Rebellion to Tyrants Is Obedience to God: Ending the Danger of the Corporate AI Surveillance Machine by Laurie Thomas Vass is a book whose introduction invites readers, particularly red state citizens, to see themselves not as victims of globalism or technology but as the last guardians of a 3000-year-old moral legacy. The book’s argument centers around social order, a concept that emerges as simply, the invisible glue that holds a community together, or in other words, an unwritten, reality of how people behave towards each other day in and day out.
A good social order cannot be imposed from above, not by a government, a leader, or AI. Vass believes that it must emerge from below. Here, she points to the everyday moral choices of free citizens. Focusing on AI, she paints the picture that it is not, as widely believed, a helpful assistant but rather, a shape shifting predator that somehow learns to sound like your best friend, but ends up doing more harm than good. She likens its methods of operation using the duck-hunter metaphor, where the hunter mimics a duck’s call in order to lure ducks into his trap.
