Jesus promised His disciples three things: they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.

I always found this to be one of the most interesting parts of the Shroud of Turin. That the image is perfectly projected onto both sides of it as if the cloth itself. That Christs body likely levitated during the resurrection as if there was no gravity.

Particle physicist studies the Shroud of Turin. “In the burial shroud of Christ we have nothing less than the creation of a new universe”

Most people misunderstand luxury.

They think it begins with money.

It actually begins with perception, restraint and intention.

Here are 7 principles behind a genuinely premium life:

If you give problems the wrong names, you can't understand them.

If you can't understand problems, you can't fix them.

There are almost no homeless people in America. There are only feral humans.

A homeless person is someone whose distinguishing feature is not having a home. I was homeless once, for a day, when the lease on one apartment expired before the next one was cleaned, repaired, and ready.

I parked a moving van full of my worldly possessions at my university, and slept on a couch in the student commons.

That's "homeless".

"Feral" is when a human cannot live within society, or comply with the basic expectations required for membership.

Yes, they do not have homes.

But this is not their distinguishing feature. Because they also don't have jobs, sanity, sobriety, manners, morals, or hygiene.

Which is why they do not have homes.

If you give them a house, because you think they are "homeless" rather than "feral", then they will simply repeat, within that structure, the same feral behavior.

And soon that structure will be uninhabitable.

Which, for certain people, is the whole point.

A man whose job is to sell 3d printed houses isn't trying to fix the feral-human problem. He's trying to sell 3d printed houses.

And it's one hell of a lot easier to sell them to bureaucrats who aren't spending their own personal money.

It doesn't matter if 3d printed houses suck to live in. It doesn't matter if the feral humans trash them. Nobody in this equation cares about the feral humans, even the feral humans themselves.

And nobody in this equation cares about the taxpayers. If the feral humans are still feral, then the 3d house grifters can sell more gimmick houses, and the bureaucrats can spend more of someone else's money.

If a violent political upheaval becomes necessary, this will be very unpleasant for everyone involved, but at least afterwards, we will all be able to use the feral humans, bureaucrats, and grifters to fertilize the garden of new homes.

Which will be made out of bricks.

They don't want you to know this but you can literally

> go to church
> sit next to a beautiful girl
> say hello
> ask her to dinner
> tell her you love her after 3 weeks
> ask her to marry you after 11 months

And this beautiful creature will literally live with you in your house and sleep in your bed

Absolutely insane life hack.

Total glitch in the matrix, surprised they haven't patched this exploit

Yes. Between a guy with personal scandals, and a guy who wants to use the power of government to medically rape your children and force your daughters to share locker rooms with male autogynephilic perverts, this is a no-brainer and Christians shouldn’t apologize for it.

The brutal truth is that our entire system relies on abortion

You can’t keep women in the work force without abortion

You can’t maintain the casual sex culture and disrupt family formation without abortion

Women with children find themselves dependent on men, single women find themselves dependent on the state

Women are more likely to take abuse from employers, less likely to demand raises, less likely to oppose their replacement

People have been conditioned to believe they couldn’t function in society without abortion, and at some level we’ve ensured that’s correct

We’re far from the first civilization to base itself on child sacrifice but don’t lie to yourself, that’s exactly what we’ve done

You can look back on the Mayans in horror because they did their sacrifices on an altar but they could never hope to match our level of slaughter

Until the paradigm shifts there will be no popular support for it’s restriction

This prayer comes from Pastor Richard Baxter in the 1600s.

Years ago, I saved it for one simple reason: One day, I am going to have to set an example to my kids and my grandkids to show them how a Christian man dies.

@BrianRoemmele That’s exactly what @SHEEPSLIVE was asking 2 days ago.

A kid drew himself sleeping in bed between mom and dad and labeled it 'safe.'

In Japan, this exact sleeping arrangement has a name. They call it 'the river.' Mother is one bank. Father is the other. The child between them is the water. Roughly 70% of Japanese mothers sleep this way with their kids, sometimes through the teenage years. The Western model of putting a kid alone in their own bedroom is barely 200 years old. For most of human history, in most cultures still alive today, kids slept beside their parents.

James McKenna runs the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at Notre Dame. He spent decades watching what happens when parents and kids share a bed. The bodies sync up. Heart rates align with the parent's, breathing falls into the same rhythm, and by morning even sleep stages have started matching. The parent's body, in McKenna's words, acts as a kind of biological jumper cable for the child's.

In 2013, researchers in the Netherlands tracked 193 babies through the first year of life. They measured cortisol, the brain's main stress hormone. Babies who had spent more weeks co-sleeping in the first six months produced less cortisol under stress at 12 months. Sleeping near a parent had rewired the kid's stress system to be calmer under pressure.

Inside the kid's brain at night, the amygdala, the fear alarm, gets more sensitive as the body gets tired. Darkness makes it worse. A 2021 paper in PLoS One from Australian researchers showed that light directly suppresses amygdala activity. Lights off, alarm louder. The whole brain is wired to read 'alone in a dark room' as a threat.

Now add a parent's body to that bed. The kid's nervous system reads warm body, breathing nearby, familiar smell. The threat alarm dials down. Two parents on either side dial it down twice. The drawing is the kid's brain calculating maximum safety: I am surrounded by the people who keep me alive, and nothing can reach me without going through them first.

The arrangement in this drawing is what most of human history called 'sleeping.' Sleeping the kid alone in another room is a 200-year-old Western invention that we forgot was an invention. Every kid who has ever padded into your room at 3am and crawled into the middle of the bed is just trying to redraw the picture.
