Elon Musk posted on X questioning why people side with the resistance in apocalyptic films but don’t do the same in reality.
That’s not surprising. All entertainment, even that which is inspired and positive, is being secretly manipulated by Satan to numb the human sense of reality (both evil and righteousness).
For example, apocalyptic films mostly don’t achieve any sense of biblical pre-warning but only create two alternative effects: first is a false sense that “this is just fiction, nothing like that is going to happen in real life” (this is the compartmentalized mental space of the entertainment generation), but the second is numbness for the reality thinking that it isn’t really that bad because it is nothing like the film yet ..”
For another example, people who have no interest in reading the Bible itself but get excited watching a dramatized film rendition of a biblical story. Watching such a movie is probably the best kind of entertainment you can find, but it’s still sad.
The world of entertainment is largely in the realm of Satan, who is a master of manipulation.
What Satan is trying to accomplish is to destroy people’s sense of reality. He has different ways to accomplish that. In entertainment, the most powerful way he uses it is by over-saturating people’s sensory and mental faculties to make them numb to reality. He attacks the state of man. Man is blessed by God with a balanced state of body, soul, and spirit. Satan destroys that balanced state through sensational indulgence.
People are misled into believing that stimulation of the physical senses yields mental satisfaction, while stimulation of the mind (soul) yields spiritual satisfaction. But in reality, the opposite is true.
In fact, precisely the reverse is true. The state of man is created in the order of spirit, soul, and body, not the other way around.
The soulish rendering for entertainment, even with highly creative exaggeration, cannot reach even the edge of the spiritual reality, let alone its depth.
