Life is really confusing. And Christianity even more so. The plain truth of Christianity becomes easily obscured by the chatter of the various “Christianities” and especially the chaos of easily falsified interpretations that have become the norm online. If you find yourself engaging in this chaos, repent, this is not truth-seeking, and it is certainly not Christ that you are participating in. The very existence of the different denominations, all the way back to the great schism, is heartbreaking, tragic beyond measure, that our pride (east and west and every reformer) our own egos and political ambitions, became more important than Christ who is in our midst. If we want iron to sharpen iron, it must begin with humility to Christ. In His mercy God allows these harmful schisms (harmful to us), a divine patience that is impossible for me to understand. Like with the parable of the prodigal son, neither brother was “right”, the older brother was rebuked, and only through profound humility did the younger find his way back to the loving embrace of his father. And when I see sincere Christians misrepresent or ridicule other Christians, assured their interpretation is “right” and all other denominations are wrong or that you just need a Bible (or inversely, pretending they’re all right), we may need to stop and reflect that we are *all* wrong (all of us), for if truth was on our side who could be against us? There wouldn’t be schisms if truth was what we were seeking. All lies die. Only truth remains in the end. Only through profound humility can one even find truth. You cannot debate or ridicule or coerce or deceive your way to truth (those just put more beams in your eyes). And yet how often do we faithfully acknowledge or even understand truthfully other denominations? How often do we misrepresent other interpretations, or criticize them while being blind to the faults in our own? All it takes is ONE passage in scripture to falsify your interpretation, yet people will cherry pick only what serves their interpretation, their ego as judge of Christ and His message. Obviously the schisms continue to exist because of this— truly it is a way to humility. Let yourself be proven wrong, whether your non-denominational or reformed or Baptist or Catholic or Orthodox — let yourself *be* wrong, because you are not God, for only Christ is *right*, and to the degree you are actually right, you are at best the older brother to the prodigal son, and at worst lost in outer darkness.

It’s not you they hate, it’s God. It is all that is beautiful, and good, and true. That is what they hate. The veil has been further lifted. People are now clearly seeing the evil around them, from the vile celebrations of death, to the power games and broken narrative spells. It’s a rare moment to see the demonic so clearly. May it be blessed, truly. And still that line between good and evil runs through every heart. Yours in particular. Your enemy is not flesh and blood, it’s not just some liberal white lady, it’s not just some activist judge, it’s the dark and prideful ideology that led those people to mutilate themselves and to openly participate in the demonic. You can see the true evil clearly. Don’t miss this opportunity. It’s pure evil and it wants nothing more than suffering and death. And those with eyes to see can see this demon. Satan is pure pride, he will gloat before retreating back into the shadows. The people saying and doing these awful things? They are sinners, like you — and also like you, made in the image and likeness of God. Pray for them, sincerely. The most repugnant of them are the most in need of grace. Imagine being so consumed by the demonic that you would become like them. “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” It is a spiritual battle, and it is the only battle that matters. The worldly battle? The demons are doomed to devour each other, for evil only begets more evil. The demons will take as many lost souls as they can, and as much innocent blood as they can. Resist not evil. Evil is not a power, it is the absence of God. Turn to God, and spit in Satan’s face. Seek refuge in Christ, and He will grant you the wisdom and strength needed to do what must be done with what time He has granted you in this life. And pray that those lost souls be saved, truly saved, before it is too late for them, and for you.

I made a quick inflation calculator, helpful for understanding just how bad the monetary debasement of fiat money has been — also useful to see trends, like how wealth shifted from gold to equities (in the 80s and especially 90s), leading to that fascinating situation where gold has outperformed the S&P500 since the late 90s (in hard money terms the markets never recovered from the .com crash — everything since has been noise of a dying system)

I made a quick Rent vs Mortgage calculator for Bitcoiners. It works like a normal Rent vs Buy Calculator, except it lets you put in honest inflation metrics and a high CAGR for savings, and the goal is not to maximize fiat but to maximize Bitcoin.

Experts, central planners, and all of the so-called intellectual class will not accurately predict nor plan the impact of AI. In fact, they’ll be comically wrong (as always), and most likely in ways that expose their grift (in the tradition of court astrologers and prophets). And as you’d expect, decentralized markets will adapt and innovate new business paradigms, leading to a net increase in jobs as the “knowledge worker” class (mostly spreadsheet jockeys) slowly die out. The most free and most decentralized markets will innovate first, and (again, as always) central planners will come along afterwards and pretend they control everything, and add stifling regulations to enrich themselves while bringing nothing but misery into the world. Oh and of course central banks will continue their grift while hard assets and resources flow away from them. Based on this, you can easily pick the winners and losers of the coming economic disruptions.
