That's cool! Not sure the value of a 'like' engagement, but I guess it might train people to at least do that with one's posts.

(As in the second amendment.)

(Yes, I know you do not have it.)

It is a fine line the difference between facts and undisprovable concepts.

With a given set of axioms, such as that the universe is intelligible, most things that are meaningful can be known.

I got into hot water with a couple other nostriches when I quoted Jesus Christ's second greatest command, "to love thy neighbor," and said it ought to apply to trade and commerce as well 🤣 It's true, reciprocity itself predates Christianity, but I claim it perfects that natural law.

It's the difference between doing good to others as long as they're good in return and actually desiring that the other benefits.

The way Jesus meant when He said "this is my body..."

I have one: permissionless data sharing between online applications.

An example:

An online course with user inputs, a second app such as DVM that does some AI processing on it, a third that organizes the new content into a usable format for presentation or publication. Devs for the three apps don't need to know each other, the user does no download-uploading or copy-pasting, and the content can be encrypted so the user must be involved for the data transfers to be made and the user maintains ownership.

When your text processing script has a glitch and the raw template gets sent 🤣

A narrow selection pool does not make them less desirable but more so 🤣

Critical question: obedience to whom? The authority on the local stage in spacetime can be very wrong, but the Author of spacetime is eternally correct. Natural law is above the laws of kings and governors. Sometimes, to obey the higher is to disobey the lower.

Love is by definition "to will the good of the other", and action follows if capacity exists. It does indeed involve attitude, but an attitude that does not result in according action if the capacity exists is proven disingenuous. Likewise, reciprocity is proven disingenuous if the reciprocator develops resentment.

The commandment goes above the natural law of reciprocity and perfects it.

I don't mean to imply, although I may have done so accidentally, that Christianity invented reciprocity. I do, however, claim that reciprocity isn't completely universal. Cultures in decline begin to reject it along with other elements of natural law, and so accelerate their demise.

Roundabouts are suddenly really popular for the city planners here in little Rolla, MO for the past ten or so years, mostly because of the engineering school here, I'm sure. The long-term residences don't like them yet. They'll... ahem... come around soon enough 👈😉

Add some camera jitter, compression artifacts, and a dirty lens filter, and you can convince anyone this is absolutely real.
