@anishmoonka The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the only power that can break the second law of thermodynamics Entropy can be reversed through faith

Your body replaces 98% of its atoms every year. Within five years, every single one is swapped out. The you from 2021 is physically gone. Not "mostly gone." Gone. The atoms that used to be your face are now part of the air, the ocean, somebody else's lunch. Oak Ridge National Laboratory proved this in 1953. Your skin right now is about a month old. Your liver, six weeks. Your stomach lining regrows every five days. Your skeleton is completely different from ten years ago. A few atoms do stick around for life, buried in some brain cells, in parts of your heart, and in your tooth enamel. Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden tracked them using leftover radiation from 1950s nuclear bomb tests. The oldest surviving piece of "you" lives in your brain, your heart, and your teeth. Your brain is also erasing you. On purpose. A neuroscientist named Ron Davis at Scripps Research found that the brain has cells that release dopamine, the same chemical you feel after a good meal or a win, and use it to dissolve memories. When his team shut these cells off in test animals, they remembered twice as much. The chemical behind your best feelings is the same one shredding your past, and it never stops running. Ebbinghaus proved this back in 1885. You lose about half of everything you learn within one hour. A 2020 study from Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute had people live through a real experience and then checked how much they kept. At best, about a quarter. 75% of the details of your own life are being actively wiped by the organ that is supposed to be keeping track of it all. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Squeeze all of it into one calendar year, with the Big Bang on January 1st, and humans show up at 11:52 PM on New Year's Eve. Your whole life, every birthday and breakup and boring Tuesday, lasts 0.17 seconds on that calendar. Not even long enough to blink. Stars will keep burning for about a hundred trillion more years, then the fuel runs out and the lights go off everywhere. The last things left will be black holes, places where gravity is so strong not even light can escape. Even those slowly leak away over a number of years so large you would need a hundred zeros to write it. After the last one is gone, nothing is left. No light, no warmth, nothing bumping into anything else, ever again. The universe reaches total stillness and stays there. Forever. Brian Cox once described the window where life can even exist as one-thousandth of a billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth of a percent of the universe's total run time. You are in that window right now. Built from borrowed atoms, running on a brain shredding its own records, here for a fifth of a second on a cosmic calendar that ends in permanent silence. Anyway, hope your Tuesday is going alright.

@AutismCapital Get baptized

How do we go long Mormonism?

Been an epic run for Mormons recently

@SecScottBessent @SenateDems SIGNAL

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down. @SenateDems could learn something from that.

@theonevortex @MartyBent "their"?

@MartyBent I mean 1/3rd of the country can't receive their benefits but yah...

The government has been shut down for 27 days and I don't notice any material degradation in my life. Let's keep it going.

@HodlersWay This one? x.com/TheBTCTherapis…

Sometime between 2011 - 2013, I saw a short vid about a young guy living in a tent in his family backyard. He was doing all kinds of odd jobs, collecting aluminium cans and stuff to sell, so he could buy more bitcoins. I’ve searched all my old hard drives, YouTube and the net but I can’t find it. Maybe the lad accumulated so much he scrubbed his presence entirely😎 Does anyone remember it? Did you see it? Can you retweet please? I’m compiling footage for a project. I’ve got a hilarious recording of my housemate and me arguing about our monthly internet data. I’m trying to convince her Bitcoin is going to save the world and she is not at all impressed.

Is anyone else getting 10 spam calls a day, telling you your loan is approved, and to call back to finalize it?

@austinmcraig It's such a perfectly emblematic of his presidency. Ugly and lacking soul

That’s a Bond villain lair. Half expecting to see a missile silo built in.

@Manhattva @glennbeck Absolutely based

Watch 45 seconds of @glennbeck being absolutely based. If you know, you know. YouTube link below.

@austinmcraig @ArtemisConsort "I'm a leader" 😂

@ArtemisConsort I don’t understand A) ehy this woman had a meltdown in an absolute softball interview, or B) how anybody could ever vote for her.

The obvious right answer here is “while I will inevitably disagree with many of my constituents on many issues, I will always have their best interests in mind as I work for the benefit of all Californians” So easy. Instead, she had a temper tantrum.

@TokensMagazine So you mean: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who DOES the will of my Father who is in heaven." and "the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?"

Being a Mormon is so easy Just don’t do nothing bad And you’re good

@TokensMagazine @Ch_JesusChrist Bad take.

President Trump has done more for Christians around the world than the worldwide Church of Jesus Christ who call themselves God’s true church upon the earth @Ch_JesusChrist

It’s not symmetrical at all. The Left is feminine coded. It’s a feminine trait to affirm. People on the Left feel the need to affirm everyone in their tribe, or anybody presenting as downtrodden. So if anyone in-group deviates notably, it isn’t well received. Over time this has narrowed the Overton Window on the Left. It’s partly why Charlie Kirk was so threatening. He wouldn’t affirm anything he didn’t genuinely believe of his own mind and worldview, and would draw out even minor distinctions between similar views. This was always done in a tone of friendly debate, but was still culturally alien. It wasn’t affirming. The Right is masculine coded. It’s a masculine trait to prove. People on the Right have no problem saying “I disagree with you, let’s hash this out. Prove it.” Call it debate, intellectual sparring, civil dialogue, whatever. The Right is perfectly comfortable disagreeing. As a result, the Overton Window on the Right is much bigger than the Left. It’s the “big tent” party now for that reason. It’s how Musk, RFK Jr, Gabbard and others were able to join. Do they agree on everything? Obviously not, but they also understand that they don’t need to agree 100% to make progress toward their mostly-mutual goals. The result of all this: The Left, in their fervor to affirm and welcome the downtrodden, have drifted further left to affirm and welcome ideological radicals agreeable to their priors. They’ve also narrowed the range of acceptable speech/thought. The Right then exists in territory so far away from what the Left will even *look* at that it ALL looks like “far right” extremism to them. That’s how a politically moderate Christian Conservative like Charlie Kirk gets called a “Nazi, bigot, Fascist,” etc. and the whole Left believes it. They 1) Won’t examine his remarks themselves, even though it’s ALL available, archived, unedited, and easy to find, and 2) Must affirm each other, their leaders, and the weakest and most radical among them. If a particularly fragile person says “he made me FEEL UNSAFE!” then the entire tribe must AFFIRM that person’s feelings because all feelings are valid (even if the feeling is asserting something counterfactual)! I don’t suppose it’s always been like this. But it is definitely like this now. Everybody on the Right has been through the Left’s ideological landscape, spent time there, travelled those lands, watched their movies, listened to their arguments, and concluded it’s emotionally motivated nonsense. They don’t have much use for it. That is not at all true of The Left. The Left are afraid of the Right’s ideological landscape, both because it’s more wild and openly hostile by nature, but more importantly, they can’t go there because their peers on the Left will judge them for even *looking* at it. The modern American Left is a bizarrely insular, uncurious, histrionic tribe that doesn’t even understand itself, but will feverishly enforce its unquestioned rules. Another word one might use for that kind of group is a “cult.”

@austinmcraig Excellent post

@PressSec This is a disaster, we want annual

To be clear: 1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition. 2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter. H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation. 3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders. It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.

@jonharris1989 Based

@austinmcraig Unrivaled

Trump’s ability to generate—seemingly with zero conscious effort—unbelievably iconic images, continuously, with him at the center… Can anybody else in American society do this? The only comparisons are entertainers who carefully choreograph their photo shoots in studio.

@BowTiedGatorDDS Can we order these to give out to friends to try?

Calling all dentist friends! We made 100,000 of these little tubes with a few NOBS for people to try. I want to give each office 2,000 to give out to patients in the goodie bag after their cleaning. I’m giving these away. If you’re interested just reply to this post.

@jameslavish Thank you for your attention to this matter

Good evening. The US added half a trillion dollars of federal debt in the last 30 days. Have a great night.

@Manhattva @AlexEpstein He said that with the second line

@AlexEpstein Then why didn’t he just say only 20% of world’s energy needs our electricity? I think you are being entirely too generous with the stupidity of this tweet.

It’s always advisable to try to understand someone’s argument before trashing them. Especially if that someone is Chris Wright, who knows a lot about energy. Wright’s point is that only 20% of global energy use today is electricity, and solar panels just generate electricity. So with today’s energy economy, even if you had enough solar panels to cover all electricity—or even if you had far, far more—you still wouldn’t be providing 80% of energy. What Wright wasn’t saying, but that his statement was interpreted by many as saying, was: “There’s not enough space on Earth to have all its energy generated by solar.” While using solar does create real, costly land issues, there is for sure enough space on Earth for solar to generate way more kilowatt-hours of raw energy than humans use in all our machines. The main reasons we don’t use that much solar are: 1) The versatility problem Wright is alluding to: Electricity as such isn’t yet good for many things, most obviously flying planes, powering container ships, etc. 2) The classic intermittency problem: Solar isn’t a stored, on-demand, independent electricity source, and batteries are prohibitively expensive to make it one for the foreseeable future. (For a full explanation of these issues, see Chapters 5-6 of my book Fossil Future.) I, Chris Wright, and other advocates of energy freedom wish solar the best; we just feel compelled to point out its limitations because opponents of energy freedom try to justify subsidies and mandates for solar based on fantasies about its cost-effectiveness and versatility. As the pro-freedom side says over and over, insofar as solar has anywhere near the potential many claim it does, then it shouldn’t need subsidies, mandates, or any other form of government preference. So why can’t we all agree on energy freedom?
