Robson mentions a couple meta-analyses which only found that the symptoms couldn't be explained by gluten alone. He provides a biased but reasonable interpretation. But there is no account of a group dinner with folks rushing to the bathroom "within minutes". You've way overdone the dramatization so I was confused lol.

what i'd expect a mystic to say ha ha

So MSM is flooding this platform with their trash 😅 just blocking all morning lol

if you're thinking "people" = anyone outside 20 sq km and over 20 souls then no. that idea is the antithesis of the foraging ethic. tho if we're talking scavenging, go for it.

if you're thinking just you and the guys, you could use atak. it needs a beefy phone for the fun stuff but runs fine on pixel 4a w/ grapheneOS. load in pdf or other maps. all kinds of symbols and markup. bit of a learning curve but good vids on youtube.

That's not quite what you said. First you said religion is eugenic b/c it strengthens society and gives meaning to reproduction and this is why religion persists. Now you're saying we were created religious because religion is eugenic. Those are not the same statement.

Regardless, I am saying that you have the cart before the horse. We are inherently religious. We were created to worship, full stop.

You claim that meaningful reproduction is eugenic. How do you know? You imply that eugenic reproduction is good for society...again, that's a big claim.

So like I said, too many claims at once. Cool shower thought, but needs some refining.

Too many claims at once, this is confusing.

We're created to worship. It's the fabric of reality. Eccl 3:11, Rom 1:20, Ps 19, Acts 17

Virtual Machines for Beginners

This is an easy read to learn better security and resist tyranny

We all know the concept of a burner phone that you throw away. What if you could have an electronic version of a phone to dispose of easily? Well if it’s an electronic fake version of a computer, this is a virtual machine.

Virtual machines (“VM”) are fake recreations of a computer. Normally when people think of this, they think of corporations creating a “cloud” in a datacenter. But you can also use a virtual machine on your home computer to ironically resist these big cloud corporations trying to spy on you.

Did you know the CIA sponsors tracking firms and ad networks on Facebook? [1][2] Can’t delete Facebook? Put that browser in a VM!

Rather than pay money for a whole 2nd computer, when your job asks you to download proprietary software, you can put it in a VM, to prevent it from seeing your other activity.

If you use Linux, you can make a Windows VM for Windows software.

If you want to try out a Nostr client, but don’t know if you can trust it. Then a VM is a great place to test! VMs contain malware. And the part that creates this fake PC is called a hypervisor.

There is a risk of it breaking out of the VM. How much is the risk? Well there’s different types of VMs,

If it’s running on top of your real operating system, it’s a level 2 hypervisor. This is Oracle’s VirtBox.

If it’s running directly on your real hardware, it’s a level 1 hypervisor. This is VirtManager KVM.

If it’s barely even got a host OS, this is Xen. And it’s how QubesOS works.

The lower the level of virtualization, the harder it is for malware to break out.

Remember at the start of this article, we said burner phones? You can install Android in a VM. This is infinite burner phones for corrupt spyware apps!

We exposed you to the concept here, now you can learn more from our website or others.

Think your VM is a privacy fortress? Think again! Without proper network security, your real IP can be exposed, undermining your privacy efforts. Combine your VM with a reliable VPN or Tor to shield your online presence. Secure your digital footprint! #OnlinePrivacy #VMTips

"There's always going to be a criminal or non-cooperative element in society. Theoretically one of the roles of government is to kind of make sure those don't step on the toes of everybody else too hard, to try to manage it. The problem starts when they go "Oh! well we can eliminate this!" and you get the Messianic vision of what government could be or the institution can be."

Every man must renew his mind so he has a clear understanding that "the weapons of your warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds." You need to "destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ." This is a very active battle that each must remain engaged in on a moment by moment basis or he will lose. #RenewingYourMind #SpiritualWarfare

Happy Sunday all! Today's corporate worship is one of the most important things you'll do this week.

David Brooks on The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen

BLUF: Becoming an effective communicator and connector involves mastering three key areas: being an Illuminator through understanding and respect, practicing the Art of Accompaniment in shared experiences, and mastering the Art of Conversation through active listening and engaging dialogue.

Introduction:

The journey of effective communication and connection comprises three interrelated phases: becoming an Illuminator, mastering the Art of Accompaniment, and excelling in the Art of Conversation.

1. How to Be an Illuminator--Illumination is a continuous process of learning and valuing human connections:

- Embrace Humanities: Study literature and arts to understand people better.

- Understanding Through Engagement: Use non-verbal cues and the first gaze to communicate respect.

- Respectful Greeting: Greet people with warmth, recognizing their inherent value.

- Seeing Beyond the Surface: View each person as a mystery, focusing on deep understanding.

2. The Art of Accompaniment--Accompaniment is about prioritizing others' needs through supportive interactions:

- Other-Centered Presence: Be present in regular activities, enhancing others' experiences.

- Casual Interaction: Value simple moments and foster a sense of belonging.

- Engagement Through Play: Use playful interactions to bond without deep conversations.

- Emotional Openness: Share moments that create profound emotional connections.

- Presence in Difficult Times: Offer silent support and understanding during challenging moments.

3. Mastering the Art of Conversation--Effective conversation enhances understanding and strengthens connections:

- Full Attention: Provide undivided focus in conversations.

- Active Listening: Actively affirm and respond to the speaker.

- Encourage Storytelling: Ask questions that lead to narrative sharing.

- Embrace Pauses: Allow thoughtful pauses for more meaningful exchanges.

- Avoid 'Topper' Behavior: Focus on the speaker's experiences, not your own.

- Focus on Common Ground: Identify and maintain fundamental agreements.

- Explore Underlying Disagreements: Investigate philosophical reasons behind differing views.

- Ask Quality Questions: Prompt expansive, narrative answers for deeper insights.

TLDR:

Effective communication and connection involve three key skills: being an Illuminator by understanding and respecting others, engaging in Accompaniment through shared experiences and emotional support, and excelling in Conversation by active listening, prompting narrative sharing, and exploring deeper meanings and agreements.

"Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned..., is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil that has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed."

- Charles Spurgeon

Logos is great for most all branches of Christianity.

I'm Protestant:

Not a "study Bible" but a Bible for studying: Crossway's ESV Scripture Journal: Old and New Testament Sets "pair the entirety of every book of the Bible with lightly lined blank pages opposite each page of Bible text." I love having the books as individual books:

Journey Through the Bible is a compilation of one pastor's notes generated during family Bible study. I like it for its thought-provoking questions and associated singing with readings:

The Chronological bible has been nice so far but barely dipped into it!

So on a Bitcoin standard all us OG's gonna wear our balance? ;)

Tony Cross: "Had a shower thought about money thanks to an observation in @LynAldenContact’s excellent book. When shells were money they were proudly displayed on necklaces or sewn into clothing.

Why wear your money? Because the money is pretty? Sure, but more importantly, those shells literally represent favors done for others.

Many of these societies shared essential goods in common, but not these luxuries. To wear a heavy necklace of shells is to tout one’s social credit score, to say “hey I have done a lot for y’all.” One is paid interest, so to speak, on one’s shells in the recognition that one is a giver. And when you give someone else some shells, you are giving them some social credit while diminishing your own. That’s actually the currency, that respect and gratitude and recognition that you command with wealth.

We think of money in a forward-looking way: it’s power. But money has been worn, equally, because money literally was virtue in some societies, it was seen in a backward-looking way, the mark of someone who does the dishes, takes on a dangerous job, etc., someone who racked up many favors.

Our money is so divorced from virtue that to have a lot of it says almost nothing. It could mean you got lucky, served in congress, had insider info, exploited slave labor, etc. or built something cool and appreciated by millions (though perhaps you merely found the way to profit, rather than actually doing the grunt work.)

To flaunt wealth now is to flaunt power and connections, not goodness. And… not that we can restore this connection in our global economy, but that’s another way in which our money is broken. Wealth, in some settings, used to be simply and uncontroversial a good thing, because money itself was a record of goodness."

cool thought
