The antichrist is all too real. It is Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth” — War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. — The rejection of objective truth.
Twenty-first-century individuals wonder, is the antichrist religious superstition or reality?

It is an important question.
I declare now, regrettably, that the antichrist is all too real.
However, I also state that the antichrist is deeply misunderstood. It is, foundationally, not a person. It is a SELF-reinforcing societal cognitive disability. It will, if unchecked, produce an agent (person) of profound civilizational destruction. After the fact, that person or leader may be called the antichrist. But they are not. They are a product of the antichrist. That is, they are a result of a pathological rejection of truth, objective reality, and the existence of absolute truth.
There is a name for this cognitive disability: postmodernism.
Postmodernism is an intellectual stance or mode of discourse characterized by suspicion about the use of reason and logic; skepticism toward what it considers the “grand narratives” of modernism; rejection of the certainty of knowledge and the stability of meaning; and sensitivity to the role of ideology in maintaining political power.

The disturbing wages of postmodernism.
There was a time when I believed that the antichrist was religious superstition. Now, I don’t. An antichrist figure may rise, but they are not the devil. They may be an agent of unmitigated evil and thereby bring about the end of civilization, but they are not the explicit antichrist. The antichrist is not a person chosen by satan or even satan itself.
The antichrist is a rejection of truth (objective reality). That behavior is, in fact, satanic.
