Part 9/12:
The Rise of the Tyrant and the Spirit Realm
Armani foresees the emergence of a new form of tyranny—an authoritarian figure emerging from the chaos, promising order through control. This tyrant, he states, will appeal to the subconscious archetypes of the collective, especially young males driven by primal urges and the desire for connection and purpose.
He draws parallels with biblical stories, focusing on John the Baptist’s role as a transitional figure who foretells change and is ultimately sacrificed. Armani sees modern figures like Jordan Peterson, who challenge cultural chaos through traditional truths, as potential "prophets" in this mythic cycle. He warns, however, that such figures can be co-opted or fall victim to the very archetypes they seek to challenge.
