Suitable for the season and the story of Christmas, a workable insight that recognizes Julius Caesar(God), Cleopatra(Mary), Antony(Joseph) and Caesarion(Jesus) synthesized in elements of the story after seeing that Pompeii painting of Venus Genetrix and Eros.
Explains all sorts of ancient cultural spiritual inheritance and context for me.

it's similar to the plot of Jupiter Ascending

To be fair, this is an old concept. In Greek mythology, once the Titans were toppled, humans and human "labor" took the place of making the earth move through the cosmos. Robert Monroe popularized the modern version where human emotional energies, which are called loosh, are harvested and consumed by a layer of higher entities that could, but don't feel like, incarnating into human bodies anymore. That's sort of like a capitalist version of Samsara and Buddhist notions of karma as negative energy trapping us here to reincarnate until we work our way out of this realm. Honest question - are Samsara or loosh harvest not the Prison Planet framework you're coming from conceptually?

If you want me to think of it magickally, you have to spend that energy in exchange for magick to work. You're trading that energy to entities and daemons to get what you want when you invoke their names. So clearly it's both valuable and you have agency over its exchange. Cows don't barter their milk away on the farm for better feed and more outdoor time. If it's an energy I can protect and defend from being exploited, and use when I want how I want if I'm practiced and strong enough, then I'm not on a farm which is harvesting that energy against my will.

Also, wasn't Jupiter Rising a class allegory that just took big mythology and sci-fi themes and mixed them up together? Harvesting life-extending biological material is 100% based on wealthy people getting transfusions from children (a previous conspiracy theory version was harvesting adrenochrome), which is itself taken from the real practice of blood magick anyway.
