Random: I was curious to see how much of the New Testament could be pieced together from the writings of the church fathers, so I built a tool to visualize it.
Of all the projects I’ve worked on, this one is the most meaningful. Just click on text in blue to be taken to a list of references.

@KATATHEGREAT Ten years ago I enlisted and during some training I had a sergeant tell me “if you’re going to lie then do it confidently”.
It’s one of the few lessons that stuck with me and since then it’s just shown me how gullible the average person is.
Had a great time meeting @Debtlifts tonight. Talked about everything from Dostoevsky to being an influençoor. Hustled each other at darts after Irish car bombs.
You’re never given challenges harder than what you can handle
People start struggling and love to throw pity parties. Ngl I’ve never met a successful person that wallows in their own misery
Own the responsibility of figuring that shit out. Charge forward. Take violent action
You’re fat? Get on a diet and exercise.
You’re broke? Get a better job or better education.
Stop waiting for people to rescue you because the only opportunities that you’ll find are the ones you make for yourself.
The only way you can make those opportunities is through violent action when you’re in times of need.
Life is hard? Fuck it, we ball.
The military is cool, bro.
Corporate America and colleges are midwit purgatory. The military attracts more people on both sides of the bell curve. I met a lot of idiots with nothing else to do and poor geniuses that felt like they didn’t have many other options.
Testosterone and immaturity are factors too
Guys want to do cool gung-ho shit with the bros and don’t find the appeal in going to college where they’ll sit in a sterile environment and learn from the same midwit teachers that spent the last 12 years trying to tame them.
Know several guys who have that same background, just went to military. Totally insane people who had huge problems with authority figures but printed 1400-1500 SAT scores. Always wondered how this stuff happened.
