@andrewklavan @RealMattFradd @SouthPark @SpencerKlavan I'm an actual listener of yours, and LDS Christian. Try to see the perspective of people who at their core believe in and follow Jesus Christ, but are constantly othered, mocked, and attacked by people who also claim to be Christian. I have a sense of humor. This is not funny.

@PeterNDecker @JaredHWood @AntHoneyJakes @NotYourBishop I went to school pursuing an education from like 5 years old through 31 trying to figure out what I was missing. Came out the other end with different beliefs, but a real desire and motivation to help people. You don’t know me, so shut the hell up.

Guys I really need prayers 🥺. Yesterday, my son turned 18. I went to wish him Happy Birthday only to find his things gone & a 5 pg letter telling me he hates me & he's leaving the church. This came out of nowhere. He's been lying to everyone for over a year. I'm shattered. #LDSX

@JaredHWood @AntHoneyJakes @NotYourBishop How do you know it wasn’t worthy of excommunication? It was worthy of a $5M fine, over billions of dollars that are supposedly sacred. What’s the process for determining the repentance process for apostles and prophets? Do they investigate their own behavior?

@RosendahlJohn78 @RobTumaini @PositiveP3TE @0xDesigner Dude, you are ideologically captured. I'm a conservative. This isn't about politics. I don't use chatgpt or grok, I use Claude, because it works for projects that matter to me professionally. Right or left, at least think for yourself.

@RobTumaini @PeterNDecker @PositiveP3TE @0xDesigner I know that you tard. He's about what solves the problem now. I'm talking what the product should be. The problem for him is that grok blows wokeGPT out of the water every time. Grok isn't corrupt with anti white racism, anti male sexism and not intentionally lying.

@barrelagedfaith @HarkHugh @gospel_lens 1st Nephi reads like a new king justifying his position despite being a younger son. Literary analysis identifies many distinct narrative voices throughout the Book of Mormon, which you expect in a collection of ancient records.

@HarkHugh @gospel_lens Yes, it reads like a CHATGPT summary of the Gospel account. Nephi does not read like the Old Testament prophets. but rather 19th century fiction.

The biggest thorn in the side of Mormonism is that its historical claims lack plausibility at an insane level. You don't have to be C.S. Lewis to recognize this (someone who even wrote a book on Miracles). Joseph Smith discovering a bunch of lost ancient texts in New York is a difficult place to begin the story. Skepticism only increases when you read the first book of Mormon, 1 Nephi, which quotes large sections of the Gospel while Nephi is a prophet from 600 years before the Gospels were written. Wow, these predictions are 5 thousand times more accurate than Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel combined! (Nephi references Nazareth, the Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, the Baptism of the Lord, and the 12 Apostles, and the Crucificxion all within a few verses of each other!) 1 Nephi 11 - "And I beheld the city of Nazareth; and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she was exceedingly fair and white.... 18 And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh... 27 And I looked and beheld the Redeemer of the world, of whom my father had spoken; and I also beheld the prophet who should prepare the way before him. And the Lamb of God went forth and was baptized of him; and after he was baptized, I beheld the heavens open, and the Holy Ghost come down out of heaven and abide upon him in the form of a dove... 29 And I also beheld twelve others following him.... 33 And I, Nephi, saw that he was lifted up upon the cross and slain for the sins of the world.

@PositiveP3TE @RosendahlJohn78 @0xDesigner It irritates me when people blame the tool instead of the user. Leading ai models currently give excellent results for uses they were designed for. When they fail, it is often the human user who doesn't understand the limitations and work around them.

@BuzWeaver @0xDesigner Okay, I'll give you this one - ai is still bad at pictures, but this is also dependent on the model and continues to improve quickly. Their true competence is coding.

@PeterNDecker @0xDesigner This is very true, and even in my illustration I had to reduce the instruction, but when I instructed ChatGPT, it messes up. The worst part is having to repeat, acknowledge first before rendering, to not render till instructed. It gets it wrong 90% of the time.

@RosendahlJohn78 @0xDesigner no, my expectation is that people who don't know how to give directions well will fail just as much with ai as they do with humans.

@PeterNDecker @RosendahlJohn78 @0xDesigner Even fewer can inspect the work competently. Forgive me Peter, but you’re an idiot if you believe that you’ve ever had acceptable work out of an LLM. Not qualified to manage a hot dog stand.

@RosendahlJohn78 @0xDesigner Failure to properly follow unclear instructions is a very human trait. Perhaps you don't have much experience telling people what to do and how to do it?

@PeterNDecker @0xDesigner The point of it is that it should mimic humans so you don't have to communicate that clearly. It should be adapted to us, not the other way around.

@Rebel4YHWH76 @Sam_Fidler @MilkToastOnRye But he created all of us, right? Including the ones who wouldn't choose him. So he created people who were certain to burn in hell? Correct me if I'm misunderstanding your position

@Sam_Fidler @MilkToastOnRye God says scenario one is not possible for man. Scenario 2 demonstrates that God graciously gives to some what they do not deserve and cannot earn apart from His gracious loving kindness.

This is your reminder that, no matter how much some modern Mormons object, LDS “grace” comes by your own obedience

@Alex_Ortodoxie Joseph Smith told young girls that an angel threatened him with a sword if they did not sleep with him, and if they refused, them and their families would be damned. If that's not demonic, I don't know what is.

Mormonism is demonic
Thoughtful-Faith@ThoughtfulSaint

Hey @PastorMark you continually call Mormonism demonic. So I would like see if you are willing to stand by those claims publicly. I would like to offer a public debate on the following question. Is Mormonism Demonic? Also You talk regularly about masculine Christianity … well, a real man is willing to stand by his public claims and defend them. Are you?

@brivael Your playground analogy doesn’t take into consideration if a child is handicapped, or if they kids are taught to be bullies, or if one of the kids is actually the size of an adult.

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital. Cette phrase change tout. L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ? Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible. Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur. Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé. Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire. L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants. Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution. Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain. Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée. Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien. La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose. Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins. Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires. La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.
