@yinzer_g These are all correct except out of order. The Watt one should be first.

@steelers God no. I’m in dallas. He was ineffective in his last coaching attempt. He’s 62. Get someone young and innovative/smart.

@RGIII Correction - they aren’t even COMPETITIVE in the playoffs. 7 straight playoff games where they were trailing by at least 21 points at some point in the game…

Retweet if you think it's time for the Steelers to fire Mike Tomlin.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

“Emotions neither prove nor disprove facts. There was a time when any rational adult understood this. But years of dumbed-down education and emphasis on how people ‘feel’ have left too many people unable to see through this media gimmick.”

@steelers @Acrisure The players are gutless, overpaid bums and the coaches are incompetent at everything from game planning to motivating. That the owners allow this is inexcusable. But hey the team is worth $6bn so who cares right?

Tonight it finally clicked for me.

Neo asks her the classic question:
“If you already know what I’m going to do… do I really have a choice?”

And she hits him with the line:
“You’ve already made the choice. You’re just here to understand why.”

For years I thought this meant “there’s no free will.” But that’s not it.

Here’s the real insight:

Free will doesn’t exist in the moment.

It exists in the identity that leads to the moment.

The actions you take right now?
They’re mostly automatic - shaped by your conditioning, experiences, fears, habits, and past.

But the person you’re becoming?
That’s where your freedom actually lives.

You don’t choose the moment.
You choose the man who will meet the moment.

Or put in another way:

Determinism writes the past.

Identity writes the future.

Because when your life isn’t where you want it to be, the answer isn’t “make better choices.” The answer is: become the version of yourself who makes better choices automatically.

That’s the real red pill.

@GregAbbott_TX So you are overtaxing us. Mmmmkay. Great. Congratulations.

“If you're twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel—as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them—wherever you go.”

@Urunderarrest Agreed. I have no confidence that this staff even if given the perfect personnel would coach them successfully. But the ownership overpays people on the down side of their careers so their financial hands are tied.
