The best things said about it
If you think of it being an implicit question in the Book of Genesis, first, how is there political order at all? And also, why is it that brothers do not kill each other?

Why people recommend it
The book of Genesis by Victor P. Hamilton is a foundational biblical text exploring creation, early human history, and complex family dynamics. The book frequently serves as a reference point across multiple prominent podcasts. On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, a guest humorously interpreted the book of Genesis as an ancient narrative about an advanced intelligence or malicious artificial intelligence wiping a hard drive to manage a creation that outgrew its parameters. Rev. Billy Cerveny discussed the text on The Tucker Carlson Show, specifically recounting the famous scene where Jacob wrestles the angel of the Lord in the woods after amassing wealth and establishing his household. Jack Posobiec mentioned the Book of Genesis on Timcast IRL while discussing Thomas Aquinas and theological arguments. John Gray told Conversations with Tyler that Genesis is one of his key texts for understanding the human situation and the nature of civilization. In a separate episode of Conversations with Tyler, Tyler Cowen and Rabbi David Wolpe explored the themes of political order and sibling rivalry within Genesis, noting that the text repeatedly portrays brothers in conflict without ultimately resulting in mutual destruction.

“It's called wiping the hard drive. Yeah. God got some kind of malicious AI, decided to wipe the [ __ ] hard drive. That's it's so funny to me that more people aren't talking about how the book of Genesis is clearly something to do with AI.”
