How I escaped Twitter

John Calvin on the effect of knowledge of God:

“The effect of our knowledge rather ought to be, first, to teach us reverence and fear; and, secondly, to induce us, under its guidance and teaching, to ask every good thing from him, and, when it is received, ascribe it to him. For how can the idea of God enter your mind without instantly giving rise to the thought, that since you are his workmanship, you are bound, by the very law of creation, to submit to his authority?—that your life is due to him?—that whatever you do ought to have reference to him?”

Institues of the Christian Religion I, ii, 2

I found this rather disturbing, not just for Chaya and LoTT, who I followed since the time she had about as many followers as I have; not just because it reconfirms (what should certainly be) illegal involvement in media by intelligence goons; but because these people are just so obviously stupid and ideological. How did these idiots get into power? They should be working at McDonald’s tomorrow.

Hey Larry, so happy to see your testimony, and I really appreciated your general responses to why you havent joined a specific church.

I truly hope you can connect with a church soon, as fellowship and communion with fellow believers within a curch body governed by qualified elders is a necessary part of the Christian life. But I know im preaching to the choir here. 😅

I saw your objections to Presbyterianism on the basis of Calvinism. I also noted that you have been partaking in some of Leighton Flowers work. I’d like to point out that Flowers does not represent Calvinism well. Please don’t disregard it based on his influence. I’ll refrain from further comment regarding Flowers.

I say that, because I truly see how you could enjoy and thrive in the Presbyterian framework. You might consider looking into Peter Leithart in the CREC. Your recent response instantly reminded me of this recent post:

Anyway, God bless you!

This is from 2023, but I am seeing it for the first time here. Richard Hanania asks “hypothetically,” in a Twitter poll, if it’s OK for Epstein to have sex with a 14-year-old if he pays $10M to a fund that the child will receive when reaching the age of majority. And if everyone involved “agrees.”

“Should this be allowed?” asks Richard Hanania. 👇

Yeah, dawg, we’ll see.

The biggest stockholder in the world, Elon Musk, declares—not-so-subtly pushing Grok—that “we are on the event horizon of the singularity”.

And his money is working as hard as anybody’s to bring it about, anyway. And he’ll personally benefit, probably. Yet I remember what he used to say so regularly, that we ought to regulate AI, that it posed an existential threat to humanity, etc., etc.

What, did he change his mind? It’s gonna be a good thing now? Or was he telling us in advance what his plans are, so that later he could say, “Well, I did warn them”? I can’t tell.

All I know is that whoever is at the center of AI dev today is near the center of power—or, the powers behind the government figureheads—which, we’ve been told, are limiting the total number of viable AI platforms to a few, which can be centrally controlled.
