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.

The richest people in the world sure are mad at the biggest stockholder in the world.

That truth/fact that Jesus has the Father as His God, is in the ESV translation 17 times. Rom. 15:6 – John 20:17 – Rev. 3:12(4x) – Mat. 27:46(2x) – 2 Cor. 1:3 – 2 Cor. 11:31 – Mark 15:34(2x) – Eph. 1:3 – Eph. 1:17 – 1 Pet. 1:3 – Rev. 1:6 – Rev. 3:2

I enjoyed this interview with Arizona State philosophy professor Owen Anderson about issues raised by my recent conversion story.

No, my dear—honestly, we’re not.
LOL 😂
These people *really, really* don’t get it. At all.

I am immensely proud to know Katherine Birbalsingh, “Britain’s Strictest Headmistress,” due to our shared interest in very early reading.

Welp, I was wrong, and Tim was right; my testimony was not ignored.

Golly, that’s as good as I’ve seen. Grok 3 really does seem to be significantly better than ChatGPT (and DALL-E).

New interview with the “Orthodoxy” (no, not *that* Orthodoxy) podcast. Was an interesting discussion. This interviewer is going to be grow quickly if he keeps it up. He’s already interviewed some heavy hitters.

These interviews cover some of the same ground but actually end up going off in interestingly different directions. This one certainly did.

Five Times August has become, basically, the protest singer of the new anti-Establishment.

Golly, Grok 3’s feedback on my latest book work is *significantly* more insightful and useful than ChatGPT 4o’s. But then, 4o isn’t the most advanced model that OpenAI offers.

I tried o3-mini-high, and, as is typically the case, the feedback was much shorter and less detailed. Then I tried o1 and got a better result—more useful detail than either 4o or o3-mini-high—but still noticeably worse than Grok 3.

It bothers me that this org that actively throttles me has made such a good AI. I *really* don’t want to give them money…
