Virtue is its own reward. Pursuing niceness as a means to benefit only muddies its goodness. In this context, being nice to girls so they want to sleep with you is often so thinly veiled as to be transparent. She can see you aren't truly "good" and is repelled.

Unfortunately there is no benefit in being a good/nice guy.

@Kin_Loch I think many people would benefit from being reminded that reading good literature is difficult and it's ok to not totally "get it" immediately.

Logical extension of universal, (small-d) democratic ideal in education?

This is very much the spirit of The Mad Farmer Liberation Front by Berry.
Jared Henderson@jhendersonYT
Yesterday I received two pieces of hate mail: one for being a secret right-winger (for talking about digital ownership issues in my latest video) and for being a raging leftist (for saying Ben Shapiro made a career making people angry).

My timer tone is the theme to @readingrainbow and when I worked at Starbucks every one of my coworkers knew it and would sing along when it went off.

One of the best things @alissamarie taught in her PCI class is that all cultural goods are aimed at some vision of the good life. Much of social media is clearly aimed at a perverse vision that dehumanizes its users iot sell them redemption through targeted ads.

Parents, wake up: the medium isn’t neutral—it’s predatory. If your only concern for your daughters is sexual content & screen time, you’re missing it. Social media algorithms are driving spikes in body dysmorphia and suicidal ideation in teen girls. This is how it works.

@JaycelAdkins @stjohnscollege Turns out the places to get an education are the places offering education as opposed to bourgeois career certification.

I just finished reading through Edmund Morris's 3 volue biography of Theodore Roosevelt. It was an monumental as the man himself. I enjoyed the deeply human portrayal of a near mythical man.

@jeff_bilbro New Wendell Berry! Is there any chance of a Burley Coulter novel?

@aspiringpeasant I think about this every time I see "commercial land" for sale. I'd buy it and never let anyone build a thing.

If I were rich I would buy as much land as possible and return it to tribal stewardship.

A stunning wildflower show is happening right now along the newly freed segment of the Klamath River, where native fish and wildlife populations are beginning to rebound in response to the recent removal of four dams.

I finished my @CatherineProj Greek course last night and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little glad to be finished. It was a great experience and I loved learning but it was intense. Greek is no language to be trifled with. Knowing me, though, I'll be back in the future.

We gotta stop wasting money on teachers and libraries so we can give more to police so they can get even more up-armoured tanks to drive through our neighborhoods.

Saying "chat" or "skibbidy" isn't within 1000 leagues of the online brainrot of people saying Ligon Duncan will be going to hell for complimenting a woman who attended and worked at a seminary.

Communism often gets criticized for it's materialism but capitalism (at least as it exists popularly today) is just as bad, reducing humans down to merely their value added to a corporation and flourishing being simplified to gdp growth.

Kinda funny for a guy who went on a rant about how wearing "funny hats" was a anti-gospel attempt to get closer to God.
Not to mention someone whose entire ministry is predicated on never being held accountable for his folly.
