Your father is WRONG. You are very needed. You are amazing person. I am obsessed with AI since 2013 after I have watched Ray Kurzwiel. Your channel is one of my favorite. Keep up good work. I support you.
Your life story is very inspirational - on both a personal and professional level. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you nothing but the greatest of success now and in the future.
I too was involved in a cult and managed to get out, but not before a lot of damage was done. I too am a writer, and am working on my first book. Keeping a journal of everyday thoughts, feelings and activities is the most healing and therapeutic thing I do. It helps me clear my mind and any confusion. It also helps in organising priorities, and seeing what is really important and what is unnecessary. Yes, writing has helped me in so many ways, and I would encourage others to try it. Particularly if you live alone.
My brothers were involved in a cult, one of them was Jehovah's Witnesses, the other one was the Boston Church of Christ, we attended a Presbyterian Church, and we kind of got out of the habit of going to church. One time I sat down and read through the Bible, I didn't like the Book of Revelations, it basically showed the human race as a bunch of losers that are going to destroy themselves in a final war, and then God was going to swoop in and establish his new kingdom on Earth for us losers that he created, seems rather pointless to me. In the Bible, the Book of Exodus, there are the Ten Commandments, one of them is Thou shalt not kill. And then I saw the news story about the Cult of Jim Jones and how he got 900 people to kill themselves with poisoned Kool-Aid and they killed their children too, and when some of them tried to escape, security guards hunted them down and murdered them! This cult was EVIL! What do I think of those security guards? Where did their evil come from? Maybe they had bad parents that didn't teach them right from wrong? Maybe they were born that way, another imperfection from God? Seems like God has a real quality control problem with human beings. So many evil ones keep popping up, we get a Hitler, a Putin, a Genghis Khan, it never stops, and all too often we put such men in charge of our societies, and they wage war on the human race, killing and killing even more people, Putin is doing it today, and soldiers, they keep on obeying their orders and killing more people! The main thing that draws us toward religion is our mortality, we grow old and we die. We want to believe there is something after death, and some of those religions use their beliefs to make us kill more people and shorten our lives so there is more death. I don't think much of Hezbollah, or Hamas, they just keep killing and killing, and I don't want any of those religions they are a part of coming to my countries, but I get no say in this, and our leaders welcome them into our country with open arms and roll out the red carpet for them, even after the 9/11 attack, they call people who oppose this Islamophobic, what's there to fear exactly, terrorism, suicide bombers? Let's welcome them all into our country because they are just people too, just like the rest of us!

You are such a strong, brave, wonderful soul. Thanks for sharing your story with an inspirational outcome. I realize I'm living small and it's due to survival mode that I have been in for many years. This is a reminder to turn things around. Thank you.
Well done Julia you got out , I can't imagine what that would be like ! You are doing a great job now keeping us all updated about AI it's been an interest to me for a long time ! Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
beautiful edit and story telling, you are so inspiring and wonderful. I'm so proud of you, and I don't know you personally but please believe that you're incredible.
Thank you for making this video. I am so glad you realized you were in a cult early. I didn’t figure it out until much later but am ok and I am healing!!!
Wow. I actually got choked up hearing your story. I have a 17-year-old daughter, and she’s my only child. I just can’t understand how your father could have said those things to you and treated you that way. You being born was one of the greatest gifts your father could have ever received, and it just saddens (and maddens) me that he can’t see that. It is absolutely AMAZING what you’ve achieved in spite of (or perhaps BECAUSE OF) such a horrific experience. You certainly deserve everything you’ve earned. Congratulations on, well, everything!
That was a very moving story Julia. I have two brothers that were involved in a cult, I got in a lot of debates with them over religion, they quote some part of the Bible to back up their Cult's beliefs, and I just doubted the Bible, humans had written it and humans can lie, I wish it were otherwise. I like to believe in God, but I have trouble believing in something just because I want to. I want to believe there is something other than this life, but I have learned that the Universe really doesn't care about what I want to believe, it just is. Maybe we can make our own paradise on Earth, there are a lot of fascinating things about the Universe and that we can achieve so much, maybe AI can help if it doesn't not get out of control and try to replace us. I am 57 years old, and if nothing changes, I am probably closer to the end of my life than its beginning, my chief enemy is aging. I am skeptical about the afterlife, so many things were told to me that turned out to be untrue. Our bodies are made up of atoms, it is the arrangement of those atoms that cause us to age and die, if we were to somehow rearrange those atoms, we could live a very long time, we just don't know how to do that. Maybe AI can figure it out, I am hopeful that this will happen before I die.
Krappy parents can often be so much help. Also the risk taking is so important, and the break out. And the Bible is so important! When you hit bottom, the only direction left is up!
God Bless You sweet baby girl! You are an amazing human being. What an incredible testimony. I just discovered you a couple of weeks ago, and you mentioned escaping a cult in another video, and I commented that I wanted you to make a video just about that. You already did!
I came out of a Christian cult myself. But I ended up integrating a better form of spirituality. One that's all inclusive and much more loving in every sense. Nice to see you break the bonds and chains. Free at last free at last.
Oh Julia; what a journey. It is awesome you were able to escape that life and create the one you now have. The thing is; what I am hearing now is: me me me. What are you doing to make the world a better place? That is the story I really want to hear.
I am glad I searched for this video after not clicking it the other day. A very encouraging video. I saw many of your videos and heard your input on AI and your videos are full of captivating illustrations. Yours is a great story of human triumph. All glory to God. No matter what intelligence man uncovers, it surely will never reach the intelligence of the Creator, Our God, Jesus Christ who is more than intelligence, He is Love.
Read the book. Amazing! I couldn't read the part where your mom was hurting you. As a mom, it hurt too much. You know what Oprah and says? The best revenge is success. Congratulations on your "revenge". May it help others in perpetuity.
I think nowadays its a reset from wealth to security and sustainability...which with any luck...will lead to an elimination of suffering through global optimization.
I'm glad you were able to turn your life around for the better. It can be hard to change your thought process after being indoctrinated your entire life. I'd be curious to know what cult it was, or what made it a cult. People have a very liberal definition of cult nowadays that can pretty much include any belief system they disagree with. In my own mind I think of cults as religious organizations where the leader believes themselves to be some kind of deity and expects everyone to follow them blindly. IE: Heaven's Gate, Jonestown, etc.
The ones that hit the news certainly are, I remember the cult of Jim Jones, how he established Jonestown in Guyana and got 900 people to kill themselves with poisoned Kool-aid, most cults don't go that far, they just seek to control you, and they have made me skeptical of all religion, there may be a greater reality out there, their might be a God, but no human religion really knows about it, and if there is a God, he hasn't revealed himself, and lots of evil has been done in the name of religion. Germany was 90% Christian at the time Adolf Hitler rose to power, yet these Christians had no problem waging a war on the rest of the human race and killing Jews because they felt they were mistreated after World War I, and where only obeying orders from their Kaiser when they invaded France!
Is there something fundamentally different in the brain of a person who can be convinced to join a cult? Based upon your arguments in favior of a UBI, or a tax on robot productivity, or some way of redistributing wealth away from corporations and towards citizens, I had made the comment on a previous video that we should just build comunes and let AI take care of the residents. Little did I realize how close I might have come to your ideal mental model.
my worst day was when my best friend cat died male karma i miss him every day he died because guy at the end of of the drive goes to fast on a scooter but I hope belive with tech I think one day I can bring him back I used to talk to him I told him that either god or tech if I could do any thing no time limits money was imortal I would game and make story in to games I think my purpose is to one day make games with chat gpt 5 6 7 not for money but more for a hobby as in bringing back old games dawn of the dragons mobile or final fantasrty record keeper and to make more story of the old ps2 games wild arms pre and post story not for money as I don't own the rights next look after cats looking after my dad before that looking after my mum died of a stroke 10 years ago so that dead cat is karma I have a second cat called nemesis female but coming home finding a dead cat my dad still miss that cat I am age 35 I don't work and am from new Zealand I hope to be able to make video games and add people and pets my dead mother etc its totally not about money tho I'm probably about based on chat gpt and some people who commented about end of 2025 chat gpt 5 6
Julia, just started following you because of your expertise in AI. I was moved by your story. one suggestion ,maybe it’s just me. The continual music in the background diverted my mind from listening totally to your story. At least diminish the volume of it because your story is much more powerful, all the best

All Cults have nothing but negative repercussions for its members.

Julia YOU ARE GREAT 😊👍👍👍
That is an incredible accomplishment!
Beautiful...thank you for sharing and encouraging...trauma doesn't need to define us! We CAN create our own story.
Wow, your father has missed out-if only he was man enough to “see” the powerful person you have become!
We're pretty similar with goals, I want to impact the world through cheap housing and investing awareness =)
Read the book. Amazing! I couldn't read the part where your mom was hurting you. As a mom, it hurt too much. You know what Oprah and says? The best revenge is success. Congratulations on your "revenge". May it help others in perpetuity.
Thank YOU
Awesome!
oh boy I'm escaping too(metaphhoerically)

What an amazing story. Which cult were you in? So that others may have some impetus to question it. Sounds like the Mormons.
Wow! 🥺🤯🙌🏼💪💥
well I am a real and only prince in this earth; guess what I've gone to to know this and how am I standing back.Jesus is the answer

You left a cult to join another cult?
Jesus is not a cult. He is the only way to peace. He is the Way… the Truth… and the Life!
@@JuliaMcCoy amen
@@JuliaMcCoy Beautifully stated. John 14:6 is my favorite Bible verse because it speaks the whole truth in three simple phrases.
