Love to explore and challenge ideas. Believe honest, well intentioned discourse connects and enlightens those involved. Life is too rich to be on single tract.

@XaiKeursang @FLangheck @RadioGenova Faith is more a concept of post-rationality, not pre-rationality. The human mind has it’s limits of computation and perception. To live in synch with naturals law and patterns beyond that limit requires faith. “Blind faith” is concept formed by atheists or bad religious people.

Views actually do hurt. Not maintaining standards of truth and logic have serious cultural consequences. It may not be apparent from the inception, but they do have serious downstream effects. So maintaining and supporting Owen’s “investigation” as some sort of coherent framework for geopolitical interplay is not isolated. It is training millions of people to mistake “patterns” or “interesting coincidences” as truth claims. It’s just lazy.

@EricJohnJacobss @Mennepen86 @ianmiles In retrospect...I should've used a different analogy. I don't particularly subscribe to their views of science and physics...but I respect them just the same. So what? No one is getting hurt, so I'm cool.

JD Vance slams Candace Owens and others attacking Erika Kirk for blaming her for Charlie Kirk's murder. "The people telling you Erika wasn't grieving are full of shit and we need to be honest about that fact." "To say that Erika Kirk wasn't grieving her husband on that day, to say that Erika Kirk was somehow complicit in it is so preposterous, and so disgusting, and it's one of the things that has broken the American public conversation in the last six months." "If you're one of the people going after Erika Kirk and not the people who are trying to destroy the United States of America, you're part of the problem and not part of the solution."

@EdCorrigan31633 @Mennepen86 @ianmiles So funny you are the one blaming the other of flat earth leve logic. Go watch “Beyond the Curve”. Then reflect on the content you are consuming and the conclusions you are coming to

@Mennepen86 @ianmiles Everything has been "debunked" in your world. The litany of absurd excuses and ridiculous rationale reminds me of flat earthers who won't accept the truth no matter what evidence is presented.

The claim is misleading on current policy and exaggerates the dollar’s role. The Fed is not raising rates to fight wartime inflation. It has held the federal funds rate steady at 3.5–3.75% since late 2025 after earlier cuts, with no active tightening cycle. The DXY sits near 98, far from “ultimate price setter” strength levels that would crush global demand. While a stronger dollar can contribute to demand destruction in emerging markets, today’s elevated oil prices (around $90–100+/barrel) stem primarily from supply shocks like the Strait of Hormuz disruptions, not dollar-driven affordability alone. Demand destruction is one moderating force, but far from the “only thing” preventing $200 oil. Supply responses, inventories, potential geopolitical resolutions, and long-term surpluses provide stronger caps.

@EricJohnJacobss @eagle_eye_ATL @BjorkquistKarl The US Dollar is the ultimate price setter. As the Fed raises rates to fight war time inflation, the Dollar gets stronger, making oil priced in USD prohibitively expensive for developing nations.This triggers Demand Destruction, the only thing currently keeping prices from $200

In a nutshell, oil is globally priced. We could subsidize here at home, but would hurt us economically and self-sufficiently. Comes from same school of thought as tariffs. So we could have cheap oil, but it would cost us in SOOO many other downstream ways. To explain any deeper you all have to struggle through economic schools of thought.

Explain to me how price per barrel is factored. Where does that come from? What agreements, counties, companies and monetary policies decide? Yes, things could improve but just bitching about $4.12 and evil corporations making profits does nothing to improve situation. Educate yourself on petroleum politics and energy power dynamics and leverage in a global trade economy and then share your insights to help move the ball.

My friend…read a book. Get out of the rabbit hole. This will get you a rough idea of what “got us into this mess”. Adam Smith – An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Alexander Hamilton – Report on the Subject of Manufactures David Ricardo – On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation Karl Marx – Capital (Das Kapital) John Maynard Keynes – The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money Friedrich Hayek – The Road to Serfdom

@EricJohnJacobss @BjorkquistKarl Who wrote these economics books you are suggesting that people read? Cambridge University Press? Owned by The Penguin Random House? Controlled by the Mohn family? Connected to the Bertelsmann media group? These same books that got us in this mess in the first place?

I’m going to suggest reading some economics theory books. Looking into the different schools of economics. Look at geopolitical trade agreement and the history behind them. An answer would be wasted without deeper understandings of these things. The answer is out there. Just won’t be easy to understand it, but nothing worthwhile is easy.

@BjorkquistKarl Fair enough, you replied. All respect. But you did not answer the question Let's take this route: CA is the largest exporter of oranges Canada is the largest consumer of CA oranges Yet, the cost of an orange in CA is more per LB than in Canada Same point I am making

This is the worst representation of sleep training. It is the argumentation someone who is new and uncertain uses to feel more certain. Sleep training has nothing to do with prefrontal cortex. It has nothing to do with a newborn. It has nothing to do with exhaustion or giving up on life. You are a new parent. You are experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect. Embrace the uncertainty. Stay curious and attentive to what family life reveals to you. If you release your certainty, you will become something you can’t even imagine the glory of. If you hold into certainty, your expectations will not be met, you will blame and resent and you will not grow. Congratulations on the new child. You are embarking on one of life’s most remarkable adventures.

"sleep training" a newborn means letting a defenseless baby scream for its mother in the dark until it's either exhausted or has given up on life. the attachment literature is clear that before 6 months, a baby crying with nobody coming learns exactly one thing, that calling for help doesn't work and you even have parents bragging about how they tortured their kid into an 8h sleep you need to attend to every need of your child. they don't have a prefrontal cortex able to understand what's happening. if you love them and care for them, they'll barely cry, and when they do there's a clear reason you can address right away

@IterIntellectus Sleep trained both my sons using the Ferber method. It allows you to acknowledge and briefly comfort them allowing them to fall asleep. Took three days for each. Zero downsides.

@noetic_healing Man. I'm sorry. You are no better than me at geopolitics. You're insights over time may be the most dumb of any Orthodox person with a large following. It's embarrassing. Would you please just use your real name or take the word Orthodoxy out of it and make a political accnt?

@EricJohnJacobss @russ_strahota @XFreeze anyone still defending stainless steel for starship missed the memo, carbon fiber is what actual advanced rockets use, switching to heavy old school metal was the biggest engineering backslide in years and proves they couldnt hack the real future stuff

Everyone thought the future was carbon fiber Elon Musk looked at the physics and chose stainless steel for Starship instead Sounds insane.... until you realize stainless gets stronger at cryogenic temperatures, handles reentry heat better, and costs massively less than advanced composites. It doesn't even need paint He chose a material that is faster to build, easier to weld, tougher in extreme conditions, and built for rapid iteration Classic Elon: ignore convention, trust first-principles engineering, and pick the solution everyone else missed He is taking science fiction and making it real. Building things that only existed in imagination, and pushing them to the absolute limits of physics
