This video essay by researcher veritas et caritas has been edited and re-uploaded.

> The year is 2014, and Cevin Soling, also known by his pseudonym Malcolm Jarry, one of the leaders of The Satanic Temple in the US, is visiting the tiny Pacific island of Tanna, part of the nation of Vanuatu. According to Soling, “Apparently there was a prophecy I would come”. This video tells the strange story of how Cevin Soling arrived in Vanuatu, convinced that he was the messiah of a cargo cult.

Lord Kelvin, if you find - in the popular imagination - such deviations from reality to be distracting, I fear you shall become so devoted to trying to explain to people that they are living in Plato's cave, that by the end of your life you shall have good units of measure that well represent reality named after you.

Heuristic shortcuts are EVERYWHERE. Most heartbreaking (to me) is when someone is imprisoned or excommunicated or killed because they used reality (or its closest proxy) as their benchmark, and their judges (&/or police) did not. An almost-literal witch-hunt.

#CevinSoling is a weird dude, and it's weird that more people in #TheSatanicTemple don't care about this.
