Nick Plumb has just unlocked the Indian scamming that is the heart of today's medical hiring. This is your life at stake here. It is 100% okay to be racist at this point.

Amazing. Starts account. Gets thousands and thousands of followers on day 2. Then makes this move on day 3. Read through her comments. What a psycho world we live in.

There is no 'developing' world or 'developed' world. Every country's development is the current maximum potential based on its people and their ability to apply knowledge in all things: government, construction, institutions, planning, law, etc. The 'developing' world can have all the resources and technology as every 'developed' country, but the results will never be the same. Culture and intellect are the driving forces in whatever sense you consider the word 'developed'. This premise is the opposite of modern sociology since at least the 1960s when sociologists began to uncritically believe that all cultures are equal. Read a sociology book from the 1930s, then read Ian Morris or Jared Diamond. Big tone shift. Grammar changes from the objective based on observation to the conditional based on untested hypotheses i.e. 'bad location' or 'lucky latitudes'. The modern sociologist's premise on why outcomes are unequal hang on the subordinator 'if only'. As in, 'if only _____ happened then this culture would be exploring the galaxies'. 'If only the Mongols didn't sack Baghdad then the Islamic world would be dominating technology today' - a (lightly hyperbolized) claim among many sociologists. Which is an odd claim because an equivalent city to Baghdad was Constantinople, and Constantinople was sacked (twice) and eventually evacuated of its native residents...but the West dominates technology today. Also as if technology is the only value of what makes a place worth living in. It is also clear based on light humor in editorial commentary from the pre 1960s books that those authors viewed themselves as equals to the reader. Modern sociologists demand your utmost respect because they wrote the book, and take themselves very seriously.

It makes me outraged looking at these photographs. Knowing what was taken from us, and how lifeless our modern cities are.

“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What’s the best version of ‘It Is Well With My Soul’?

What older generations fail to grasp but younger ones do is this: the borders of a nation are borders of where a designated people live. When Americans complain about such and such group coming here and saying ‘they’re turning X place into their home country’, that’s because a people are their nation. For example, India is a nation of people. Indians in Frisco, TX will inherently turn it into India because they ARE India. Ditto Mexicans in California. And so on. The land borders inherently mean nothing other than that’s the currently agreed upon designated area for a people to live. To assume any non Western immigrant will immediately adopt American values and etiquette is unfounded, and reveals a lack of pattern recognition or logical faculties. Older generations still think immigrants want the ‘melting pot’ narrative for themselves. This is the disconnect. That might have been true for immigration up to 2001. We do not see that any longer.

Dixie Book of Days today: August Fourth His last campaign alone, even ending as it did in defeat, would have sufficed to fix him forever as a star of the first magnitude in the constellation of great captains. Though he succumbed at last to the “policy of attrition,” pursued by his patient and able antagonist, it was not until Grant had lost in the campaign over 124,000 men, better armed and equipped—two men for every one that Lee had had in his army from the beginning of the campaign. Thomas Nelson Page   Lee elected President of Washington College, 1865

Reminds of St Augustine’s ‘Confessions’, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you".

Enjoyed the reading today. We are all thirsty end penniless. Why fool ourselves? Isaiah 55:1-3 Thus says the LORD:
All you who are thirsty,
come to the water!
You who have no money,
come, receive grain and eat;
Come, without paying and without cost,
drink wine and milk!
Why spend your money for what is not bread;
your wages for what fails to satisfy?
Heed me, and you shall eat well,
you shall delight in rich fare.
Come to me heedfully,
listen, that you may have life.
I will renew with you the everlasting covenant,
the benefits assured to David.
