Agreed. The cult of personality seems to have a strong grip on the US zeitgeist.

Technology is the new religion and Musk/Altman are the new messiahs, with Jobs and Gates as the patron saints.

It’s mostly just this site and the SV delusion it’s connected with. I’d bet if you ask random Americans, they would have no idea who Altman even is.

Nah, you can replace Sam with a deity of choice depending on the group, ex. Taylor Swift.

As organized religion recedes, people fill the vacuum with gods of their own making.

It’s funny how those who most decry cults end up sounding so cultish.

The opposite of cult worship is NOT cult antipathy.

While sounding pithy, this is logically flawed. The opposite of theism is atheism, not agnosticism.
