“We removed God and left nothing to replace him. We started believing in the void, handing everything over to chance.
Magic 8-Ball is about someone who gambles everything, believing that eventually everyone gets their break. That the universe is fair if you just wait long enough. But the break never comes. He loses everything and is left with the realization that it was never fate, only his own choices. His responsibility. His idea.
We didn’t become more rational. We just found new things to believe in and built a new magical reality to replace the one we tore down. Stocks. Crypto. Luck. Magical ideas pretending to be modern.
The video is a found recruitment tape from The Cult of Infinity, who worship chance itself. To them, the Magic 8-Ball is divine because of its emptiness. No thoughts. No mercy. Just pure, sacred random. The 8 isn’t a number. It’s infinity. We’ve just been looking at it sideways.”
