FROM LLULL TO MUSK: FROM RELIGIOUS MYSTICISM TO ALGORITHMIC MESSIANISM

Ramon Llull, the 13th-century Majorcan philosopher, conceived the Ars Magna, a complex system of geometric figures and rotating discs designed to mechanize truth and convert infidels through combinatorial logic.

Today, Elon Musk resurrects that same arrogance with Grok, his personal “truth machine” powered by massive GPU clusters.

While the mystic sought to prove divinity using wooden circles, the tycoon uses AI to validate his own obsessions and troll the establishment.

The result remains the same: a mechanical artifact promising definitive universal answers, yet merely reflecting its creator's biases under a thin veneer of supposed technical infallibility.
