It is clear that there are no grounds for believing that the simplest course of events will really happen. That the sun will rise tomorrow, is an hypothesis; and that means that we do not know whether it will rise. Ludwig Wittgenstein TLP

The surest way to lose your job is to start looking for a new one.

I love my kids, yet I’ve seen too many spoiled kids in my life (thanks to their parents), and it was such a disgusting sight. Being a soft guy, I really value my wife’s efforts to teach our kids discipline and good manners. At the end of the day, that’s the only thing you can consciously pass on to them. Talent, beauty, physical appearance—it’s all in their genes. But if they behave like ungrateful little savages, it’s your fault as a parent.

On X, you share opinions nobody asked for. So, what’s the point of following someone else’s agenda anyway?

They’re all Judases, every last one of them. There’s only one decent man among them—the prosecutor; and even he, truth be told, is a swine. Nikolay Gogol

It is a question like 'have you stopped beating your wife, yes or no'? 'Moral' is not applicable here. The killing of the firstborn was not a moral outrage, but a part of divine judgment, which is not always obvious for men. John Chrysostom highlighted, if I'm not mistaken, that the Egyptians had time to repent and change, but refused to listen.
Christians... Why was it moral for God to kill the firstborn of Egypt?

I will visit Belgium in November to find out how things are really going on the ground there.
