The Devil's Doctrine of Distraction is a Goldstonian revelation for the age of algorithms. Dr. Justin Goldston argues that the devil's most elegant deception isn't sin or scandal-it's forever: the engineered obsession with never dying that keeps humanity from truly living. From cryonics and consciousness uploads to attention economies and AI "angel light," Goldston traces how immortality-thinking becomes the ultimate idol, replacing presence with performance and revelation with replication.
Across twenty blazing chapters-anchored in Runic Consulting praxis and SydTek University pedagogy-Goldston separates resurrection from replication, meaning from momentum, and Logos from mere logic. You'll learn how distraction became the new damnation, why screens function as portable altars, and how to install the Counter-Algorithm: Meaning > Immortality in your daily life and work. This is not a rejection of technology but a consecration of it: frameworks, audits, and rituals for engineers, creators, and leaders who refuse to outsource awe to machines.
Prophetic and practical, devotional and data-literate, The Devil's Doctrine of Distraction is a field manual for souls who build in the light without being blinded by it. If you sense that "progress" has become possession and that clarity has lost its warmth, this book will return you to the Source-and to the only eternity that matters.
The devil keeps you chasing forever. God calls you back to meaning.
