Date: 2025-05-24 09:32 pm (UTC)When presented with the prompt "Give names for three new deadly sins" ChatGPT provided this:
Here are three invented deadly sins, crafted in the spirit of the traditional seven, with a modern or philosophical twist:
1. Oblivaria (The Sin of Willful Ignorance)
Definition: The deliberate avoidance of truth, learning, or awareness—choosing comfort over understanding, even when ignorance harms others.
Symbolic Animal: The ostrich (head in the sand).
Color: Pale gray.
Punishment in a Mythical Afterlife: Eternally wandering a maze of mirrors, each showing a truth once ignored.
2. Vantagium (The Sin of Exploitative Opportunism)
Definition: Using power, charm, or intellect to manipulate situations purely for personal gain, regardless of cost to others.
Symbolic Animal: The spider.
Color: Tarnished gold.
Punishment in a Mythical Afterlife: Climbing an endless golden ladder that collapses with every step forward.
3. Nihilith (The Sin of Destructive Apathy)
Definition: Apathy so deep that it erodes hope, beauty, and meaning—not merely indifference, but the active draining of purpose from life.
Symbolic Animal: The vulture.
Color: Black-violet.
Punishment in a Mythical Afterlife: Trapped in a void where all voices echo with one's own emptiness.
