@toobaffled Why would you add "sugar to taste"? Doesn't sugar feed cancer cells through angiogenesis, where new blood vessels are formed to feed the cancer cells? The sugar will fuel the cancer cell growth...

@still_hustling Well said. This rips the bark off the tree. Fundamental values are the root.

Another long post for ya'll, but good stuff. Lately I’ve been thinking about why America feels so upside-down. And I don’t think the problem is a lack of compassion. If anything, it’s compassion with no discernment.

The Bible actually warns us about this. It spells out five types of people we are NOT supposed to enable, because enabling them drains the whole community. The second reading at mass yesterday was one of these and then I saw a YouTube video that listed all these out.

The Manipulator: Proverbs
“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.”

Some people use guilt, lies, and emotional pressure to take advantage of good-hearted people. Helping them does not fix anything. It simply strengthens their manipulation. These are the people who usually weaponize your faith against you. Don't let them.

The Lazy (Unwilling to Work): 2 Thessalonians 3:10–11
“If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.”

“Some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work but busybodies.”

This is about people who can work but will not. When you subsidize idleness, you drain the people who actually carry the load. Responsibility and reward must stay connected or society collapses.

The Repeat Offender: Proverbs
“Like a dog returning to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly.”

Some people return to the same destructive behaviors no matter how many times you bail them out. Helping them simply resets their cycle so it can happen again.

The Proud: James 4:6 and Proverbs
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
“There is more hope for a fool than for a man wise in his own eyes.”

Proud people reject correction, refuse accountability, and think they are always right. You cannot help someone who does not believe they need help. Support only inflates their arrogance.

The Quarrelsome or Hot-Tempered: Proverbs
“A man of great wrath will pay the penalty. If you rescue him, you will have to do it again.”

Some people thrive on chaos and drama. If you rescue them, they repeat the same explosive behavior over and over. Only consequences teach them.

I say all of this because I watched it firsthand growing up in Price Hill. There were plenty of good people there, but there were also many who fought over resources and constantly searched for short-term scams instead of long-term solutions.

You could see generational patterns at work: manipulation, drama, excuses, shortcuts, dependency, and people gaming every system imaginable. When you grow up around that, you learn very quickly that not everyone actually wants to get better. Some people want relief, not change. Some want an angle, not a future.

So I am not as naïve or “soft” on this stuff, because I have lived through why discernment matters. Enabling the wrong people hurts the whole community and steals resources from the ones who truly want to grow.

We are not struggling because Americans lack kindness. We are struggling because we reward the exact behaviors Scripture warns against.

- Manipulators get platforms.
- The unwilling turn benefits into a lifestyle.
- Repeat offenders face no consequences.
- Proud activists refuse accountability.
- Quarrelsome people dominate public discourse.

And the people who work, build, and contribute end up carrying the entire load. That is not compassion.

That is how societies burn themselves out.
So what is the solution?
It is not cruelty.
It is not giving up on the vulnerable.
And it is not becoming hard-hearted.

The solution is simple:
Compassion with boundaries.
Mercy with accountability.

Help that restores, not help that enables.
Help the humble.
Help the teachable.
Help the struggling.
Help the people who are genuinely trying.

But enabling manipulators, the lazy, repeat offenders, the proud, or the quarrelsome is not what Scripture calls compassion. Scripture calls it folly.

America does not need less kindness.
America needs wiser kindness.

Storytelling will create the next millionaires. AI does tech, humans who nail narratives win.

Yesterday, we ran a session on scripting basics: hooks, tension, strong closes.

Recorded it all and packed lessons into a PDF cheat sheet.

It covers:

- Viral hook frameworks
- Pacing to hook viewers
- Pitfalls and fixes

Want recording + PDF?

He’s yea!!! We need the balance of all ideas so that critical thinkers can present their arguments and debate without the mob of knee jerk emotional beat downs. Our constitutional republic is designed to work for everyone. We too often hear about a “democracy”, but that is not what we are. We are a constitutional republic. That’s what our founders designed. Democracy means if you have 51% then you can dictate control of the other 49%. But the real design of our republic means that you can be invisible and just live your life as you wish as long as you follow the constitutional rules. Most conservatives just want to live their lives safely, not be bothered by politics. But some on the left want to create a crisis in a panic that “ our democracy is at stake” and yes, it is. Because our founders didn’t want a “democracy”, they wanted a constitutional republic to protect the minority. It’s amazing how some of the top leaders in both parties still scream that “democracy is a stake” a crisis. Our constitution was created to protect BOTH minority and the majority . But most on the left are just Talking Heads and blindly repeating the “ democracy is at stake” narrative, because they are only about power grab, not a debate of ideas. That is where the RINO Republicans are weak. They roll over and don’t force the debate of ideas.
This affects young and new innovative ideas coming into the marketplace because the old guard on both left and right. We need new strong leaders that can debate their ideas, not roll over when they are called racist, fascist, nazi, or any other divisive name.
