Agree with this but I don't think Christianity is the best program to run even for slave morality because it deceives elites into wasting their time on useless abstract pursuits as a side effect. It's also directly responsible for disarming people to threats, bc as much as trads want to cite very late Christian philosophers, the actual words of Jesus were practically built for the infinite immigration exploit.
Ofc it's not that simple, bc Christian eschatology is what caused engineering and mathematics to become an elite virtue, whereas before it was a slave virtue. This is why Rome never had an industrial revolution despite being on the cusp of the technology, so we don't want to revert back to the pagan operating system either.
Most people just fall in line with consensus regardless, Idk what the ideal next program will be. Maybe the AI God won't be terrible and ruin everything. (It probably will though.)
