About#
This site presents the work of Laurence Loewe of Laodicea (LLoL) — a researcher who spent over five years on a wide, interdisciplinary, diversity-encouraging (wid-e) research marathon to understand and articulate the innovation algorithms encoded in the biblical book of Revelation for averting existential threats — nuclear war, pandemics, artificial superintelligence. These aren’t inevitable. Revelation offers a choice.
The Jubilee System offers a path forward: cyclical renewal built on ancient wisdom and modern science.
How this research came to be#
LLoL’s path to discovering the Jubilee System was highly idiosyncratic, serendipitous, and — by his own account — accidental. Yet in science and mathematics, how something was discovered does not determine its validity. What matters is whether the conclusions can be checked by others who follow the same rules, starting from the same assumptions. That is the beauty of superrational solutions.
The challenge, however, is the discovery’s complexity. Grasping it requires an intense examination of the systemic forces — the “Leviathan” — that drive humanity’s hardest problems. Workable solutions do not fit on a bumper sticker or in any easily readable book. They require careful, extended analyses of causality. That LLoL discovered elegant algorithmic paths through this complexity he attributes to divine providence, not to his own intelligence.
To arrive at these conclusions required LLoL to circumnavigate the conceptual universe in a five-year-plus research marathon. Review by others will be faster, but the complexity is not to be underestimated. This is why funding support is essential — to sustain those who commit to the work of fair, rigorous review.
The Laodicea connection#
The name “Loewe of Laodicea” is not incidental. Laodicea was the last of seven assemblies to whom Revelation was originally addressed as a letter. Historically, Laodicea was a banking community — and its response (or lack thereof) to Revelation’s message represents one of the great missed opportunities in the history of the text’s reception.
LLoL decided to take personal responsibility for working on restitution — as best he can — for these cataclysmic historic oversights apparently made by the Church of Laodicea. This sense of personal responsibility drove the five-year research marathon and continues to drive the work today.
Note
This is because of an unusual historic bottleneck: Reality appears to have entrusted the integration of this vision for a gentle, kind, reasonable re-reading of Revelation to one person. Whether by accident or by providence, that person is LLoL.
From risk assessment to action#
LLoL found it an unacceptably high risk that he is currently more likely to die in accidental nuclear winter than in a car crash (see his simulations). So he continued his quest for a solution he deemed workable enough to commit to fully. This led him to evolve a scalable approach, which led to his “Flying Scroll” poster exhibition, which led to this website and the global request for Buy-Ins. See Buy In for more details.

The wid-e research approach#
Note
This section is a placeholder. It will describe the wide interdisciplinary diversity-encouraging research methodology that LLoL used — what disciplines it draws on, why breadth matters for this kind of problem, and how it differs from conventional academic specialization.
The Great Filter Tribulation#
This website aims to inform, help with the review of details, and generally organize whatever is needed to get humanity safely through its Great Filter Tribulation — a combination of the existential Great Filter known in science and the Great Tribulation predicted to be the most distressing time of world history.
LLoL has sustained this research in part through humor — the divine cosmic jokes, as he describes them, that kept his spirits up during a five-year marathon focused on how to escape failure in averting existential disasters. This site invites everyone to choose their own adventure, because Revelation offers a choice that allows everyone to embark on their own hero journey, to leave slavery behind in quest for their individualized promised land.
