@mattyglesias They are underrepresented in the *DC intelligentsia bubble.* But like Kirk, most of the online, entrepreneurial conservatives with huge followings are Protestant (eg, @conservmillen). there’s a reason for that: vast majority of conservatives are Protestants and entrepreneurial.
Satan gives Adam an apple, and takes away paradise. Therefore in all temptations consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose.

Tre Donaldson had five points with 11:09 in the first half after he gave Tahaad Pettiford the "too small" gesture after making a bucket.
Donaldson didn't score the rest of the game and had four turnovers.
Pettiford had 20 points after that moment.

@paulg The Victorians accomplished a hell of a lot in every field you can think of (art, sea-faring exploration ((e.g. James Cook)), industrial production). Seems our problem is that we won't live as capaciously as the Victorians did.
Yes hard to imagine an elite that enforced morals legislation ever building the transcontinental railroad or splitting the atom:

“Archibald, I want to talk about dynasties. La familia. Lin-e-age, dig? Kennedys. Alec Baldwin and the other ones. Fast and the Furious. Expectations. You hail from a line of swine-skin aerialists. Gridiron aristocrats, k? But David had to give that throne to Solomon, and the centurion-blocked pocket is now your canvas.”
@McCormickProf@jennfrey Thank for the reply, @McCormickProf. Wise words—any suggestions for essays on this? As a young, competitive, ambitious man in a large coastal city, it is hard to resist comparing my achievements with others; very hard to not measure what I do by how others measure it.
Seek honour from honourable people, and from those who most matter. Recognize the immense significance of those statuses within which you are least fungible—e.g. son, brother, husband, father—and seek most to excel there.
@McCormickProf@jennfrey Professor @McCormickProf, with much, much due respect - this seems naive? Influence allows us to wield power. Isn't it *good* then to be aware of how to gain influence?
