Just before the Starship flight next week, I will give a company talk explaining the Mars game plan in Starbase, Texas, that will also be live-streamed on 𝕏
Indeed, cowardice—this is the result of a generation or two raised up to believe that there is no God. I like Cicero on this; he says, "Show me a man of courage, and I'll show you a man of faith."
You see, we have a nationwide, moral dilemma, and so much so as to the fact we have public schools as propaganda factories and they have taught our children so much garbage during the time when we trusted government at large, and I know my parents did. What has happened is there's a bunch of people running around here that don't believe that God is watching; they don't really believe that they matter; they don't really believe that anything they do is on purpose. But being a Christian does make me bulletproof --because I believe that what I'm doing is on purpose, and that every day, as long as I'm looking for opportunities to be spiritually obedient and even keeping my head on a spiritual swivel looking for opportunities to be obedient to the spirit and whatever that looks like and usually if not always, it's a labor of love-- I'm on the lookout to do good.
And so, I believe that what I do matters, and that gives me courage. Unfortunately, people who don't believe in what they do, who don't believe in who they are, have no identity, no root; they are without purpose, and they are afraid.
You see, fear is the power of hell, and from fear comes deception, but love is the power of heaven, and from love, we find truth; and perfect love casts out fear. Love has courage; it takes courage to love. Courage to absorb an offense. Courage to stand up for what is true. You see, the problem is that we've been spoon-fed deception and lies for so long—we, the people, don't believe it anymore because we realize that we have adhered to deceit, and that makes many afraid, and that makes many unwilling to stand; but when we stand for Truth, we stand with courage because we know what we believe in—
"And I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." Amen.

I’d like to interrupt your normal programming for a station identification break; and this would be an appropriate time for, I believe, a good comment from Dietrich Bonhoeffer on stupidity..
He contends from a Nazi prison with these words:
Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
