   BAAL
      :bu:`B`\ *lindly* :bu:`A`\ *ssuming* :bu:`A`\ *uthorized* :bu:`L`\ *eadership*.

      The first idol of the death-trifecta: oversimplifying. Guessing
      without knowing what the problem is. Going beyond what one was
      officially anointed (blessed) to do. Pleasant face: "I have
      figured it out." Kills *reasonableness* by dismissing what does
      not fit.

      In the :term:`e7He` binary encoding, BAAL is the least
      significant bit. It appears at stages :term:`ACD` (alone),
      :term:`GAT` (with :term:`ASHERAH`), :term:`LUC` (with
      :term:`MOLOCH`), and :term:`FRE` (with both).

      See: :term:`ASHERAH`, :term:`MOLOCH`, :term:`BABL`,
      :term:`OSCR`.

   ASHERAH
      :bu:`A`\ *utocratic* :bu:`S`\ *tereotyping* :bu:`H`\ *abits* --- :bu:`E`\ *rroneously* :bu:`R`\ *ounding* :bu:`A`\ *gainst* :bu:`H`\ *ope*.

      The second idol of the death-trifecta: overcomplicating. Treating
      different types or people as if they were the same. Burying truth
      under unnecessary layers. Fog: "You need to understand everything
      first." Kills *kindness* by making the path inaccessible to the
      weak.

      In the :term:`e7He` binary encoding, ASHERAH is the middle bit.
      It appears at stages :term:`TTT` (alone), :term:`GAT` (with
      :term:`BAAL`), :term:`RES` (with :term:`MOLOCH`), and
      :term:`FRE` (with both).

      See: :term:`BAAL`, :term:`MOLOCH`, :term:`BABL`, :term:`OSCR`.

   MOLOCH
      :bu:`M`\ *istakes* :bu:`O`\ *ppressing* :bu:`L`\ *ife* --- :bu:`O`\ *mitting* :bu:`C`\ *rucial* :bu:`H`\ *elp*.

      The third idol of the death-trifecta: overreaching. Making life
      unnecessarily difficult or impossible. Grasping for control
      beyond legitimate scope. Power: "I can fix/know/control
      infinity." Kills *gentleness* by forcing transitions that shatter
      what they claim to save.

      In the :term:`e7He` binary encoding, MOLOCH is the most
      significant bit. It first appears at stage :term:`MYM` (alone ---
      the most dangerous introduction), then :term:`LUC` (with
      :term:`BAAL`), :term:`RES` (with :term:`ASHERAH`), and
      :term:`FRE` (with both).

      See: :term:`BAAL`, :term:`ASHERAH`, :term:`BABL`,
      :term:`OSCR`.
