@ScottGreenfield This is just too sensible for many people to grasp.

What if the better solution was fixing NPR by replacing woke with rational moderate people rather than defunding it? That public broadcasting was captured by the left doesn't mean it doesn't serve a valuable purpose, but that it needs to be freed from ideology..

@std_devi8tion @_kruptos Like what? Kai, Skylr, Maverick, Axley, or some medieval profession?

The Pentagon is the highest profile victim of the managerial revolution, it has shed the nimble spirit of the WW2 fighting force which would ruthlessly relieve incompetents and fast track stars The culture today is one that protects/elevates failures rather than punishes them

People focus on nobody fired for Afghan withdrawal but they need to understand it took 20 years to produce that disaster. The lack of accountability was born from generals failing/lying in Iraq and Afghanistan and then getting promoted or celebrated/enriched when they came home

@NoLieWithBTC His hand is holding a cane.

The husband of a Republican senator just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris. The level of class you can expect from MAGA.

Razib and I are on opposite sides of the political divide, to put it mildly, and yet his "Unsupervised Learning" is one of the very few substacks I follow--great stuff on pops genomics and larger, provocative arguments about prehistory. Highly recommend.

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly The majority of scholars disagree with what your said. The text of James, Mark, and Matthew is later than Paul - they just make up earlier authorship - people do it all the time. I'm not crying - I just findyour Jeebus rant annoying.

@AdiBalachander @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly Crying now? Too funny. You know James predates Pauline Epistles. As does Matthew and Mark. But you don't care.

If this is your religion, you aren’t welcome in the West

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly I'm not angry, you're the one getting frazzled and banging on about other religions. Hate to say it but some streams of Judaism and Mandaeism consider your religion demonic and devilish.

@AdiBalachander @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly As opposed to the angry Jew who wants to tell everyone they are wrong and that the Messiah never came. No Jesus then Judaism is a fraud.

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly "muh story saiz stuffz .. muh story is true!" These are all inventions of Mystery religions projected upon Second Temple Judaism. The composition of Luke and Acts post dates the Epistles - just like The Star Wars prequels were created after the original trilogy.

You know you have zero evidence of these claims. Acts ending is obviously post Epistles because Acts ends when Paul reaches Rome. But you are saying it's all made up. Which is worst case of Jewish cope I have ever seen. But what about all the miracles? Do you believe God performs miraculous healings?

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly "Muh Story says this wuz real". There's no Stephen outside Acts, and Saul of Tarsus never mentioned him.

@AdiBalachander @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly I just see now Paul convincing Stephen to get in the time machine and get stoned to death by a bunch of Jews. It just makes so much sense. Why didn't I think up of the time traveling Saint Stephen!!!

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly There's no evidence for them. The Evangelions attributed to them post-date the Pauline Epistles in terms of composition. The story of Stephen from Acts as a continuation of Luke also finds itself from the post Pauline period. It's a bunch of Graeco-Gentile fanfiction of Judaism.

So you believe John, James, Matthew, and Mark were followers of Paul? That Paul just made up all this. That Stephen was a time traveler and was willing to die for what Paul made up? That they all were willing to die for what Paul made up? Any evidence? Especially of Stephen's time traveling?

@i_aver @RichardHanania Because Social Trust exists on the internet....

It’s funny how this debate over H1Bs doesn’t include any actual Americans worried about competing with Indians. It’s all people who couldn’t get anywhere near the industry complaining on their behalf. This is like when wokes claim to speak for blacks and Hispanics. Except more ridiculous because STEM workers would more vehemently reject those who claim to speak for them. We do find an endless number of anonymous accounts saying “my cousin has a 180 IQ and physics PhD but is waiting tables because Indians took all the jobs.” I’m sure those stories are all very real.

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly No, I'm a God Fearing Karaite. He makes up a vision of someone he never met, and his followers made up a story about someone they never saw.

@AdiBalachander @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly What a dumb thing to say. So you think Paul made up Jesus? You are Hindu right?

@i_aver @RichardHanania "I'm an anonymous person who knows other anonymous people who think something. You should take my word on this."

@RichardHanania I know of people who 💯 work in Silicon Valley competing with Indians who could never attest or express opinion because fear of doxxing and top down punishment. Maybe that’s why you don’t think there are any.

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @l_u_n_a13 @BeSaintly Hinduism doesn't - some Hindus do. At best Jesus was a Hallucination seen by Saul of Tarsus, at worst a deceiver and Demon from the desert.

I am going to assume you don't know much about Hinduism based on that remark. Some aspects of Hinduism consider Jesus to be the Incarnation of God. They don't consider Christianity to be wrong. They think it's a different tradition to encounter the same God. These are misled aspects of Hinduism, not able to reach the fullness of God, but at least not always openly demonic because they recognize the True God, the creator of the Universe

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @BeSaintly Many aspects of your grammar is demonic and devilish. What evidence do you have for Hinduism being demonic besides "muh Jeebus" or "muh Bibul verse"?

@BeSaintly Many aspects of Hinduism is openly demonic and devilish. It's a strange religion, more like a dozen religions lumped together.

@BeSaintly Isn't your religion kiddy fiddling, a dictator in Rome, irresponsible procreation, and worshipping a wafer? Not sure you were welcome in the West for a long time.

@ProjectLincoln I'm disgusted that you would purposely twist and distort what they said, using the same Anti Indian and Anti Immigrant rhetoric of the far right. Your Trump Derangement syndrome is out of hand when it leads to this.

Elon and Vivek are saying native born Americans are not good enough or smart enough to hire for tech companies, and Donald Trump is silent. Because he agrees with them. MAGA was never about America first.

@TaylorRMarshall You're not racist for rejecting another religion - you're racist for talking shit about people smarter than your because of where they're from. Don't shift the goalpost. Unsurprisingly you Jeebus types love to bear false witness.

People are accusing me of being “RACIST” for rejecting these false “gods” of Hinduism. Am I racist for rejecting an elephant headed deity?
