@MattWalshBlog I agree with Matt on all of these points except on God. Rights, if they exist, can’t come from another being. Saying I have a right to do something ”because the Boss says I do” means it’s not really a right at all. Rights, if they exist are something inherent to being itself.
@Sumo_Jason On a different note, I am so impressed with Aonishiki. He seems to become whatever he needs to be to defeat his opponent. His skills at adapting and reacting in the moment appear genius-level to me.
@CosmicSkeptic One track has everyone you know and care for, and who knows and cares for you. Flipping the lever chooses one of 10 random tracks, 9 of which are empty, and 1 of which contains all of humanity.
Doing what is right, even if it brings neither joy, nor peace, is the greatest of all good things. Doing what is right requires no reward at all. If a man performs good deeds, without any satisfaction in doing so, then he shows the epitome of nobility and love.
@DarkMatter2525@elonmusk You are really smart. Your Power Corrupts series was genuinely brilliant and helped me navigate the deconstruction of my faith. But you are better than those who shout at the clouds. You’ve passed the real test man— you’re free of illusion. You’ve helped so many. We thank you.
@ThePettiestLA It’s about parents-being there for your kids, even if they will stop needing you one day-doing whatever it takes to help your kid, at great mental and physical cost. Then in 4, it’s about doing that for ALL kids. The toys are adults. The kids are future generations.
When bones are broken, the healing can be slow. If they’re not set straight, they will become malformed and crooked, never truly healing. Sometimes, when no one sets them straight, the right thing to do is break them again. This is painful, but it must happen.
