what do you mean by spirituality?

Good morning nostr!

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

Broken world.

Ok LG I read part 1. I commend you for putting these thoughts to words! God will always bless our focus and recognition of Him, aka worship of Him.

Full disclosure, I lean old earth over young earth but I am not certain either way. I affirm God created the cosmos, and to think otherwise is a mistake with profound negative consequences to humanity and society. However, I reject the argument made by many Answers-In-Genesis types that a non-literal interpretation of Genesis is somehow an attack on inerrancy or inspiration. That assertion is a classic example of the fallacy you described: begging the question. The original audience of Genesis was prescientific, and so there is no reason to think God was making scientific claims. Rather, it makes more sense that he was making theologic claims. I agree Genesis doesnt borrow from other cultures and I think its more likely a polemic against those other cultures with seemingly similar stories. The God of Israel, not the gods of Sumeria, created the world.

You rightly describe the limitations of science, but then try to argue young earth from science. The problem with that approach is that for every example you offer, a militant atheist can respond with 10 seemingly more credible counter examples. Better to argue from the worldview level as you did (ie. natural science is not the final arbiter of truth)...imho.

I hope my feedback is not too harsh! I hope you keep pondering and these topics and I'm sure they will bear fruit!

LG Ill read your article I just neee to set aside some time!

Canada what are you doing killing all your vulnerable citizens? Such an injustice.

“Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.”

Good evening nostr.

I like Saylor. If my hands ever start to soften, I pull up a Saylor video and my resolve is strengthen.

If he thinks ossification of #bitcoin is a good thing, then I'm willing to entertain the idea.

Can anyone point me to any reading material?

Source?

Now do save count

My B! I thought the point of your note was to convince your readers of your position!

"The science"

Source?

I mean 'adopt' in terms of medium of exchange and 'nobody' in terms of merchants of goods. I've had btc since 2022. I bought a cordcard using btc. I've not had any other convenient opportunity to spend my btc.

I like it! If it will work out that way. I just have trouble convincing myself it will. Chaumian ecash networks need to prove themselves imho,

I can't help but wonder if this chicken-and-the-egg problem prevents getting the ball rolling. Nobody wants to commit to adoption if they're not confident it will scale, and nobody wants to scale if there isn't adoption driving it.

Fair enough, but isn't part of the benefit of traveling and/or living nomadically to minimize you burdens, both physically and psychologically? I'd argue there's some upside to only having one or two books at a time.

Fair enough I cant argue with selfcustody but Im wondering why Saylor/mstr using CB is a "red flag?" Ive always assumed he had to for some regulatory reason given how much he has.

Good morning!
