Key Notes
Secret society ritual displaces agency onto a higher power such as Satan or Saturn, allowing members to believe that evil acts serve order or paradise.
The Catholic Church is framed through Dostoevsky as an institution that pretends to worship Jesus while actually worshiping Satan by enforcing order for people who want to be sheep.
Jiang glosses this as the reason evil exists: many people do not want to think, so Satanic authority commands them and removes choice.
Satan is identified with money and power, so this world belongs to Satan while the next belongs to God; one cannot triumph in both.
The Satan thought experiment shows Jiang’s claim that already possessing enormous wealth makes people more willing to trade freedom or salvation for immortality and wealth preservation.
Wealthy people seek Satan, immortality, or a frozen world because sunk cost fallacy makes death feel like losing all accumulated capital and status.
Jiang answers that wealthy Satan worship is a refuge from divine judgment: if wealth came through theft, harm, cheating, lying, or stealing, God’s judgment becomes intolerable.
