Utopianism is on the right now. They they also need to have some type of conflict. They need to have a purging episode. You have to purge everybody that's on the other side to enter utopia. And that that's why Christians are really into it. They read the book of Revelation.

Why people recommend it

The Book of revelation by Rupert Thomson is a profound scriptural and literary work exploring apocalyptic visions and spiritual themes. The text received widespread attention across multiple podcast episodes. On Stuff You Should Know, a host cited Revelation while discussing the biblical dragon as a representation of Satan. Dr. Stella Immanuel appeared on Timcast IRL to reference the book of Revelation, chapter 13, warning against technological developments such as artificial intelligence, clones, and a future control system requiring a mark on the hand or head, which she associated with neural implants. Glenn Beck spoke on The Tucker Carlson Show, explaining that the purpose of the Book of Revelation and biblical prophecy is to prevent fear regarding the end times. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Jordan Peterson noted that the biblical text serves as an attempt to structure human apprehension of the eternal apocalypse and mentioned its powerful imagery. Tom Holland and Tyler Cowen discussed the book on Conversations with Tyler, where Holland highlighted Saint Augustine's 4th- and 5th-century anxieties regarding Christians interpreting the Book of Revelation too literally, and Cowen questioned whether a greater societal emphasis on the book would make modern culture less liberal.
