It was so stressful being a cofounder with slipping timelines, AI leaving tangles and knots, not enough time to smooth out. Checklists that only grew...

The dude sells a book within a book. The main book has a smaller book inside of it explaining the general concepts, to prime your mind for the full contents of the book.

The indigo bunting's elaborate call ends with a meek but distinct "tweet tweet", as if to summarize their song for us mortals.

God, when making me, probably: "Oh, this guy's going to be a lazy idiot. Better make him a genius so at least he'll have a job."

Well the primer failed from last year that I forgot to put paint on. I guess I need better primer...

So close yet so far. My feet don't get to touch solid wood. They get to touch luxury vinyl _painted as wood_, that bends under my office chair casters.

And why did you trace 5 km of dirt road in Tunisia on OpenStreetMaps instead of working? I don't know sir... to feel like I've accomplished something?

That's the cost of putting things off, I guess... wasps start to grow nests in it.

Him: if God were outside of time then he couldn't create the world... Me: well actually you misunderstand what it means to be outside of time. Him: why would I consider that, since there's no evidence for it? This is a darkened way of thinking. The curse of those who reject God. A knowledgeable person evaluates all possibilities. Not just the ones they think are probably right. Ironically, the one who has knowledge knows exactly how scarce true knowledge is! Sometimes the best we can say is hearsay. To evaluate a possibility is to hold it in one's mind and imagine if it _were_ true (not crossing wires and accidentally thinking that it _is_ true) and then consider what natural implications and outcomes might occur if the proposition were actually true. Then, having held in mind multiple competing propositions, you may select one to be your actual choice of what you believe to be true. But these people look through a narrow glass because of their aversion to God and his works. You don't have time to think about things? Fine, then just trust your elders. I trust God and the scriptures. You can trust your scientists, who are looking through their own narrow glass, also excluding God and his possibilities. I do not worship science. I know what science is. I follow true science, which is a methodology of thinking. Every day. What is commonly cited as science is the consensus of scientists. I'm not saying that's wrong, but I am saying that conflating this meaning with true science is horribly confusing and unhelpful to any discussion about whether one part is right or wrong.

It's funny. A person who refuses to entertain the proposition then proceeds to misunderstand its implications and conclusions, and then he puts forth a straw man, saying "this conclusion is ridiculous", having not first understood the argument, and has reached wrong conclusions.

She went on a date and immediately said: I want this one. This is the one. I want this one. This is a perfectly good one. I'll have it as mine. And he agreed.
