(startup general counsel) Warmly critical. Opinion is a vice. Views are a public good. Truth-seeking means disciplined mystery. Art abides tension. Jesus is it.

@wagglethorpe @philosophysage “Seek God” can’t be among the side quests bc it’s the main quest. You were designed by God, who is Love, only to be fulfilled by Him. You will be perfect when you see Him as He is. Your life is hidden in Him. He knows the work for which he made you. Seek God. The rest will follow

You’re bored because you don’t do side quests, bro. Life is more than just work and bed rotting. Here are 50 side quests to complete:

@ToriatheistTori No Reality, the Measure of everything and everyone, is a person who is Love and wants to reconcile with those who think they hate it Look up the Heb, Greek words for sin. “Missing the mark” Basic human bias abhors change, wants ignorance Reality offers wisdom, fulfillment

@AdrianDittmann Can capitalistic principles work? Yes, when governed well, better than the alternatives. The problem: Capitalism doesn’t exist. It’s an ideal. Republicans have no intent to enact it. Its purpose, for them, is as a red herring when people critique the power consolidation reality.

So The Christian God didn’t need a woman to create Adam, yet he needed a woman to create himself as Jesus Christ through Virgin Mary. Make it make sense.😅

@5Solas2 It’s weird this needs to be said But it makes sense, when you think about it, why most preachers aren’t prioritizing saying it

@ToriatheistTori Needed? I have not read this in scripture Also I’m lost what this is supposed to prove The whole point theologically was that Jesus was descended from the same flesh as Adam

@kaizen000000000 Any finite beings’ failure to offer comprehension of a proposed infinite incomprehensible means nothing more than anyone’s inability to prove an unbounded negative non-belief vs belief debate is obviated by basic logic

@Ernest1588761 If you gotta re-word it to make it look like a contradiction ..? I bet you agree with both. People claim to be good, but do evil = wrong People realize they’re evil, and want to be changed = good Calling on God to help you is not the same thing as telling God he’s your Lord.

@JadeK526 Nope. That’s agnosticism. Atheism is the maintained affirmative assertion that there is no God, commonly held as basis for the categorical denial that any observation could ever make it reasonable to believe otherwise, usually circularly held as basis for the former.

This is exactly right. I’m so grateful to find myself among those building the nervous system

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era. Almost nobody understood what he said. Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.” Not tech startups. The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees. The businesses that actually run the physical economy. They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it. Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.” Software is dead. The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever. AI ends the contract. The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business. But customized by whom. The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is. Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?” That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves. Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer. Let them fight. Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero. Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built. It collects where the brain meets the business. Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic. Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy. Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates. Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue. That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born. You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system. The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in. 33 million companies are standing in the dark right now. Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

@SonofManwithus It doesn’t say which virgins were “believers” Saving faith is from Jesus (Heb 12); you can ask Him for it (Mk 9:24) Jesus, Paul, James agree it causes good works. Works don’t save; salvation is for works (Matt 5:16, Eph 2:10) Saved ppl can miss out on other things (1Co 3)

I need some help. I know the writings of the new Testament say we are saved by grace not works but..... There are many passages about repentance and an expectation of following and serving. Even the parable of the ten virgins indicate some believers will miss out. So what's the deal?

@DavidJHarrisJr He never said those exact words, the second part, but it’s a debatably accurate paraphrase of all the combined things he said to religious power If you want, I can try to cobble together the verses

@TheSkepticWiz Hard agree. That’s one of the most absurd things about humanist modernist systemic theology and apologetics. Proofs are for things you can understand end to end, or test repeatably God is not described in any scripture as having attributes we could test and prove like that

@AtheistTakes Not true in my experience with atheists Lack of belief in a proposition is agnosticism as to that proposition. Lack of belief is can be curious w/o committing Atheism is an asserted belief discipline maintaining the nonnegotiable affirmative belief that there is no God

@AlexDuncanTX in a free country, businesses will cater to each side of entrenched belief differences Jesus attacked a market that paywalled God. But attack, economic or other, isn’t a way to win the minds, hearts, and souls at stake It entrenches unbelief tribalism. History is an open book

Texas based HEB is a disgrace for pandering to Islam. As the Islamic invasion continues to rage on, HEB decided it would be a good idea to cater to Islam by offering Halal. It’s absolutely disgusting!

@MeachamDr Science uses the weirdly consistent principles built into a surprisingly observable universe There is, flatly, no contradiction between science and faith in a God who consistently urges it on I will give you this: Glenn Beck is cringe
