Nope, but you are in the place of “sliding not deciding.” You know what your kids want and need before they ask you, but you are not being proactive, you are being passive and that passivity leads to selfloathing. Think, plan, act.

Am I just a monster? It's been 4 years since I became a father and I'm beginning to fear for my soul. The truth is I just don't like being around kids for very long. Historically, this is not uncommon among fathers, but today it feels almost illegal. It's causing me a lot of

Revd Charlie Skrine of All Souls Church Langham Place flies around as Superman, passing out candy and gifts to congregants during their Christmas service. Notably, this is the same church that John Stott used to lead.

@TheBlackHorse65 At this point a simple "Yes, I was wrong about that," would go a long way. Science, the real thing, expands human knowledge one admission of wrongness at a time, usually in the form of "whoa, didn't see that coming."

@Theo_Chilton A high IQ criminal is likely less violent and likely does more damage, however. Low IQ folks rob banks. High IQ folks engineer the financial collapse of 2007-2008 and get paid for it.

@TheBlackHorse65 not about deterrence- silly idea - It is about justice. And justice is a good in itself. Justice stands against both tyranny and chaos. If there is a deterrent effect, executions deter people from taking matters into their own hands. The state avenges so I don't have to.

Drugs. Pot kills motivation. Alcohol sends money down the drain. Cocaine leads to foolishness. Fentanyl takes away the will to live. Meth destroys the brain. The only one worth keeping is nicotine because it keeps a man focused.

If I had 30 seconds with Musk, I would say, Make an AI that makes humans smarter rather than one that replaces us or encourages the worst aspects of our nature. What is the point of accomplishing something if we become too stupid along the way to realize it?

A marriage counselor once told my wife the problem was “communication.” $200 an hour. 12 sessions. She learned to “use I statements.” I learned to “validate her feelings.” We were still miserable. You know what fixed my marriage? I stopped talking. Started doing. Woke up before her. Made the coffee. Didn’t announce it. Handled the dishes. Didn’t ask for credit. Took the kids so she could rest. Didn’t call it “babysitting.” Three weeks. No conversations about our problems. No processing. No therapy homework. Just a man who finally acted like he gave a damn. She didn’t say anything at first. Then one morning she looked at me like she hadn’t looked at me in years. Not with love. With surprise. She’d forgotten I could show up. The counselor told us to talk more. What we needed was for me to shut up and move. Most marriages don’t die from lack of words. They die from lack of action. Your wife doesn’t need another conversation. She needs to see you in the kitchen at 5 AM. Not because she asked. Because you finally woke up.

Most of those guys in their 30s living with their parents and playing video games are working jobs Steve. Their jobs just don't pay enough for them to be out on their own and they got to deal with people like you who stole their future demanding they work even harder for less.

@trevormouw @Phlebas_ @nieuwendorp_n @EricJDirksen However, this does not take into account the whole testimony of scripture which includes multiple images and sculptures from the snake on the pole, to the cherubim over the ark, to the decorations on the walls on the inside of the temple, to the bulls which hold up the bronze sea

One should repent the day before one’s death. Since you don’t know the date of your death, you should repent daily.

@aaron_renn Do you think the guy profiled in the NYT has grounds for a civil suit against the companies who hired the man who stole his identity? The story seems to indicate that a case could be made for negligence since the fake ids were not even that convincing.

Rather than complaining about the plight of young men, if you are a man with authority, then promote a younger man up the ladder. Put in a good word for a younger man. Start rebuilding the male social networks that lead to success.

How does that work? Really? You close one week earlier? That means your initial Covid positive population is a bit less, but is non-zero. You flatten the curve, but you don’t change the area under the curve.

Covid Inquiry: 23,000 deaths could have been prevented if the March 2020 lockdown had been imposed just one week earlier. No mistake by any prime minister in living memory has caused so many deaths in the UK. The catastrophic price of @BorisJohnson's incompetence & negligence.

I think the moral of the story is that if you aren’t in the Epstein files, then you likely are not as important as you think you are.

Then you should make AI that increases overall human intelligence rather than undermining it or simply mining it. What is the point of populating the stars if we can’t understand what we’ve done?

@christopherrufo When boys get massive doses of T at puberty, there are dads around, other boys around, men around, sports, trees to cut and holes to dig forts to make guns to shoot at deer and ducks bikes to ride. Let’s give massive T doses to a Trans kid, without that. What could go wrong?

7 Sacraments? Pseudo-Dionysius (6th cent) had 6. Hugo St. Victor had 30. We don’t get 7 until Peter Lombard 1439. Not too long before the number was reduced to 2 by the Reformation.
