I gave this talk on spiritual warfare, a modern day Screwtape, at our Chaldean Parish on Ash Wednesday and it was well received. Sharing here in case anyone can use this message during lent.

AI is going to cause a massive political reshuffling. The sides in the future will be pro-human vs anti-human, because that’s what the AI fight is really about. It will be interesting to see where everyone lands. There will be a lot of surprises, I think.
@xoAlexandria_xo@jasonwhitlock Jason’s right. As a guy with a lot of kids myself, there are ways to stretch a dollar, but with 7 kids still
at home it’d be a stretch to maintain their lifestyle for the next 10 years if they somehow do hit their $2M goal.
@dcalai24@patrickbetdavid Gonna sound cheesy but God has always provided. Everytime we got pregnant, our circumstances would always change for the better. If I had 2 kids I’d still be making $50k :)
Tax breaks won’t increase birthrates. You have to change the culture to view kids as more than just accessories to a marriage. This would be as effective as giving tax breaks to people for running marathons. The people who love to do it anyway will ultimately take the money, but I’m not training for 9 months for a $2,000 tax credit.
@kennedyhall Transit! Upgraded to a 12-passenger when we had baby #8. Brought home baby #12 4 months ago so we moved up to the 15 passenger. AWD is a must.
