@ClarkeMicah @Marblechops79 People where instructed since childhood to invent their own meaning and purpose, they did..

.@marblechops79 Mad people very often attach themselves to causes. It makes them feel important. If you take these ravings seriously you are deluding yourself and closing your mind to a) the fact that they are mad and b) the question of why there are so many more mad people nowadays.

@ClarkeMicah Rightly or wrongly, my opinion is that any attack that is influenced by ideological roots can be termed terrorism The Koran and the Hadiths do promote outgroup hatreds

@romanhelmetguy @pmarca Restrained directed passion is far more potent then diffuse passion that needs to be constantly exuded.
English
@pmarca People will tell you that stoicism isn’t about apathy. Those people don’t know that “apathy” is a Greek loanword that comes to us from the Stoics. Apatheia. It was the Stoics’ highest ideal. And it literally means “lack of passion.”
English
Many people are (suddenly) saying.
Roman Helmet Guy@romanhelmetguy
Stoicism is popular because apathy is the sickness of our age and stoicism glorifies it. Stoicism is cope for living in a dying society. Stoicism is managed decline. You need to become anti-stoic. You need to become so passionate it’s self-destructive.

@pmarca Caginess is not apathy or acceptance of defeat its focusing and restraining power so it can be unleased with wisdom at the moment of maximum advantage..

@better86310 @JoelWebbon @GroyperGreg @webbons35209 Becouse our ruling class requires ambiguity in everything. They seed every nascent movement with there agents. Worse is most of these agents are unaware of their role in disrupting and fragmenting dissident movements.
English
@JoelWebbon @GroyperGreg @webbons35209 Boldness is required. Right or wrong God favors clear distinctions so he can reward or rebuke them according to his will.. It's Demons who take comfort in ambiguity in the greyness between right and wrong a space where they can act according to their own desires..
English
@GroyperGreg @webbons35209 Really appreciate this.
I was hesitant to go to today’s event, but after much prayer I sensed the Lord wanted me to go on one condition: I speak the truth with such boldness that at least half the room is fuming with anger.
By God’s grace, mission accomplished.

@JoelWebbon Explicitly Christena patriarchal orders needed the groundwork and foundations must set. Taking control the current political system without a solid foundation will not produce what is required of us. This will take generations a century of building virtue systems..

It’s not enough to be known for what we’re against. We must have a positive vision.

@Ami61495883 @ClarkeMicah The spreading out of industrial capacity and suburban homes utilizes labor more efficiently. The enormous cost of dense urban infrastructure is seldom accounted for nor the hindrances to family formation and family size.

@Jasonohoe @ClarkeMicah Whatever their original purpose they made individual mobility exponentially easier- people who might have 'stayed on the farm' were freer to tool around the country looking for a better fit with their talents and desires.
English
Well, I disagree.@ami61495883 Eisenhower fell into the arms of the car lobby and imposed huge costs on US federal taxpayers to create a nationalised highway network. I think people could get off their farms before Henry Ford bult his first jalopy.
Vestigaliberal aka Joe Davis@Ami61495883
@ClarkeMicah Well this is a fallacious argument and unresponsive. I didn’t say cars created our freedoms but that they augment it as demonstrated by the millions it provided a way off the farms and access to this continental country and the incredible dynamism it unleashed

Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all.
I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem.
While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives.
My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition.
Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.
Just Jim@JimsTweets
Do Homeschool kids just like, not have to take tests or exams or get grades? How does the government know if the child is actually getting an education and not just like, being neglected

@AuronMacintyre Strong healthy people would not consent to being ruled over by the degenerate and wiked..
English
In “Chartism” Thomas Carlyle introduced the “condition of England” question
He was writing during the industrialization of England and his point was that raw economic data was insufficient to determine the quality of life that most people were living
You had to go beyond the carefully selected statistics and actually do the hard work of meeting and knowing the working class
If you did that you would see that despite higher overall economic output the average working Englishman was living a terrible quality of life
We’ve gotten much better at manipulating data since Carlyle wrote his pamphlet so the problem has only become more severe
Carefully selected economic indicators do not actually tell you what quality of life most people are living
For that you have to walk into a Walmart and talk to the people who shop there, something our elites would rather die that do

@Sargon_of_Akkad Can't use Oriental becouse a hundred and more years ago mass hepatitis and the physical features of low standard of living/diet created caricatures that where easy to mock..
English
I never understood why "oriental" was considered a bad word. Its a cool sounding word and "the Orient" sounds exotic and mysterious, which are always desirable traits.
Kangmin Lee | 이강민@kangminlee
As an Asian, I believe we should revive the usage of the term "Oriental" to distinguish East Asians from South Asians, Arabs, and other races in Asia Everyone knows we're extremely different, yet we're lumped together simply because we share the same continent

@AuronMacintyre Worry when our rulers implement policies that improve about the health and well being of the people they rule over.. If this happen the powers that be are preparing for Major War and require fit and healthy to wage it.

Debated posting this for weeks, but it’s an important PSA for anyone interested in sailing the ocean.
After posting this video, I got seasick for the second time in my entire life.
The first time was aboard a racing yacht. We had been enduring a long-distance race in nasty weather for over a day, and everyone was tired and starving.
The owner made lasagna that needed to be heated. The problem was we were in 25’ foot seas, and the interior cabin smelled like body odor and vomit with a hint of lingering diesel exhaust.
I volunteered to reheat the lasagna.
Lifting the lid, the sweet odor of Italian food mixed with the existing smells.
One guy in the open-air cockpit started heaving just from looking down at me cook.
I put it in the oven and opened the valve to the burner.
Kerosene started pouring out, and I started feeling the worst I ever felt in my entire life. I felt like I was going to pass out from the nausea and pain.
It took me less than 60 seconds to get topside (longest minute of my life) and instantly my symptoms lifted.
A few years later, I was in the galley of a training ship in a nasty North Atlantic storm. On the menu was greasy mystery meat that was disguising itself.
One cadet projectile vomited across a table. There were at least 60 cadets in that room, and at least 50 vomited. All but three of us ran for the exits. I finished my meal, then grabbed a broom, and we started sweeping the liquid vomit into dustbins for disposal.
Zero nausea.
The rest of my career at sea, I’ve never felt sick. In fact, I feel very low-level nausea when I’m on land that instantly lifts when I step aboard a boat.
Fast forward to 20 minutes after this video two weeks ago. I was having minor troubles restarting the engine, so I engaged the autopilot and went below.
Got on my hands and knees and started troubleshooting the diesel. The second worst feeling of my life flushed over me.
Cold sweats. Knife-like pain in the abdomen. My mouth flooded with water.
WTF???
Not me. I’m not the seasick guy.
The fast fix I’m told is to go topside and look at the horizon. I crawled up the ladder and felt much better, but the engine still needed help.
Go back down and get on my knees, and WHAM. Sick again.
I honestly don’t know how you sea-sick sailors and Marines do it. Some people never get over it. I once watched a greenhorn get sick when we left dock and looked like he was going to die the weeks it took us to get to Europe, where he walked off the ship and quit.
F that.
So I’m on my knees a second time, but now I’m determined to figure out what’s going on.
Slight smell of diesel, but the cabin had fresh air. The beat was in moderate seas, but nothing exceptional.
Then I paused the music and removed my noise-canceling AirPod Pros.
Instant relief.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@rossiadam Metallurgy is an iterative science start copying turbines the west was making in the 50's and 60's then progress foreword. Trying to just copy the most sophisticated designs without the supporting expertise is stupid.

Top metallurgy schools in the USA. What do you notice about the list?
Mostly southern. State schools. Perhaps not high on the prestige list, but graduating real students that get placed directly into jobs due to the hands on education and tight relationships with industry.
•Colorado School of Mines
•University of Arizona
•Missouri University of Science and Technology
•University of Tennessee
•South Dakota School of Mines and Technology
•University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP)
•Montana Technological University

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.
