Life is lived at the arena. Exploring this thing called life. Philosophy, History, Science 🔭 Economics. Be the change you want to see in the world 🧡

"Much of what is called 'social problems' consists of the fact that intellectuals have theories that do not fit the real world. From this, they conclude that it is the real world which is wrong and needs changing."

— Thomas Sowell

Hayek on why we shouldn’t abolish inheritance:

“Without [inheritance], men would look for other ways of providing for their children, such as placing them in positions which might bring them the income and the prestige that a fortune would have done.”

“This would cause a waste of resources and an injustice much greater than is caused by the inheritance of property.”

I've been thinking a lot about my nearly 15 years away from the Greek Orthodox Church.

I've come to this conclusion - I don't know if I would have the same ethical values without that upbringing. It's easy to think I would when I had that foundation since birth, but I no longer think it's that simple.

I've been around a lot of secular people. Not all, but many are in a dark place. People who are missing something from their lives. Ones who didn't have an upbringing similar to mine.

I've begun to wonder if these people would benefit from religion in their lives. Some type of positive power to pull them out of the darkness.

I'm not saying I've found Jesus. I haven't.

But more and more I want to be around the people who have.

Because I can't really be around these other people any more. My wife & I have cut most of them out of our lives at this point.

We prefer to spend our time around positive people who are working on building better lives. Building families. Nearly all of them are religious.

We're both very logical people. Religion and logic were like oil and water to me.

But when I look at the state of the world, it's not hard to see the positive impact religion can have on people. That's a very logical conclusion I'm coming to.

Also, I miss a lot of the Greek cultural stuff that I grew up, and it's intertwined with the church. It would be strange, but I'm accepting the idea that returning there, even as someone who isn't religious, feels more right than not going.

Still working through this but wanted to share.

Because bitcoiners are how I got here. The ones having families, going to church, and being decent human beings. Those are the people I want to be around.

The alternative is despair and darkness, and I am not going down that road.

We are born with no software. It's installed through our parents and surroundings. Once you hit 15- 18 you have to start building your own values and why it's important to start developing your own philosophy and why you should have your own values.But you are right without proper upbringing I don't know how you could even understand basic right from wrong doing . I to grow up in the traditional Greek Orthodox family but I'm far from believing blindly in everything. 🧡

“Those who cry out that the government should ‘do something’ never even ask for data on what has actually happened when the government did something, compared to what actually happened when the government did nothing.”

Most ruin themselves chasing small wins - quick money, easy validation, immediate pleasure. Short-sightedness is human nature. If you can extend your horizon while others play the moment, you’ll always win, because patience compounds into inevitability.

“Emotions neither prove nor disprove facts. There was a time when any rational adult understood this. But years of dumbed-down education and emphasis on how people ‘feel’ have left too many people unable to see through this media gimmick.”

— Thomas Sowell
