The obsessions with pronouns and identity are going to disappear really fast when the hard times come. A civilisation can only remain divorced from reality for so long. The longer the unreality goes on, the more dramatically it will end. All of us will be impacted, not just the purple haired alphabet brigade.

Imagine the carbon footprint. They want you living in houses made from the carcasses of the dead bugs you just ate while they live in untold luxury. You are peasants living on their land.

We all feel that we have pure motives and are basically good people. The real deep motives behind our actions are hidden even from ourselves. They are open and bare to God though. We can get a glance of our condition by reading and meditating on God's word. We all need God's grace!

All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight, But the Lord weighs the motives.

Anyone else grinding wheat themselves to make their own bread? Started doing it again last year. Wheat berries last much longer, and have more nutrients than stored flour. Took a while to find a good recipe that works in a bread machine though. I prefer using a bread machine - not as good, but saves a lot of time.

Three body problem is very good. Culture series are also a great read.

Suarez is unreadable.

Doesn't matter any more. We have Nostr now!.

One comment about wealth disparity. We often hear that we have more disparity now than during the French revolution. However, I don't know if disparity is enough to cause civil unrest. I think unrest comes when one group can't afford to eat. Most people aren't going to try and overthrow a government because someone else has a fancy yacht if they themselves are well fed. However, if the other group has food, and you do not, then we may have a problem. That's why we have social welfare. No matter how rich the politicians and cantillionnaires get, they keep the plebs quiet with enough bread to live on. As long as that system lasts, we probably won't have civil unrest in the west. have

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

Proverbs 15:28.

To be thoughtful in what we say is pleasing to God.

Empires tend to go through the 'invincible' phase prior to decline. The British thought that their empire would last forever, and that it was inevitable. They had the largest empire, measured by total land area or by percent of the world's population. They thought that the Laws of economics didn't matter. They did. The Americans have a 'manifest destiny' that says the same thing. American hegemony may have burned brighter, but is already over. I hope im wrong, but signs of decline are everywhere in America. America felt invincible, and it's hegemony was extended by the petrodollar system, despite losing expensive wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan. That system is now changing, and the character of the hardy people who built America has also declined.

God still has a plan for Americans, and indeed for all people, but empires come and go.

Prelude to Wormwood.

You got that right!

All the money went to Ukraine. It's mainly working class white people in that area of the Midwest, so who cares.

How to share progress? Accountability!

Pump up the jam.

Same! Need to lose about 10 percent.

Sure does seem to be an uptick in accidents.

Robert Kennedy Jr is a hero and a national treasure. He spoke out consistently against Pfizer et al regulatory capture and vaxxine harms.

Which one of you is Elon? I'm sure he hangs out here on an anonymous Nostr account. Maybe he got Gandalf's private key when he shared it by accident.
