I bet those are the best French fries in the whole entire universe.

Call this a purity test of a sort. I'm not scared to venture into the territory of the weird or scary. This dude is on to something, and I'm ready to grab my pitchfork and find the bad guys.

I think the lizard stuff was what first convinced me. Its just so evident that something malevolent is at work in the world. A giant conspiracy to control the world is hard to believe with only the frame of humanity to work with - something able to manipulate this whole paradigm must have a bigger paradigm that it operates within and from. It could just be Satan. Or its just aliens. Or its both. But what I definitely can't believe is it being only humans.

Well... Good! I feel compelled to relay that my critique has usually been met with hostility, especially from the Orthodox crowd. I recently came out of a phase of really loving everything EO, but the same pattern always occurred :

I would ask a question (online), and the first reply would be something hostile, some variation of, "you protestants are evil!" That's the gist of it, not a real quote. To which I would reply, "no, I'm not a Protestant, I haven't found a denomination I like, and that's why I'm here."

Then someone more mature would answer my question with a verse while apologizing for the other person's behavior.

Then I read the verse, and the surrounding few chapters, or the entire book in Ezekiel's case (if there's one book that might cause brain damage, its that one), and look up some online commentary, and finally return to the chat and say something to the effect of, "that's not what this says."

Then a bishop joins the thread (these things seem to all be run by bishops), and debates in an openly hostile way. And at that point I'm just done with it...

And this happened, in that basic pattern, several times... until I stopped the entire pursuit of all things EO.

So... That's what happened. If it went that way for me, its going that way for a lot of people. I hope you can do some good with this.

Oh, and I just have to point out... That last quote from that saint (Kosmas? I can't see it) - anyone telling you to curse a person is not a saint.

Best wishes.

Here are some quotes regarding the heresy of the papacy.

"It is impossible to recall peace without dissolving the cause of the schism — the primacy of the Pope exalting himself equal to God."

☦️Saint Mark of Ephesus

"Moreover, there are not many bridegrooms, but one Bridegroom, Jesus. And you tell us that your pope is the head of the Church? From what place do you derive such a teaching? For us, Christ is the Head of the Church! We say to you, therefore, accept Orthodoxy, for neither your violence nor your tyranny shall convert us. We will not pollute our souls nor defile this sacred place — The Latins, greatly maddened, shouted up at them, "Indeed, since you wish it, what remains is for you to die."

☦️26 Martyrs of Zographou Monastery

"In the history of the human race there have been three principal falls: that of Adam, that of Judas, and that of the pope."

☦️Saint Justin Popovich

"Whoever calls himself universal bishop, or desires this title, is, by his pride, the precursor to the antichrist."

☦️Saint Gregory the Great

“Flee from the Papists as you would from serpents.”

☦️Saint Mark of Ephesus

“Those who seek union with the Pope ignore two things. The height of Orthodoxy and the depth of Papal worship.”

☦️Saint Sophronios of Essex

"We do not have merely 'a group of Orthodox that consider Roman Catholics and Protestants to be heretics' or 'only pronouncements by particular ecclesiastical writers,' as some erroneously contend, but the totality of the Saints of our Church who dealt with this issue unanimously conclude that Papism is heresy. There is not one Saint of our Church — no, not one — who contends that Papism is not a heresy."

☦️Fr. Anastasios Gotsopoulos

"According to the true Church of Christ, that has existed since the advent of Christ the Theanthropos into this world as His theanthropic Body, the dogma of the infallibility of the Pope is not only a heresy, but the ultimate heresy. No other heresy has so radically and so comprehensively risen against Christ the Theanthropos and His Church as Papism has through the dogma of the infallibility of the Pope, a man. This is undoubtedly the heresy above all heresies. It is the horror above all horrors. It is an unseen rebellion against Christ the God-Man. It is, alas, the most dreadful banishment of the Lord Christ from the earth. It is the repeated betrayal of Christ, the repeated crucifixion of the Lord Christ, not on a wooden cross this time but on the golden cross of papist humanism. All this is hell thrice over for the wretched earthly being called man."

☦️Saint Justin Popovic

"Curse the Pope because he will be the cause (reason)."

☦️Saint Kosmas

The inherent pride of the position of pope is no different than the pride of a bishop believing he is special by virtue of apostolic succession. Sin isn't greater or lesser ; sin is sin. Its error. Jesus said to call no man "teacher." An organized church on earth with a hierarchy is Antichrist, same as a human full of pride is Antichrist. Your saints were correct in pointing out the error of the pope, but incorrect if they didn't simultaneously point out the same error in their own church. Furthermore, if error in your own reasoning drives reasonable people *away* from Christianity (and it surely does), then you are making yourself a false prophet. Likewise, if a church's dogma is against the pursuit of reason and direct knowledge.

Its difficult to point out an error in a kind way, but it is meant with kindness. I try to write in a direct and efficacious way, with trust that the reader doesn't hear hostility in it. 🙏

An old man was picking through a trash heap...

Alexander : "what are you doing?"

Diogenes : "I was looking for the bones of your ancestors, but as it turns out, they are indistinguishable from the bones of commoners."

Sometimes things are destroyed by mistake.

Sometimes we destroy things for the feeling of release we get from destruction. It feels good because usually destruction is the closest we can get to creation. The rage of destruction and the rage of creation are the same energy.

Destroy ideas and illusions not for the sake of clearing the way for something better - do it because you can. Turning your face one way, you destroy ; turning another way, you love the beautiful. A lower and impure virtue is utilitarian ; a higher and pure virtue is axiomatic.

The death penalty is murder. Every judge and jurer that has given the death sentence should be locked up for the remainder of their lives. I say this as a mostly conservative leaning person. Anyone advocating the death penalty is a probably a psychopath, and should be under the care of a psychiatrist, and kept away from children and other vulnerable people.

You know that fad of not drinking milk? Don't do that. Milk is healthy, especially if you need to lower blood pressure.

An uber-normie saw my fridge and said, "you still drink milk?"

So I guess I overreacted. Probably a sign I should put nostr down for a while. It is interesting how every intention seems to attract its opposite.... Anyways, phone off for a few hours.

Looking at his timeline, he seems alright... Cool mullet. Ohhh maybe he didn't like that time I referred to mullets as a neck bush. That's not even that bad... He makes wine, so do I sometimes. Huh. Oh well.

it occurs to me this evening that many people do not have the ability to create graphs in their imagination of the steps involved in processes

it's a really fundamental skill to have and it requires you indulging your imagination a lot, in order to get good at this process

what drives me to do it is curiosity, and that's how i acquired such a strong ability to latch on to my creativity and use it to create complex models of stuff

that's how i ended up becoming a programmer but i did always want to be since i first learned about programming

the level of modelling capability normal people need to have is far less, and what we do as programmers often we can't model very much of the system and move around the map like a spotlight across a broad field, sometimes the paths make no sense without the bigger picture...

well, normie level intelligence (mostly meaning below 120) does benefit from practising making models, and this is one of the reasons why so many "spirichul" people recommend meditation

meditation is just thinking without any strong purpose in mind, it's like playing with your own brain, letting it ramble around the stuff you have fed it with your experiences, and notice things you could not notice without the benefit of your brain's associative mapping ability

which is what i'm talking about

it's mental maps, where you have a visual concept of a graph of things, from this place to that place, you say "waypoint 1, waypoint 2, waypoint 3"

people who have strong management ability among the normies have worked this muscle out until it bulges, and many of them had a talent for this process management, but it's a really important basic skill, and you grow it by working it, and working things often means playing

yes, all these plebs deadlifting and doing pushups and whatnot, they are playing, it's not these things that define their success it's what they get in boosted ability to work later

confidence is a big one so even if the benefit is superficially small, being able to imagine the map, and then navigate to the place it points you to, it's big

Reminds me of a memory trick that Roman senators used (supposedly) in their speeches. They made a memory palace, and placed the things they wanted to remember around their fictional house. I think the trick was to visualize the house in high enough detail that anything you placed there, like on a chair, gets associated with the memory, so it becomes easy to remember.

But... I tried and couldn't do it. Probably need to try harder and longer.
