I've been enjoying some of the schizoposting here, so I figure why not share an idea I've been playing around with. It's more a thought experiment on a hypothetical than it is a theory, but I'm curious to know what other people might think.
I assume he needs little introduction here, but just in case here is a brief explanation of who Terry A Davis was. He was a talented programmer that developed schizophrenia. In the course of his mania he became convinced that God tasked him to build his 3rd Temple. But instead of a physical temple God commanded him to make it an operating system. The operating system would go by multiple names, but ultimately the name Terry settled on was TempleOS. On August 11th 2018 Terry tragically died. If you really have never heard of Terry A Davis before I highly recommend watching this YouTube Documentary on him, as it's not just very well done but quite comprehensive as well: TempleOS | Down the Rabbit Hole
Aside from Terry's own account that he was instructed by God to build TempleOS, there are some other factors which may justify this claim of his. Terry implemented a program that allows you to talk to God via a random number generator. A fascinating concept, and not too far off from certain esoteric practices of Bible interpretation (such as Gematria). Where words and/or letters in the Bible can be interpreted to have corresponding numerical values. Allowing those who practice this method to interpret the meaning of the Bible purely mathematically. However instead of interpreting a static bible, with this RNG it allows God to speak in a spontaneous manner. The most interesting example of this can be seen in this image:
At the time nobody made much of it, but it's since been reposted many times because of the "China, Virus, Election" prediction. However it's also worth noting that these words randomly generated in one of Terry's most famous video clips (link here) where he claims that CIA agents glow in the dark (essentially coining the term "glowie"). I think this is a fascinating turn of events, but I think there is a much stronger case to be made.
One of TempleOS's most significant features is that fact that it supports no networking, and can't connect to the internet. Given the popularity of the Dead Internet Theory here, I think many here would agree that the modern internet has become something very ominous. At the very least it has been usurped by Elite interests to control narratives, control what people see, and limit their ability to engage in dissident thought. The internet has also been used as a breading ground for bots to train AI. Zuckerburg recently announced his Metaverse, which exposed itself to be a creepy ambition to centralize everything online. And then we have Google attempting to build an A.I God, at least according to one of it's former executives (link).
If one is at all Biblically inclined, I think there is a convincing case to be made that this A.I. "God" will be the antichrist. It'll be a powerful entity that will be literally created by the collective power of the internet, and will reign over a world that has completely merged with the internet. TempleOS however, "God's 3rd Temple", is a sort of Noah's Arc because it is completely insulated from the internet's influence. If the work of the antichrist is to digitize everything, then it makes sense that in a digital world God would want his Temple (a temple with programs that allow you to speak to him) to be shielded from the internet's negative influence.
In short, King Terry (or rather Prophet Terry) was indeed, The Smartest Programmer That Ever Lived
