I write about pattern recognition in humans, how it forms our perspectives, and the immense amount of applications it has so much control over.
This has now become my quest as a new creator, and my purpose for finding meaning in life.
And it all stems from my personal story:
@LilaGraceRose@philvischer But it is not just the actual arguments within the debate, but how we generally approach complexity:
- How we think critically (which is on decline)
- How we consume information healthily
- How we recognise patterns and connections between concepts.
This has not been addressed.
@LilaGraceRose@philvischer I'm a pro lifer and have a similar view with acknowledging nuance in the debate. Most of the alternative ethical solutions I think are bit too simplistic - e.g. criminalising abortion.
It is incredibly multifaceted and I think we lack the humility to know what we don't know.
I'm honestly disappointed by what I've seen today across Catholic YouTube channels reacting to the election of Pope Leo XIV. Every livestream I watched carried an undertone of judgment—as if we're all just waiting to evaluate our new Holy Father based solely on how closely he matches our personal values or expectations. He wasn't exactly what many expected. He’s neither a staunch conservative nor a radical progressive—he’s a centrist, somewhat akin to an American-style Pope Francis. And for many, this seemed like a letdown.
But here’s the problem: This judgmental attitude misses the point completely.
When did our personal preferences become the yardstick by which we measure the Vicar of Christ? When did we start believing that we know better than the Holy Spirit guiding the Church? This isn't the right attitude, especially at a moment like this. We’re called first and foremost to unity, humility, and trust.
Rather than focusing on what Pope Leo XIV is not, maybe we should begin by being thankful for who he is—our Holy Father, chosen to shepherd the Church through this next chapter.
Let's pray for Pope Leo XIV. Let’s pray for humility in ourselves. Let's trust in God’s providence. After all, the Church is ultimately guided not by our expectations but by the Spirit Himself.
@mikehoffmann The crucial question is:
Are they ENJOYABLE?
Would you rather buy a boring business because it's quicker and less labour-intensive, or start an energising and purposeful business?
@simonsquibb I want to.
I desperately want to!
But I can't because
I. Don't. Have. Money.
That's why I'm starting a business and get it FAST so I can finally finally Travel!!!!!!!
@IvaInspires Making money.
I have aspirations of freedom while doing a great service with my business, but feel I’m getting close with the work I’m doing.
But there is so much confusion on how to monetise.
To make matters worse, almost half of creators like me are not making money.
