“Since the government has taken the place of Providence, it is natural that everyone should invoke it in their private needs” — Alexis De Tocqueville And he is referring to the Ancien Régime here.

A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI. The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully. It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.
