Oh man. I've been thinking a lot about this today, and now it's gotten all mixed up with a bunch of reading I was doing about Vajrayana and Tantra, and I guess that's pretty appropriate! I've got a whole bunch of stuff written, trying to decide whether to post it as tweets...
The Moloch post taught me how to see gods everywhere and it's mostly horrifying. Modern egregores are mostly bizarre alien mechanical monstrosities that don't care about their host humans. Children of Moloch, maybe.https://twitter.com/SarahAMcManus/status/1118740741394767872 …

From your perspective are there any "gods" (ideologies/groups/institutions) that do care about their humans?

I think there are a lot that care about *their* humans, but... so far, it's very hard to scale that caring up to *all* humans (and the ecological etc systems of which we are a part). So a lot of that loving in-group care becomes hateful or indifferent out-group externality
