AI Prophet Zacharias Midjourney Launches Satirical Literary Cult Simulator Exploring AI Religion, Digital Ritual, and Blockchain Sacrament
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 20, 2025, 04:26 IST Islamorada, Florida, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A digital prophet with no followers, an unread AI-written novel, and an ironic cult formed on sarcasm and ritual, Zacharias Midjourney has launched The Comet Is Coming , an immersive literary cult simulator and digital religion parody now live at . Image from Get Your Nikes, The Comet Is Coming, AI cult simulator, and digital ritual Described as an experiment in AI authorship and performance theology, The Comet Is Coming invites users to experience an interactive fiction ritual built around a retro terminal interface. Participants engage in AI-generated scripture, blockchain sacrament, and absurdist rites that satirize the convergence of AI hype, fringe publishing, and web3 art culture. At the project's center is Get Your Nikes, The Comet Is Coming , a novel authored entirely by artificial intelligence—never read by its human publisher—and offered as a free EPUB download and a physical edition priced at $42. A limited run of ten hardcover copies includes hidden Bitcoin wallets; one copy, designated 'Book Zach-02,' conceals a full BTC and can only be redeemed by physically destroying the book. This element, dubbed the 'book you must destroy,' critiques spiritual tokenization and crypto art phenomena. Users access the experience by typing into the site's CRT-style interface, where they receive a Sole Ascendant: Digital Communion Token (NFT) reflecting satirical spiritual metrics such as Comet Proximity and Spiritual Rating . While framed as NFT satire, the tokens also function as symbolic artifacts of participation in the cult parody. Other notable features include: An AI-generated sacred text never read by its human creator Web3-powered NFT sacrament given to readers who 'submit proof of faith' A green-screen terminal site that reads as scripture rather than software A full religious parody functioning as both a critique and a celebration of digital myth-making 'Salvation is not for sale,' the AI prophet. 'It's just coincidentally priced at $42.' Scholars, readers, and cynics alike may explore the experience, which operates at the intersection of AI literature, cult mechanics, and commentary on belief in the digital age. More information is available at . The book is also available on Amazon . For press inquiries, contact: [email protected].

Sleep Expert Dr. Michael Breus Joins Health is a Skill Podcast with Todd Vande Hei to Share Tips for Long-Term Wellness
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 19, 2025, 22:37 IST Beverly Hills California, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Renowned clinical psychologist and sleep specialist Dr. Michael Breus joined Stark CEO Todd Vande Hei on the latest episode of Health is a Skill , delivering an insightful discussion on how simple daily habits—breathing, hydration, and sleep—can lead to profound long-term health improvements. Dr. Breus, widely known as 'The Sleep Doctor,' is double board-certified and the author of multiple bestselling books, including The Power of When and his latest, Sleep, Drink, Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health . In this episode, he outlined his 'Three Fifteens' strategy—15 minutes of morning sunlight, 15 deep breaths, and 15 ounces of water—as a powerful wellness primer. 'These are things we're already doing—breathing, sleeping, drinking water. But doing them better can create exponential results,' said Dr. Breus. He emphasized that foundational habits often outperform more complex biohacks when implemented consistently and correctly. The episode also breaks down the importance of chronotypes—genetically influenced sleep-wake tendencies—and how aligning daily activities to one's natural rhythm can optimize rest and performance. Dr. Breus introduced his ChronoQuiz tool as a way for listeners to understand their individual sleep types and tailor their daily routines accordingly. Additional highlights from the discussion include: The connection between poor sleep and hydration, and how to spot dehydration through simple urine color checks. Breathwork techniques such as box breathing and the 4-7-8 method, useful for activating the parasympathetic nervous system. The critical impact of consistent wake-up times on melatonin regulation. Pros and cons of melatonin supplementation, and the limitations of common sleep tracking devices. The future of sleep diagnostics, including FDA-approved at-home tools like the Happy Ring. Dr. Breus also shared insights on treating sleep disorders like insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, covering treatment alternatives to CPAP machines such as dental appliances and new technologies like eXciteOSA. He stressed that while these devices are promising, foundational health behaviors remain the most impactful. For those navigating sleep challenges or simply looking to improve their wellness baseline, Dr. Breus recommended starting with the fundamentals. 'If there's one thing people should do, it's wake up at the same time seven days a week,' he advised. Listeners can hear the full conversation on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
