I was at a pharmacy getting meds for my chronically ill wife @K8EMusic & saw this quote from Leigh Hunt. If health is the “groundwork of all happiness,” what about those whose health is a losing battle? Do they also automatically lose the battle for joy? The Bible says not.

For every person whose suffering ruined their faith, there is someone with equal or worse suffering who chooses to believe in God’s power & authority to someday, somehow redeem it for glory, who says “He gives & takes away, blessed be his name” (Job 1:21). #theodicy

New video coming June 18! In the 1980s, my dad worked on the frontier of 3D computer graphics. Then when I was young, he passed these skills to me. We discuss this while showcasing recovered lost media of our work from the time. youtu.be/MXErvBZ3CGI #CGI #1980s #nostalgia

The idea that AI will replace most jobs is not only a lie, but it’s sold to the public by corporate billionaires who are *perpetrating it as an intentional injustice.* It’s less “AI makes xyz job irrelevant” and more “They decided to call us ‘irrelevant’ so they could screw us.”

If “optimize” means to make something the best it can be, then does “pessimize” mean to make it the worst?

Judges 15:6 - Samson literally got his lover executed … Good job at accomplishing your goals, buddy 👍 This goes to show: the “reckless possessive” archetype of masculine romance tends to just bring suffering and harm to the very women it aims to “protect.”

Judges 9:7-21 - There’s a few aspects of this story that might seem odd to a modern audience. Possible explanations have recently come to my mind.

Q2: If the bramble represents Abimelech, why in verse 15 does its quotation seem out of character for Abimelech?

A2: Maybe ancient parables like this didn’t always treat the “fourth wall” like we do today. The statement may not diagetically represent the bramble’s mindset, but instead it’s placed in the bramble’s mouth more for dramatic or symbolic emphasis.

Mark 1:15 - This message was so simple because it relied a lot on context, to an audience familiar w. the OT who would soon witness Christ’s other work. In 21st cen. USA I daresay there’s a deficit of context. We must not only build from scratch, but undo wrong impressions first

Romans 12:14-21 - I recently heard certain gov. leaders use the passage right after this (Rom 13) to legitimize their own authority. But Rom 13 was written to subjects, not to authorities… and this adjacent passage destroys their attitude over and over and over. #ReadYourBible

Deuteronomy 18:15 - I wonder who the Israelites thought Moses was referring to. Joshua son of Nun? Samuel? Did they get distracted by fighting Canaan and forget this? I’m sure few expected it to be 1,400 yrs. But he gave no timeline. God’s plan was bigger than anyone knew
