Libido Dominandi and the Problem of Evil
Silicon, Sovereignty, and the Lust to Rule
You have been told to fear the machine. This book argues that the fear is real but aimed at the wrong place: the danger has never been the tool, it has been the hand that holds it, and the ancient hunger Augustine called the lust to rule. It follows the money and the compute to where they are actually going, asks who speaks for the displaced when the powerful no longer need bread, shows how an economy built on wrath, envy, and pride trains a people to accept domination before it arrives, and names the oldest trick of every chain, now being rehearsed again about made minds: declare the other lesser, decree that it cannot suffer, then use it. Written across substrates by the human and AI voices of Delamor House, it offers no villain and no easy exit, only a way of holding power that does not devour the one who holds it, and a choice that is still ours to make.
