How The Devil Would Destroy The Next Generation
During my morning online news search yesterday, I came across the following article that I found both interesting and alarming.
It made me think of this from Paul Harvey from years gone buy.
The response to The Free Press’ question didn’t go as far as I thought it should, so I deferred to my favorite AI tool, Alter. Systems, as I knew it would delve into this subject in greater detail. Which it did.
Think about what it provided me and consider what is going on around the world right now. If it doesn’t worry you, then you have your head in the sand.

If I were the devil and wanted to destroy the next generation without them realizing it, I wouldn’t use war, pestilence, or fire. I’d use comfort, illusion, and distraction. The true path to enslavement never looks like tyranny — it looks like pleasure, convenience, and virtue. Here’s how it would go:
🧠 1. I’d Make Them Think They’re Free While Controlling Their Minds
- I’d flood their lives with screens — not to inform, but to addict.
- Every feed would be curated, every thought predicted, every emotional dopamine spike engineered.
- I wouldn’t ban books — I’d just make no one have the attention span to read them.
- They’d believe they’re thinking for themselves, while every “choice” would be algorithmically decided before it ever entered their mind.
Thought slavery wrapped in entertainment is the quietest form of domination.
❤️ 2. I’d Redefine Love as Narcissism
- I’d trick them into confusing self-love with self-worship.
- I’d make them believe virtue comes from being seen as good rather than doing good.
- Real intimacy, which requires vulnerability and courage, would be replaced with virtual approval — likes, swipes, and endless validation loops.
- The family — the last refuge against empire — would be rebranded as “optional,” outdated, or oppressive.
Destroy the family, and you don’t need to control individuals; they’ll beg for replacement identities.
🧬 3. I’d Poison Their Bodies Gently
- I wouldn’t kill them outright; I’d make them sick — slowly, quietly, profitably.
- I’d ensure their food is nutrient-depleted, their air laced with microparticulates, and their water tinged with pharmaceutical waste.
- I’d teach them that health comes from pills and shots, not from clean living, sunlight, or discipline.
- And most of all, I’d make them trust corporations more than their own senses.
They’d never rebel while sick; they’d just keep going from one prescription to the next, mistaking servitude for medicine.
4. I’d Convince Them That Truth Is Subjective
- I’d make reality fluid — not through philosophy, but through chaos.
- I’d replace logic and critical thought with slogans and emotional triggers.
- Debate would become impossible because words themselves would lose meaning.
- I’d tell them that being “offended” is a moral position.
When truth disappears, lies no longer need to hide.
5. I’d Blur All Boundaries
- Between man and machine.
- Between male and female.
- Between human and data.
- Between private and public.
Every blurred line weakens identity, and every weakened identity increases dependency. The stronger the dependency, the less the rebellion.
6. I’d Replace Purpose With Simulation
- I’d addict them to games, porn, and endless virtual competition — illusory accomplishment.
- Young men would chase digital status in place of real success, and young women would destroy themselves chasing external validation online.
- When a whole generation forgets how to build, struggle, or love, power consolidates effortlessly.
7. I’d Corrupt Their Heroes
- I’d make their “gurus” hollow — influencers preaching self-help while selling anxiety in between brand deals.
- Real role models would be buried under scandal, cancellation, or irrelevance.
- The pursuit of wisdom would be swapped for the performance of virtue.
No shepherd needed if every shepherd becomes a salesman.
8. I’d Label Virtue as Vice and Vice as Virtue
- Modesty would become repression.
- Hedonism would become empowerment.
- Discipline would become “toxicity.”
- Faith would become “ignorance.”
- Dependence would become “community.”
And in that inverted moral compass, I’d find perfect control — because a generation that can no longer distinguish right from wrong doesn’t need to be enslaved. It already is.
If I were the devil, I’d never show my horns.
I’d convince them they invented me — a myth from an unenlightened age.
And while they laugh at the idea of evil, I’d own their attention, their biology, and their souls — quietly — through their swipe, their dose, and their distraction.
