Thomas Sowell gets it: He's 94 years old and has never held political office, never had a viral moment, never begged for your attention. He just wrote 30 books, spent 50 years dismantling bad ideas with data, and let the work speak. No green room. No cable news contract. No ideology to sell you. While academics were chasing grants and politicians were chasing polls, Sowell was in the library proving them all wrong. The most dangerous intellectual in America isn't the loudest one. It's the one who doesn't need you to agree with him.

Simulation theory is like "finding god" for the atheists.

The problem and the reason why so many people cringe at the idea of "god" is because popular religion and mass organized religion deconstructed the idea of "God" into a literal cartoon bearded man in the sky that looks like humans and has the same psychology... and treat bible verses as concrete atomized concepts that has no relation to the chapter or to the whole.

Thomas Aquinas, perhaps one of the most intelligent men to live, said it best in Summa Theologica. God is the pure spirit with zero body, zero parts, zero location, zero time... almost like a hologram that exists in all space and time at once and nothing at the same time. The essence of existence itself

God isn't something human beings can comprehend, just like an amoeba can't comprehend quantum physics. We can't even ask the right questions of reality, and maybe the best we can come up with is "simulation theory"... but even that has a problem of infinite regression of the simulators themselves being simulated themselves and so on.

Simpler people think that humans "look like God," but Genesis doesn't say we look like God. It says we were made in HIS image, after HIS likeness. God is the rational soul... specifically ties into our intellect: the power to know, reason, the logos... and will, the power to love and choose freely between good and evil. That's the "image", not something stupid like a mirror selfie, but a real, participatory likeness that's beyond a simple picture.

In Christian theology, specifically, this is the idea that god made sub-creators as humans who can ponder creation itself and, in doing so, we humans dimly reflect the ONE who just is existence. This is why Christianity, in its sophisticated form, invites us, humans, towards discovering god's design... and this was precisely why the scientific revolution was born out of the Christian tradition and nowhere else.

This is why almost all of the scientists who were godfathers of modern science... Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Boyle, Maxwell... were Christian... and even people like Fermi and Einstein were deeply spiritual in the same tradition, even if they weren't specifically "Christian" . Here, the implication is that the language of mathematics itself is a small fraction of god's design.

This is why high-IQ people arrive at the same conclusion as the low-IQ people of the uncaused cause. High IQ people see the beauty in the logos, in reason, the rational order, and in math, and see a fractional glimpse of god's design. Low IQ people accept god as the default of existence because they intuit it without reason. It's the midwits who claim atheism because they can't fathom religious thought to be anything sophisticated... classic Dunning-Kruger effect applied to metaphysics

This is why I just hand people a Thomas Sowell quote and walk away. If it's meant to be, it will happen without me. Sowell does all the heavy lifting.

Three Iranian soccer players granted asylum in Australia are returning back home where they will likely face the death penalty.

Since their stance against the Iranian Regime, family members have been detained and gone missing.

Pray for these women.

Horrible news, people.

I ran outside my house this morning when I saw this screaming “STOP THE WAR WITH IRAN! SELENA GOMEZ THREATENED TO STOP RELEASING MUSIC IF IT CONTINUES!”

My neighbors heard me and immediately started rioting in their driveways. We all ran to the HOA president’s house and flipped her car over. I mean, we were gonna do that anyway, but now it really meant something.

I don’t know how this country will survive without the music of Selena Gomez. Trump… if you’re listening… please, man… this is Selena Gomez we’re talking about! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Likely the best thing you’ll see on the internet today.

During a confessional hearing on Minnesota fraud (featuring Walz and AG Ellison), Representative Cloud (Tx) schools a female woke “reverend” in what Matthew 25 really means and what God really commands when it comes to charity.

I’m not just angry. I’m furious with you Elizabeth Warren.

Stop using the suffering of my people as political ammunition against Donald Trump.

You say you are grieving for those killed in this “unnecessary war.”
Really? I checked your social media. More than 20 posts attacking President Trump after he removed a monster terrorist of Iran, Ali Khamenei, but not one post grieving the massacre of more than 32,000 unarmed Iranian people. Why? Shocking.

More than 10,000 protesters were intentionally blinded by security forces. Young women were shot in the eyes. Students were beaten to death. Families were burying their children. Where were you then?

We are not a tool. The pain of us Iranians is not a talking point for your partisan battles.

As a woman, your silence while women in Iran were being shot, jailed, and blinded is more than disappointing. It is insulting. No it is beyond that. It is a slap in the face of Iranian mothers burying their children who have been killed by Islamic Republic.

I cannot ignore this hypocrisy.
Our suffering did not fit your narrative. Our voices were inconvenient. Now that the situation serves your political agenda, you speak loudly.

Very heartbreaking to see, powerful women in the West totally ignoring Iranians being slaughtered. 💔
