Okay last one.

Okay fine one more

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

The slackening of the thumbscrews, in my opinion, is the result of too many frogs noticing the bubbles forming in our pot (or a preventive measure against that).

They will torque them back down again soon, once enough NPCs meet the algorithmic metric of having had their attention spans lapse.

These tiny “victories,” or instances of the thumbscrews slackening, are stronger memories in the minds of many dissidents than the massive defeats. This is similar to how veterans remember their time in service. 90% of it can generally be characterized by suck, but the good times stand out so much that many have overall fond memories of their service.

So as long as they keep feeding us these baby “carrots” (this court overturning or blocking that mandate for a brief period, etc.), NPCs won’t remember the two-by-four “sticks” as strongly, and thus, the temperature can get closer to boiling next time before they have to throttle back. Ad infinitum.

I largely gave up video games when I had kids, although they are a pleasant distraction from time to time. I will likely never talk about games on this channel again. Here is my singular game recommendation for all fans of the old fantasy worlds, before anime, before bronies, before furries, before faggotry infested it.

Watching 1883. Tim McGraw is a grade-A cuckzilla in real life, but the show has been pretty solid so far.

It has the obvious woke garbage we’ve come to expect, like muh strong women, muh only polite well-behaved blacks, etc., but it’s less overt than I’ve come to expect

How to study the Word of God

1 Corinthians 2
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Excellent

Discernment is a gift to man from God through the Holy Spirit, but using this gift requires faith in Christ and understanding the Word of God.

Christ discusses discernment between good and evil in the gospels using a metaphor of the fruit born by trees:

Matthew 7:15-20: (Words of Jesus) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (KJV)

Christ also discusses the importance of understanding the Word of God using a parable about sowing seeds as recorded in the gospels of Matthew 13:3-9, Mark 4:1-9, and Luke 8:4-8. He explains the parable to his disciples on the beach in Matthew 13:19-23. The gist can be got from just part of verse 19 (words of Jesus):

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart…
(KJV)

The way I think of discernment is two-tiered. Firstly, one must have faith in Christ and read and understand the Bible. This discernment will be challenged by false prophets, intentional subversion (various translations of the Bible, etc.), and even good-intentioned shepherds who lack understanding.

Only through this gift of discernment of the Word and will of God can we achieve the second discernment: that of a tree by its fruits. Without the correct frame of reference bolstered by the Word of God, our perception of whether or not a fruit and therefore the tree that bore it is evil or good is clouded and may lead us astray.
