I know it’s just a trick, but one takeaway from DFW’s math book is still scrambling my brain, and it’s that, the distance from home plate to second base IS NOT A RATIONAL NUMBER

"Atmosphere - Say Shh" is a great song that is now just ironic.
🎶"If the playground is clear of stems and syringes
Say shhh, say shhh
If there's only one store in your town that sells 12-inches
Say shhh, say shhh
If no one in your crew walks around with a gun
Say shhh, say shhh
And if you ain't gonna leave cause this is where you're from
Say shhh, say shhh"

Jesus said a lot of things.
He came to bring the sword.
He came to divide fathers from sons, mothers from daughters.
He said if you don't work, you don't eat.
The Good Samaritan is a parable that many people don't understand properly.
A Jewish man was robbed and left for dead. He was passed by and overlooked....personally...by other Jews.
The good Samaritan is good because he
1. stopped
2. helped personally
3. paid personally for the welfare of the injured man
4. was a member of a hated religion minority and helped personally anyways.
