The funny thing about MMTers is their lack of political sophistication. Take Stephanie Kelton for example. I remember distinctly during the Biden presidency, during a bout of severe inflation to boot, that she was saying explicitly that the Biden regime was in the clear to finance the war in Ukraine. Subsequently not long ago she posted in favor of Isabella Weber's antifascist economics. This is hilarious because the economic essence of fascism is military Keynesianism, which she was full throatily in favor of a few years ago. This shows how much major MMTers are basically undereducated grifters. Along with many of so called left.

Being nasty to strangers online doesn’t make you a crusader, or a paragon of virtue.. It means you're a dick at best, and mentally ill at worst. And it is pretty delusional thinking otherwise.

I want to be graceful with the Orthodox Church for a second.. There teachings are probably heavily distorted by the internet Orthobros. I'm sure normal Orthodox people are lovely.

One of my goals in life is to be under no illusions about myself. Self deception is one of the most tragic things that can befall an individual. What I am trying to come to terms with is the reality that my mind is petty and craves battle. And my flesh is weak, shortsighted, and hungers for elevation, and exultation. How then will I achieve redeeming qualities, and entrance into the Kingdom Peace? Only at the behest of the Gracious One.

The woke scold, and the gossipy, self righteous Christian are mirror images of each other. Wokeness is a Christian heresy we should remember.

So many want to conflate being vitriolic, or a gossipy hen with fighting evil. No my friend you are only serving your own pride.

Confronting evil is a good thing, just as long as you don’t become evil in the process. Nietzsche spoke of this. Fight the evil within yourself first, and foremost.

Only truth can survive the ravages of circumstance.

The Orthodox are very insistent that thinking is bad.. Maybe it's true.. But I would rather do my own thinking than leave it to a bunch of monks who historically owned slaves. I have zero faith in the benevolence of any religious institution. I have faith that God will guide me without the need to sacrifice my higher faculties to institutions that have severe limitations to say the least.

Apophatic theology largely anticipates Kurt Godel's Incompleteness theorems. No ideology, or logical system can completely capture the essence of the infinite. Acknowledgement of this reality is necessary for any true ideological, or theological coherence to emerge.

Strong men often have more opportunities, and incentives to learn gentleness. Weak men on the other hand are more likely to conflate cruelty with strength.

Pretty much..

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Closing in on hour 26 of my water fast. I'm feeling really great actually, and God's endless gifts to me seem more precious than ever. Will definitely be fasting more in the future. God bless everyone!

You grew up playing video games, and watching tv.. I grew up hunting the woods, and fantasizing about dying for the glory of my tribe.. We are not the same.

It has been to long since I've taken a good punch.. I could use the adrenaline, and it would make me feel alive! Most of you wouldn't understand..

The was truly one of the greatest wars from two of the greatest beasts of all time. True indomitable heart was shown. I believe both were on the brink of death after this fight, and they both took so much damage neither was quite the same again. Both legends, and champions of the people imo!

Getting hatred from the world is usually a sign that you are on the right path I've come to find.

There is much confusion about the political orientation of evolutionary/biophysical economics. Somehow it is conflated with progressivism, but the founder of the field Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen was in actual fact a reactionary monarchist. He criticized both neoclassical, and marxian economics. Now I'm not saying there aren't maybe progressive ways to be a reactionary. I think that is what distributism/localism is all about. Or maybe a revival of like an agrarian diggers movement sometime in the future. But evolutionary/biophysical economics is heavily reactionary to the ideologies of modernity. With maybe an experimental bent in some cases for social configurations in the agrarian future.
