Peterson on the virtue of becoming dangerous is not just a plea for the individual man, but for the Leviathan too. Well-functioning societies need the capacity for formidable violence, such that they may keep the peace, but paired with the control to use that power sparingly.

The holy grail for robotics is being able to generalize: doing work in unseen places

I'm going to read the FIRST prayer delivered to the Continental Congress and it's going to blow your mind.
Why have they fought so hard to erase this part of our history. I'm glad you asked 👇

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.
We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

Man, this is beautiful. A life adorning the gospel.
Listen to what @StevenBartlett—host of one of the world’s most popular podcasts—says to Christian apologist John Lennox.

“The man on the middle cross said I could come.”
Easter week. Watch it. And watch it again. And then chase after Jesus.
Ryan Schmidt retweeted
This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?

Btw, Christianity is extremely based (on evidence).
• Its core claim is a public, historical event, not a private revelation
• The central miracle was proclaimed immediately and locally, where it could be checked and rejected
• The movement grows in the same place the falsifying evidence would have existed
• The earliest sources are close to the events they describe (by ancient standards)
• The founders gain nothing (power, sex, wealth) and suffer for the claim
• The resurrection is treated as falsifiable (cf. “if Christ is not raised…”)
• Women are named as first witnesses despite this being culturally disadvantageous
• The theology precedes later institutional power, not the other way around
• The religion survives intense persecution before it gains political backing
• Christianity expects ongoing miracles, not just a one-off founding event
• Many modern miracle claims are documented, investigated, and survive scrutiny
• There are standing institutions devoted to saying “no” to bad miracle claims
• Some Christian miracles (e.g., Zeitoun) involve mass public witnesses, not just individuals
• Christianity is comfortable appealing to forensics, medicine, archaeology, and history
• Its truth claim is so historical that disproving one event would collapse the system
Embrace Christianity.

The entire gospel in two minutes from Voddie Baucham.
“Until one day, when it’s all said and done, we’re not just saved from the penalty of sin. We’re not just saved from the power of sin. But one day, we’re glorified and saved from the very presence of sin.
That’s the gospel that we preach! That’s the gospel that we need! And that’s the gospel that’s more than enough!”
Today was that day for Voddie. When he preached this, he saw by faith. Now, Voddie sees by sight—glorified with Christ forever and eternally free from the penalty, power, and presence of sin.

The IRS Section 174 business tax problem needs corrected. It is hurting small businesses and hurting tech jobs. Here is an example Ohio company that has been growing. It did between $3m and $4.3m per year the past three years and had around $1.4m per year in R&D employee salaries which is very typical for this type of company.
If this was a “normal business” it would have been profitable every year the past three years but since 2022, because of Section 174, the business has lost over $630,000 because of unfair taxes.
Congress needs to fix this tax issue that is killing tech jobs in America.
This chart shows what this Ohio company’s normal post tax income should be in green per year. The chart also shows what the actual loss was in red each year due to Section 174 taxes that started in 2022 on all the R&D employees in the company.
This growing company went from being profitable to loosing money starting in 2022 all because of unfair and un-American taxes on businesses.
