Habitus/Civitas (Suffering in the Collapse)

What I have been given, will I freely give. What I have worked for, must you work for. If you can suffer well, you may die well. #bewarethelie

Gentle reminder:

A few minutes spent in feeling objective remorse and weeping over the sins of your childhood is more effective for repairing the ills of Modernity than any political action you plan.

@nosnow365 Need to see the private contractor(s) to move the egg, redirect the flame, and clean up the mess.

Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.

Today I had a surprise video debate at an AI company apparently in a conference hall.

Asked why I for decades said The Keepers Of The Status Quo at Wikipedia is really bad training to reach AGI.

I played this James Burke video.

It silenced the room!

@nosnow365 Haha, I remember that. The giving of laurels seems the least of our concerns today.

Nuns should be able to live in their convent for life, not shoved off into some nursing home to die.

@ThouArtThat Looks fascinating. Wonder and curiosity are so important.

In a world unworthy of the sacred, only the unworthy can become sacred

@mwright92 @WeilToGo Our Common Father Creator simply loves His creatures as they tend toward Him. Maybe perfection is mirroring God's simple love for his creatures, no matter where they are.

[Habitus/Civitas (Suffering in the Collapse) @thegoodstate]

@mwright92 @WeilToGo The typical story about perfection is that it happens later, in heaven. But this brings a host of critics accusing us of failings. Maybe perfection is being where you NEED to be in a process towards the proper end.

@owenbroadcast Insightful

Most disappointing interactions with people can be resolved by someone saying, "Wow. Maybe I f***Ed up. Can we try again?" If the interlocutor doesn't have the ability to give you the grace to try again, maybe the relationship isn't worth your effort.

@nicotinedreamin I once had access to a Latin dictionary that was used by a canonist in Rome in the mid 20th Century. It had amazing notes and additions he made as new technological and philosophical ideas were introduced. He added them in the margins where they belonged in the text. Very cool.

[Habitus/Civitas (Suffering in the Collapse) @thegoodstate]

@nicotinedreamin Depends on the book. I'm a big fan if it's something you are going to study again, such as certain philosophical or sacred texts. However, not a fan if it's a library book or a book that belongs to someone else. "Dog earing" however, is always terrible. Use a bookmark.

@nosnow365 @Humanbydesign3 Lovely. Thank you 🙏

@nosnow365 "Language without Understanding"

Then, before making up a story, can we slow down to find understanding?

[Habitus/Civitas (Suffering in the Collapse) @thegoodstate]

We could have perfect harmony with all beings in the Universe if we could just stop making up stories about why we're so important.

[Habitus/Civitas (Suffering in the Collapse) @thegoodstate]

@nosnow365 That's the problem, imo

@FortyFour_North I guess I should look around here more frequently, lol
