Christ or Chaos We can overcomplicate all we want but boil it down and that's where we are...

A lot of people are in for a rude awakening over the next few years. Many people mistakenly still believe that AI is still just a novelty chat toy or a new type of Google search. Those of us on the frontlines are seeing what is possible and where things are going. You need to adapt. I beg you: please do not allow your ego to get in the way. Do not make your vocation your central identity. Things are going to change radically and quickly. God gave you talents. You have a responsibility to cultivate them. AI doesn't replace your calling, your discernment, or your willingness to work. When used well AI can help you apply your gifts at a scale that was previously out of reach, but only if you don't let your ego get in the way and remain stuck in the past. A small business can accomplish more without a massive budget. A parent can spend less time on busywork and more time with the children. Someone with an idea can build what they once could only imagine. You don’t need to worship the technology, but you also don’t need to fear it either. You need to understand it and put it to work in service of things that matter. Be humble enough to learn. Be disciplined enough to practice. The promise and vision that we have for AI is to get more of your life back and do something worthy with it. Lean into that.

On this day in 1776, 21 year old Nathan Hale laid down his life for the cause of Independence proclaiming "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." 250 years later it's worth reflecting, what type of country did he believe he was giving his life for? What would Nathan Hale say of our country now? Also important to reflect on, do you love your country as much as Nathan Hale loved his?

Most supposed predicaments are really just problems that can be solved by being harsh to the guilty For example, the rhinos are going extinct, and have been since decolonization removed good governance from Africa Is the extinction of megafauna inexorable? No. Death squads targeting poachers solve it, and protect God's grandest creatures That same sort of "fix everything easily switch" solution applies to everything, from pitbulls to property crime, as our ancestors knew It just requires summoning the proper amount of will

A musket ball caught Daniel Morgan in the back of the neck. It tore up through his mouth, knocked out the teeth on his left side, and came out through his cheek. He was fighting in the French and Indian War, years before the Revolution. Morgan was carrying dispatches across the Virginia frontier with two other men when they rode into an ambush. Both of the others were killed on the spot. Morgan took the ball to the neck but managed to stay in the saddle. He leaned forward, wrapped his arms around the horse's neck and let it run. One of the attackers chased him on foot, expecting the wounded man to drop at any second. But he never did. Morgan rode all the way to the safety of the fort. He lost those teeth, but he survived. And a couple of decades later, that same man would command the force that shattered a British army at Cowpens. American Grit.

Guy: “The gospel is not political.” Same guy: “The gospel requires us to open our borders to the foreigner.”

Just heard a story from one of my best friends growing up - that his family sold some land to John Chapman and there is a historical plaque in Ohio commemorating it. Everyone should learn more about their family heritage.

There is immense utility in the "perpetually wrong" class of people. They act as a high-speed filter for reality. Whenever they signal ABC, you know with absolute certainty to go XYZ. Stop debating them; just track them. They are your most efficient roadmap forward.

All I want is major movie produced about Godfrey that's done historically accurate is that too much to ask?

If we use power against the left, the left will use it against us. If we don’t use power against the left, the left will use it against us.

The Battle of Bunker Hill June 17, 1775

The country my children and grandchildren will inherit is far more important to me than the momentary avoidance of being called names by functional liberals pretending to be conservatives. Go ahead, call us names. We will continue to fight for the future of our homeland.

The American patriotism following 9/11 had a visceral feeling. Flags everywhere, strangers embracing, entire stadiums singing with tears in their eyes. A shared grief and a shared resolve. You could feel how much this country meant to people and how fiercely they loved it. With drastic measures, I believe we can retvrn.
