And this isn't really specifically about young people... some people get it really early because they are rooted in the wisdom of their parents and grandparents, of their church and of their confessions. The Western individualist is so young, because they worship themselves.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 21, 2026

To suppose that there are parameters within which temporalities will change is to suppose that there is a heavenly hierarchy, all deriving power from the one true God. https://t.co/2PjG8b0z6H— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) July 20, 2026
We May Be Entering A Second Axial Age
The transition from small hunter-gatherer societies into complex civilizations gave rise to the first Axial Age. Today, the planetary polycrisis of climate chaos, mass migration, increasing warfare and transformative AI represents a rupture of comparable magnitude.
