With a small hat-tip to Vox, because it was his blog that put me onto this article: Urban Bugmen and AI Model Collapse: A Unified Theory
It’s a very interesting article, that makes the rather intelligent point that regardless of whether you look at AI created iterations of the very same data, or human models of reality, or social models tried over historical ages by humanity, what happens in each case, is an entropic collapse.
It is a sort of natural degradation, or “weathering” if you like, of all networked structures. And it applies to human brains developing (he makes the excellent point concerning the retardation of Millennials, that in all honesty, rings a deep bell of truth to me):
The proposed thesis is that neural-network systems, which include AI models, human minds, larger human cultures, and our individual furry little friends, all train on available data. When a child stubs his wee little toe on an errant stone and starts screaming as if he’d caught himself on fire, that’s data he just received and which will be added to his model of reality. The same goes for climbing a tree, playing a video game, watching a YouTube video, sitting in a chair, eating that yucky green salad, etc. The child’s mind (or rather, subsections of his brain) are neural networks that behave similarly to AI neural networks 12 .
The citation is to an article discussing how AI systems are NOT general purpose, and how they more closely resemble individual regions of a brain, not a brain.
People use new data as training data to model the outside world, particularly when we are children. In the same way that AI models become delusional and hallucinate when too much AI-generated data is in the training dataset, humans also become delusional when too much human-generated data is in their training dataset.
This is why milennial midwits can’t understand reality unless you figure out a way to reference Harry Potter when trying to make a point 13 .
His theory is very coherent, references multiple separate data sets and in my opinion makes perfect sense, as well a fits very well into my 56 years of observation while on this planet.
Every model is imperfect and when you begin to use that model as a guide, some errors are introduced, if the model is unable to process those gaps/errors/lacunae between the model and reality as a re-iteration of the ORIGINAL model iteration, but instead they get assimilated into it for the NEXT iteration of the model, eventual collapse of the model, and hence its utility and viability, is absolutely inevitable.
On this basis then, I considered that the longest-lasting model that has remained essentially unchanged in nature, and that has simply taken on any “gaps” or “errors” or “lacunae” of meaning, knowledge, and so on and then inserted them back into the ORIGINAL model of reality —rather than simply carry on with the error becoming part of the model, and so eventually degrading it— and that has absolutely lasted the longest of any other model, in actual, real, historical, human society, is Catholicism.
The Roman Empire lasted about 800 years. Which is not even half the duration of Catholicism. Catholicism is now essentially only a few years away from having lasted 2,000 years exactly. The much glorified British Empire lasted only a fraction of even the Roman Empire, and the American one less than that.
There are a number of interesting things to keep in mind concerning this:
- Despite the lamentations of drooling retards of the Protestant variety, Catholicism has remained unchanged since its inception in terms of Dogma. Some of the Dogma was refined and expanded upon, (as described above) as more nuanced or particularised questions gradually came to the fore; or —more often— as attempts at infiltration, insertion of heresy, and lies became attacks against which the Church needed to respond to by returning to the origins and expanding on those details that remain essentially unchanged and true to all who have a half-functioning brain, but that required further precise detailing in order to ward off the very real attempt at inserting real error. This is important because it is simultaneously both a model that remains essentially unchanged and that answers entropic-attacks by re-referencing the original model in further (but still original, so not new) detail. It is really the only model I am aware of that does that as a routine.

While Catholicism absolutely took some hits in its history:
- The Arian heresy “converted” almost ALL the bishops of the time to it.
- The Albigensian heresies similarly had taken quite a strong hold.
- Islam ferociously attacked it for centuries (and still does).
- Judaism has been working tirelessly for the same 2,000 years to destroy it (and has had a lot of success over the last 100 years or so).
- The schism of 1054 halved the size of the real Church, and the rabid idiocy of Protestantism some 500 years later has resulted in the almost total globalisation of the secularisation of Christianity (Catholicism) as a cultural veneer over the 40,000 plus denominations/cults that have eroded marriage and family to sex-as sport, children as clumps of cells to be aborted so as not to spoil the sex-fun, divorce being the norm, and large family being considered a blight on climate change instead of a blessing from God.
- Two or even Three possible “Popes” over a period of some 70 years.
- Literally no one on the Throne of Peter for a couple or three years in a row.
- And now, no real Pope or clergy anywhere even in the vicinity of the Vatican since 1958, with only a remnant of valid clergy (and no valid Pope) still being Catholic and the enormous mass of the laity being almost all fooled into believing the Satanic Novus Ordo “religion” is Catholicism proper, when in reality, only 1958 Sedevacantism of the Totalist variety is.

You may argue that Hinduism or Shintoism or Buddhism are also long-standing religions, but I would say to you that none of them have survived unchanged in their dogma, except Catholicism. Hindus no longer burn their wives alive on the death of the husband. Shintoism is —like the Buddhism from which it derives— more of a philosophical perspective with a sometimes more or less strong belief in ancestors overlooking us and/or reincarnation, but has no strict moral code written down as Catholicism does. Nevertheless there are a couple of things that MAY be considered similarly:
- Islam, has been fairly consistent since it’s inception, but with it institutionalised pederastry, treatment of women as chattel, and conversion by force as well as violent, rapey, practices as part of its dogma, I think it is not difficult to see that while it is a “viable” religion, it is one that is in opposition to Catholicism, as indeed is Islam’s cousin and elder brother:
- Judaism; which of course also has pederastry as a non-crime, the killing of or stealing from non-jews as not a crime and so on and so forth.
- The fruits: Catholicism has undoubtedly increased the general beauty, health, wealth and above all HUMANITY and respect for every individual than any other religion bar none. There literally is nothing even remotely close to it. Even today, some 60 years after the evisceration of Catholicism proper, in remote villages of ex-Catholic countries, unmolested by third-worlders or foreigners, the vestiges of Catholic culture means you can sleep with your doors open and no one will enter your home to rob it. Strangers greet each other on the streets of their village and everyone looks out for each other to varying degrees. By comparison, theft in Arab countries is policed by cutting off limbs and heads. One might argue that perhaps the Chinese empire lasted quite long, but did it materially, spiritually and intellectually improve life for the average Chinaman or woman? Even if you found a way to argue for this in the positive (I think you’d have to employ a deep level of dishonesty to do so in any case) there is simply no way you can compare it against Catholicism in anything other than an absolutely negative light.
Because of all of the above (and many more points you can get into extreme-level of detail about that would make any autist proud) it is simply a fact that, regardless of the hits it has, does, and is currently taking, the core remnant of Catholicism has two very distinct features that cannot be found in any other model:
- It continues to survive and eventually thrive UNCHANGED in its core dogma, which is also all written down, so can’t be argued otherwise (the Code of Canon Law of 1917 collated ALL of Catholic dogma and rules in one tome, and reviewing Catholic history based on them it becomes clear that Catholicism has remained essentially unchanged, despite, of course, the ever-present corrupt humans that can and do infest it from time to time in all ages), despite unending attacks on it from all sides, all sources, and all intentions.
- When the codes of behaviour of it are followed it results in the best possible societies that humanity has ever managed to produce on this planet since humans arrived on it. Producing more liberty, honesty, beauty, art, loving families and communities than any other system in the entire history of mankind.
That’s a fairly strong indication that Catholicism absolutely models reality better than any other system that anyone has come up with. And despite its presently much reduced number of proponents, 1 I have have no doubt, that the supernatural protection Catholicism enjoys (from our Lord’s promise to always be with us) will see to it that it will in due course, thrive again.
You can argue on the basis of your emotional reactions to this (which is no argument at all, of course), but if you look at the facts simply as they are, it becomes impossible to not see that Catholicism is the only thing that humans ever “came up with” 2 that truly models reality accurately, and continues to do so after two millennia, producing awesome results when used and followed.
What you do with this undeniable proof now is up to you of course, after all, Catholicism does tell us two things:
- No one goes to Hell other than by their own free-will made choices, and,
- Most people will indeed end up in Hell. That road is wide and well-travelled. The true path is hard and narrow.
The only actual practicing Catholics not in error are 1958 Sedevacantists of the Totalist position. The only valid clergy left are Sedevacantists or sedeprivationists. The vast mass of lay people who consider themselves Catholics are in fact assumed to be Catholics but they are mostly in terrible error, being almost certainly invalidly baptised, lied to at every turn, ignorant of Catholicism to a shocking degree, and taking Vatican II heresies, invalid and blasphemous fake masses, from fake, non-ordained, knowing deceivers posing as Catholic clergy, as truth.
They didn’t of course, God gave it to us as his gift and redemption.
