Helping grow a startup at @workstream_us. In my spare time I like to learn about science, ethics, reason, and how to spread the right ideas. 🌱

@paulg Unfortunately, it works really well. 2nd follow up email replying to the 1st gets a great engagement rate. IF the pitch is compelling and the 1st email just got lost, then this tactic works.

@sama What about the burning candle example. Suppose consciousness is generating our experience of matter.
You light a candle in a room and step away for 2 hours. You come back and the candle has burned down. Is the conscious mind keeping track of this change in matter?

Over 100 million US birds have now been killed to stop the spread of bird flu, including 15M in the last month.

They've been killed by perhaps the most inhumane method ever invented.

And we have the federal government -- and our taxes -- to thank for it...

@henry_brent @stackerco Ah, fellow Ehrman fans. You are my people.

@bendroidz @ApostateAbish I have it

@TrevMcKendrick @Seth_Troutt @forthechurch Additionally, historians and textual critics commonly believe that the earliest gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke did not believe Jesus was God. It wasn’t until John, (~80 yrs after Jesus death), that we see a trinitarian view in the gospels. Were they then not Christian?

@bendroidz The apologetic explanations for this are amazing haha.

Accepting them requires a level of epistemic relaxation that would never be granted to another religion.

[Jaron Hall @jaron_hall]

@bendroidz Beautiful journey 😊 it has its difficult moments but I never had a doubt I’d want it any other way.

Welcome to the black sheep of the family 😅

[Jaron Hall @jaron_hall]

@bendroidz I’m lucky and grateful that my options didn’t feel quite as dire as yours, but I also don’t think your feelings were unique.

Is every 4Runner required to have an American flag sticker on the back seat side window or?…

@thogge You know that was hand crafted just for you ✍️

@DeepSpaceBen Legos are so satisfying. I’ll send a pic later of a couple of mine! But also, wow they’re expensive 😆

[Jaron Hall @jaron_hall]

@DeepSpaceBen Utterly irresponsible to have a person of influence teach children to plan out their lives as if the world is going to end soon.

Has congress not learned from their Zuckerberg hearings that when they try and talk about technology it makes them look wildly incompetent? Somebody should be fielding these questions prior.

@DeepSpaceBen Add however much tastes good to you!

I didn’t drink coffee until after high school. I added a ton of creamer and sugar.

11 years later I just drink black coffee.

@JoshAlder @Bemorte Oh wow look at that! I wonder if that is taken from inside ensign college?

[Jaron Hall @jaron_hall]

@JoshAlder @Bemorte Oh ya you’re right I didn’t recognize it with the scaffolding! Good eye

Not to nitpick them, but was the temple covered in scaffolding in 2003 when the virus hit? Or did they just take a picture of the city in modern day 2022 and not not change it 😁😁

[Jaron Hall @jaron_hall]

@moskov Last nights episode got me thinking the same thing.

In addition to your hypothetical, would it be right to sacrifice 10+ people to stop the 1 person from being sacrificed? 😅
