Happiness can only be achieved by looking inward and learning to enjoy whatever life has, this requires transforming greed into gratitude.” -St John Chrysostom

Psalm 37 (38) O LORD, in your anger rebuke me not, chastise me not in your wrath. Your arrows have bored into me, and your hand weighs heavily upon me.

Orthodox Inquirer: "Why do you Orthodox make such a big deal about Mary?" Me: "As from purple silk, O undefiled Virgin, the spiritual robe of Emmanuel, His flesh, was woven in your womb. Therefore, we honor you as Theotokos in very truth." (from the Canon of St. Andrew)

Replying to @p_m_robinson
@p_m_robinson on my 2nd listen of the latest @uncknowledge eps, "Does God Exist?". Fascinating on so many levels, but I have to know, at 39:50 you say "Orthodox Christianity" – was that a big or small O. I'm sure I know the answer, but wonder how OC thought plays in this convo.

Abolish religion if you like. Throw everything on secular government if you like. But do not be surprised if a machinery that was never meant to do anything but secure external decency and order fails to secure internal honesty and peace.

Fascinating. I’ve always wondered how Netflix’s thumbnails changed over time. An incredible use of use data and user behavior.
A Netflix user will browse the app for 90 seconds and leave if they find nothing. Thumbnail artwork is actually NFLX's most effective lever to influence a viewer's choice. A user will look at one for only 1.8 seconds, so NFLX spends huge to optimize them. Here's a breakdown🧵
