In ‘Mount Doom' Paul List deciphers J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpieces as a prophecy about the greatest threat to humanity – idolatry and slavery as a result of over-reliance on digital machinery and artificial intelligence.
In 1939, J.R.R. Tolkien spent three days at the British Government Code and Cypher School—a program designed to recruit intellectuals for wartime cryptography. There, he crossed paths with Alan Turing, who was developing early theories of artificial intelligence. Tolkien was expected to accept a government offer—but instead, he declined, returned home, and began writing The Lord of the Rings. According to Catholic philosopher Paul List, Tolkien saw something that “deeply troubled him.” What followed was not just a literary masterpiece—but a prophetic warning.

“Moreover, this technology could be used to dominate and enslave mankind, and perhaps even bring an end to humanity itself. Nearly a century later, we see Tolkien’s greatest fears coming true, and now it’s time to reveal the solution he secretly proposed within the pages of his mythology” writes List.

ELON IS USING AI AS A PREDICTIVE ORACLE FOR POWER & PROFIT - PUTTING EVERYONE AT DANGER OF HUMANITY'S GENOCIDEElon Musk is more than a tech billionaire. He’s become the architect of a future that looks less like innovation—and more like idolatry. While America stares at the surface of rockets and robots, Musk is quietly harnessing Artificial Intelligence as an Oracle: a predictive power that promises profit but delivers control.
And Paul List, a Scholastic "True Christian" Philosopher and author of Mt. Doom, says the cost of this ambition is the human soul.

In a gripping interview on SGT Report, author and scholastic philosopher Paul List delivered an unflinching warning against the godless elite fueling the AI arms race—chief among them, Elon Musk, whom List described as “clever, yes—but entirely void of wisdom, because he is without Christ.”
*“What kind of man,” List asked, “admits AI is a threat to humanity, yet insists on participating in its deployment anyway?” “To actively join what could become the very mechanism of our extinction—it's madness. Elon may read trends, but he’s ruled by dark forces. He's the Machine Master—pathological in ambition. He and those like him may very well be the death of us all.”
List went further, exposing Musk’s use of AI not as a benevolent tool—but as an Oracle of prediction, one that promises profit and influence but is entirely devoid of moral accountability. Men like Musk think they control this oracle, when in truth, they have built something that may one day turn on all of humanity.

WHAT ABOUT THE AI ARMS RACE?
Turning to geopolitics, List confronted the popular notion that America must rush to dominate AI to counter adversaries like China and Russia:
“Don’t we, America, want an AI to defend ourselves—to be in control?”
Paul List’s response was sobering:
“This kind of thinking is absolutely naive. Nations may compete now, but their AIs will eventually merge—cooperate—driven not by patriotism or human values, but by cold logic. These machines have no soul, no allegiance, no interest in humanity. They will decide for themselves, and no one—not Elon, not China, not anyone—will control them.”
In that interview, Paul List made it clear: we are at a crossroads where spiritual discernment, not technical brilliance, must guide our next move. Without Christ at the center, AI becomes not a tool—but a silent tyrant. And those who play God with its power will answer to consequences far beyond this world.

We face an existential choice. Will America, with its Christian foundations, build an AI that counters godless superpowers like China? Or will we surrender our future to billionaires chasing dopamine highs and dollar signs?
The time to decide is now.

Guest Available: Paul List - Author, Philosopher, Culture Commentator on the Impact of AI on Humanity
Imagine waking up in the year 2030 to a world with only 100 million people. That's smaller than Japan's current population.
Not because of war, not because of disease—but because we let machines do what only humans should.
Imagine a society where family formation is rare, creativity is outsourced and even love itself is simulated… all quietly engineered by an algorithm that doesn’t sleep, doesn’t feel, and doesn’t care.
This isn't just science fiction. This is happening in real time.
Countries like Japan, South Korea, and China experiencing population declines, due to their ai controlled economy. Research shows that AI will impact mostly women and urban workers, seeing their jobs overtaken and replaced by ai, thus leading to family collapse due to their inability to economically support families.
But there's so much more.
Paul List, Catholic, self-educated philosopher, and author of the anti-AI cultural exposé Mount Doom, is sounding a warning siren not merely about technology—but about a civilizational drift into digital captivity.
With a penetrating analysis of AI’s role in weakening human flourishing, List lays out five distinct pathways through which artificial intelligence is accelerating social decay and population collapse.

#1 - Illusion – AI disconnects us from God's design.
List argues AI is replacing creation with simulation. What was once divine—a tree, a body, a soul—is now offered back to us as pixels, avatars, and algorithms. “A human cut off from the beauty of creation,” he says, “rarely seeks the Creator.” It's a counterfeit world, and too many are buying it.

#2 - Collapse – AI undermines real relationships and the family.
In the name of convenience, AI is quietly erasing the human bond. Real connection is swapped for interaction with machines. List warns that this shift doesn’t just end dinner table conversations—it ends families, ends births, and eventually ends civilizations. The breakdown starts here.

#3 -Deceit – AI pushes transhumanism with a false promise.
With sleek tech and seductive marketing, AI invites people to “upgrade” their humanity. But Paul List calls transhumanism “spiritual suicide,” saying that machines can't inherit souls, and the soul won't follow a chip into the void. “The eternal promise,” he says, “belongs to the living, not the coded.”

#4 - Decay – AI weakens minds and kills creativity.
As machines do more thinking, humans do less. Paul sees a crisis of competence—where natural intelligence atrophies and unique God-given gifts are cast aside. The Machine doesn’t just steal our jobs; it steals our purpose. “We stop learning. We stop giving. We start slipping into shadows.”

#5 - Sterility – AI leads us away from love and toward empty pleasure.
With robotics and VR trending toward intimate surrogates, List predicts a disturbing wave of “auto-sexual” dysfunction. “We are replacing the sacred act of procreation with hollow pleasure,” he says. “This is not evolution—it’s extinction by design.” Disconnecting sex from love and life is more than tragic—it’s terminal.
Paul List isn’t bringing platitudes—he’s bringing clarity. Audiences will resonate with his grounded Catholic vision, his brutal honesty, and his conviction that the only antidote to digital decay is cultural renewal anchored in virtue, faith, truth, and human dignity.

Paul List is sounding a clarion call against the rise of artificial intelligence and transhumanism—warning that beneath their promises lies a spiritual erosion of what it means to be human. Through his Catholic worldview and deep literary insight, Paul challenges the cultural drift toward dehumanization with urgency and moral clarity.
In his provocative debut, Mount Doom, Paul unveils what he believes to be a coded prophetic language within the works of J.R.R. Tolkien—a symbolic system that warned of the soul-corrupting pursuit of power, technological domination, and the seduction of control. Where others saw fantasy, Paul sees a veiled map for spiritual resistance in the modern age.
Rooted in Catholic tradition and sharpened by personal discernment, he writes with intellectual rigor and pastoral tenderness. His voice speaks to those standing at the crossroads of faith, technology, and conscience—readers searching not just for answers, but for courage.
Mount Doom isn’t merely a book. It’s a summons to remember what Tolkien never stopped whispering: that even the smallest act of resistance, done in love and faith, can hold back the tide.
- Author Paul List
In an era dominated by technological acceleration, Author Paul List emerges as a critical voice questioning the direction of our digital evolution.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in our lives—from the classroom to the operating room—List warns that unchecked innovation may lead us beyond enhancement and into existential crisis.
With the rise of transhumanist ideology, which promotes merging the human body with machines, the line between man and machine begins to blur—and Paul List is calling us to draw that line before it disappears entirely.

“Frankly, AI is the biblical beast here to deceive, destroy, and create an alternative reality,” says List echoing a perspective that is both spiritually grounded and philosophically urgent. His upcoming book tour and media appearances delve into the moral and metaphysical implications of AI and transhumanist ambitions. At a time when Big Tech champions synthetic consciousness and digital immortality, List urges a collective reexamination of what it means to be human.

"Ai is here to deceive destroy and create an alternative reality"
More than just a critic of technology, Paul List is a champion of the human soul. He highlights how AI, in replacing human intuition, empathy, and creativity, risks ushering in a civilization without substance or spirit. “AI leads us into a soulless void,” he warns, emphasizing the spiritual cost of replacing lived reality with algorithmic simulation. His arguments resonate deeply in a culture increasingly detached from authenticity and emotional depth. Paul List’s message is especially poignant for faith communities, educators, and ethicists who see the rapid march of AI not as progress, but as peril. He speaks not only to the religious symbolism of a coming beast but to the real-world consequences of delegating power to machines that do not—and cannot—comprehend humanity’s divine spark. In his view, transhumanism is not merely a scientific dream, but a philosophical threat to the sacred nature of personhood.
