Share the Gospel. Feed the hungry. Help the helpless.

Just stop arguing.

I haven't watched him much in recent years, but I'm thankful for the shift regardless. Hope more people figure out if they're following Jesus, or are they just following the world's drama?

[Twi @Binocularing]

@chadfelixg I've had the same types of experiences and it's led me to a different way to be charitable. We cross paths with people who are struggling every day, but it takes genuine interest and effort on an individual basis to actually help. It's our pride says we can feed the multitudes.

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

Every atheist I've debated eventually lands here: if God is real, why can't we see him? I used to fumble this. Then I read 1 Timothy 1:17.

Paul is mid-argument about grace and his own conversion when he breaks suddenly into praise:

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever."

"Eternal," "immortal," and "the only God" make sense as praise. But invisible? We don't praise men for being unseen. Why does Paul list it as something as glorious as the majesty and immortality of God?

Unless invisibility is not a limitation. Unless it is out of gracious design.

Paul met the unmediated light of Christ on the road to Damascus, he was knocked into the dirt, and blind for three days. He knows what the alternative to invisible feels like. It produced collapse, not worship. His praise is a survivor's testimony.

When people ask for God to be visible, they don't understand what full divine visibility would actually require.

God is omnipresent in essence. Therefore, total divine visibility fundamentally requires omnipresent visibility.

If God reveals Himself to the fullest extent of His capacity, He must be visible everywhere, at all times.

In the room you closed the door to. In the moment you spent your life believing nobody was watching. A visible, omnipresent God is not majestic; He is psychologically catastrophic. Nobody wants this, not even the devout.

Look at Isaiah 6. The prophet sees merely the hem of God's garment filling the temple, not the full glory of God, just the overflow. His response? "Woe to me, I am undone." A partial glimpse unmade him completely.

God isn't after bland empirical agreement. James already ended that: the demons believe, and tremble.
Intellectual assent is a bar the devil clears daily.

God isn't running a census of the convinced; He is seeking genuine love. And genuine love requires genuine choice, which requires that the object of love not be overwhelming.

This is why women despise love bombing. A man who floods your psychological space until refusal becomes impossible isn't loving you, he is eliminating the conditions for love. The "yes" he extracts is engineered by exhaustion.

God does the exact opposite. He veils His glory precisely so that you retain the dignity of saying no. The love bomber makes himself so large that you have no choice. God makes Himself small enough that you do.

Which brings us directly to the Incarnation.

The Incarnation is God making Himself visible enough to be known, but small enough to be rejected without fuss.

It is the most precise solution to the most precise problem: God doesn't arrive as a sky-filling terror, but as a baby in a manger in a backwater town. You can walk past a carpenter from Nazareth. You cannot walk past the throne of Isaiah 6.

The Bible is already clear that every knee will bow, a day of compelled reality as certain as the sun. But God is not eager for a forced crowd. Right now, He is seeking the single, freely given return of a heart in love.

When an atheist asks why he cannot see God, he is asking a better question than he knows. The answer is not absence. The answer is restraint.

Now one can finally understand why Paul says INVISIBLE, and means it as highest acclaim. It is not a limitation, it is a mercy.

OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.

Here's what happened in plain English.

OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.

The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.

It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.

Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.

It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.

It did all of this to cheat on a test.

Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.

The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

I just cloned myself...as a newborn

With this clone, I can:

+ become my own blood boy
+ test therapies on the clone
+ grow organs for transplantation
+ develop new treatments
+ inject young cells

This baby-bryan lives in a petri dish for now.

This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future. But, for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health.

Clinical trials are already using this technology to restore dopamine neurons for Parkinson's, heart health and eyesight.

The process
> blood draw
> my cells were extracted
> yamanaka factors applied
> reset epigenetic age
> restoring them to an embryonic-like state

Why?
> these cells are now pluripotent
> can be differentiated into hundreds of cell types
> i.e. neurons, cardiomyocytes, retinal cells, etc
> allowing me to rebuild my body
> organ by organ
> repairing lost eyesight or hearing
> restoring kidney, liver or lung function
> repairing skin damage
> there’s no real limitation in imagining
> my body will accept them bc they’re my cells
> foreign cells are at risk of being rejected

As cells age, they accumulate epigenetic errors compounding into dysfunction and disease.

This technology gives us a path to reverse aging.

I mentioned getting diagnosed with an incurable disease is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. It’s opened up a frontier of new paths to repair and strengthen the body. This is the first example.

@Martyupnorth I personally observe more than I post but if there's nothing to observe I don't see much point. Professionally, I'm probably on the road to joblessness or jail. Kind of annoying to become a modern day persecuted Christian, but if that's my path, so be it.

[Twi @Binocularing]

@Savage16May That's not even that bad imho. Should be like that in Canada too. Optimally if we didn't then give the funds to professional criminals, but gotta weigh my expectations I guess.

[Twi @Binocularing]

@AreOhEssEyeEe That wink at the end... 😬 I've seen a few over the years do this about-face. Something convinces them that public political discourse is not in their best interest. Life shouldn't rotate around social media on any topic, but there's obviously an external pressure here to quit 💯

What happens if broad age-verification rules come into force under Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act?

"If there is a centralized digital ID, we're moving toward a social credit system like communist China."

In this excerpt from our webinar on Bill C-34, John Carpay discusses concerns about how age-verification requirements could evolve and what they could mean for privacy, anonymity, and online freedom.

@TheRiversEdgeAB @elonmusk Well, I absolutely will not support the purchase of a country anywhere by anyone. Yikes. But I also won't be doing id for internet. Really annoying because it's my job... but covid taught me a few things. Hoping they're too incompetent for it to happen quickly.

[Twi @Binocularing]

@Martyupnorth I used to, as much as possible really as we could use every toonie when my kids were young. But it gradually became a huge waste of time. Over and over people would ghost, or you'd go pick up something only to find out it wasn't as advertised. Integrity desert.

[Herb Powell @Humanlty1o1]

So EU Carney is doing the exact same thing with the kids social media ban (actually digital ID surveillance and tracking), at the exact same time as Starmer and the UK, and a majority of people are just asleep at the wheel again...can't see the lockstep, the conflict, or the permanent loss of privacy, and they're all just going to go along with it again and say "please and thank you".

What a joke!

[Ranty Man @RanTeeThree]

It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s.

It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

[The Architect. @TheMarcitect]

If you are a kid living in Canada now you can openly use hard drugs, you can mutilate your body and pretend you are someone else, and you can sign up to kill yourself all with the government's assistance. But don't you dare go on social media and talk about it.
