@truthreversion@mike_petriello You know the distance traveled to within 2-3 feet from release to catcher and time to within about 1/30 second. So distance to within 4% error or so, and time within about 9% error. That's what limits your ability to measure, not anything more sophisticated than that.
@BMMillsy Austin still had a little bit of that vibe when I moved there in 1998. College town + state government + a little tech around the fringes. It was already starting to outgrow that then, it definitely has in the three decades hence. It's the 26th largest metro area in the U.S.
@theboyonthebike McGilchrist sees this deep consciousness of the universe and the ground of being as the concept we call God. For Hart and those of us who see Jesus as the personal incarnation of that, we see a more intimately personal and loving aspect to the life flowing through all creation.
@theboyonthebike We've been taught to view the universe as a machine and God as an actor inside or outside it. But both authors argue that the universe is flowing and pulsing with potential and meaning and beauty.
Trans people are people. They deserve to be respected, cared for, listened to. It is wrong to treat them as political pawns. Jesus says we will be judged by how we treat the "least of these brothers and sisters of mine."
@spencer_josh I hope you're suggesting it's Jesus swallowing up death and sin in his love and redeeming the whole world, because I haven't found a better hope than that one.
@TheMagnusPI @pobguy Yes, we're saying the same thing. In the equation of motion, there's a term related to drag and a term related to lift. I was saying that you were talking about the term related to lift.
@TheMagnusPI Is this a modern version of Schroedinger's Cat? You might be at both talks, but we won't know which talk you will appear at until someone observes you at one or the other?
@theboyonthebike He says that's how we experience true communion with Christ. By experiencing rejection alongside Christ and the others sent outside the gates by the powerful, we find true community. I'm not eager for that. I don't think Bonhoeffer was, either. But what other way holds true life?
Whatever your views are on immigration, sexuality, whatever-could we at least agree not to scapegoat all our problems on a small subset of people? That demonizing our neighbors and sowing suspicion toward them, cannot be the way of Jesus?

@theboyonthebike I think about Bonhoeffer a lot in these times. His essay on Die Nachfolge und das Kreuz is beautiful and poignant on this subject, maybe searing even. He references Christ, the scapegoat, outside the city gates.
@theboyonthebike Here we have no lasting city. But the city we have, that will last, is the city whose gates will never be shut. Perhaps that is the real city on a hill? What we have, if we follow Jesus outside the city, is something real and good and lasting. I pray.
