if you want to better understand what’s going on with Trump and his team watch the Bible Prophecy Roundtable video and keep in mind, we are in that all at once phase of Hemingway’s law of motion.
What is so amazing is the contrast between those who see it all from a Biblical perspective versus those whose perspective is purely of "the world." The latter wouldn't see anything amiss when seeing the picture of Elon's bathomet garb. The same with his mother, by the way. Biblical truth is surely polarizing.
RE: Why is the spiritually unrestrained messianic rider upon the Orwellian white horse (Revelation 6) succeeding on virtually everything he has set out to do? Fair question, and I don’t have an answer for why God has cast a powerful democratic delusion upon the Marxist Beast’s Socialistically Secured UN Global Village- at least one that is plausible unless I give some credence to the idea that Trump is being used by God to fulfill some purpose, or should I say some prophecy, or more probably many prophecies.
Big Brother-Uncle Sam’s Socialistically-Secured corporate body (transhuman AI-Cyborg) is Lucifer’s Masonic organism that is demonically driven by Democracy’s antichrist spirit.
In this Orwellian ‘Digital Age’ of Babel’s ‘re-united’ UN Global Village, Uncle Sam’s democratic Laodicean Church of Americanization is filled with fear-driven, money-loving, digitally-marked (SS#), socialistically-secured chattel [i.e. the Devil’s democratic—wolves in sheep’s clothing, self-willed goats, noxious tares, and foolish virgins]. They all democratically huddle together as captive slaves within Socialism’s inescapable UN Security System. Being under the strong delusion that God cast upon Babel’s UN Global Village, they idolatrously trust that the Marxist Beast’s benevolent eugenic-welfare system will surely preserve their ‘numbered’ (SS#) souls from tribulation. Uncle Sam’s democratic spirit prevents them from hearing Christ’s life-saving commandment in Revelation 18:4!!
Christ sanctifies His holy Bride outside of Babelʼs Socialistically-Secured UN global village, in the socially un-secured ʻwildernessʼ. He intimately calls the wise virgins within His Bride, saying: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not democratically participate in her corporate sins and receive of her pandemic plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:4
During the Orwellian “Digital Age” of Neo-Babel’s Global Village (i.e. Sodom -Egypt) all global-e-commerce merchandise, including the souls of men, must be digitally-marked with the identification number (SS#; SIN#) of the Marxist Beast’s Socialistic Security System. Mentally engraved within their hearts’ consciousness (the forehead’s memory) and embedded within their hand-held credit card is the digital name of the Marxist UN Beast. No man can legally buy, sell, engage in the cashless global-e-commerce, obtain a drivers license, a bank account, a passport or be hired for employment without being branded for life with the Beast’s SS#. From cradle to grave the digitally-marked souls of Neo-Babylonians are happily enslaved as dependent-wards, held captive within the Marxist Beast’s Socialistically-Secured Global Village.
Uncle Sam’s Social-Secured citizens are indoctrinated to proudly lay down their patriotic lives in militant defense of licentious Lady Liberty’s Masonic Constitution. Under God’s strong delusion they democratically bow their idolatrous hearts, in a worshipful corporate pledge of allegiance, before the Masonic Statue of Columbia’s sacred image—“Old Glory” (see Daniel 3:16). They are brainwashed chattel, not unlike inoculated beef cattle that permanently bear their master’s digital name stapled to their ear. Contently chewing their cud, these deluded beasts fatten up in the eugenic ‘security’ of the slaughter-house feedlot. Oblivious to the holocaust that awaits their numbered souls, they are like the Third Reich’s ghettoized Jews who were numbered, showered, and thrown into Auschwitz’s ovens.
The Spirit of God’s Word led me to repent of foolishly being held captive, from cradle to grave, as a digitally-marked, dependent-ward that is happily enslaved within Socialismʼs idolatrous Security System. I learned that God personally calls each of His own children by name. Whereas the devilʼs antichrist spirit digitally-marks/brands the democratic souls of his accursed children with an impersonal SS# for a name. A very jealous God commands His beloved children not to let the digital mark of the Beastʼs Socialistic Security System to be etched into the memory of their foreheadʼs consciousness, or imbedded in their hand-held credit card, or in their handʼs signature (i.e. signing their SS# on a document). For Godʼs sanctified children cannot be named by, nor obediently serve the holy will of both Godʼs Theocratic Spirit and the devilʼs Democratic spirt of antichrist.
