True safety is downstream of competence and trust. And trust is downstream of truth.

When men lead, civilization improves.

All of life is stewarding relationships well.

I found out we have a Sam's Club about 40 minutes from where we live, and I'm really happy about it. I've become a bigger fan of Sam's Club than Costco. Costco feels like I'm trying to get out of jail. Sam's Club doesn't care about me showing my membership card. The prices are good, and we can get items in bulk that we actually would use. Like a 52 pack of oatmeal packs.

"Just as you don’t find eagles living in the ocean or fish living on mountain tops, so you don’t find leftists concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance." — Thomas Sowell

My son climbs me like a climbing wall.

"The housing crisis is actually a zoning crisis, an inflation crisis, and a regulation crisis, wearing a trench coat and pretending to be a market failure." These are the kinds of things you notice when you think beyond order 1.

Without boundaries, there is no life, no humanity, no universe.

To the degree a nation aligns with Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, who they are and how they operate and the story they are telling, that nation will experience genuine hope and improvement in relationships and living standards.

At least he made a run for it. View quoted note →

World of Engineering "7 equations every engineer should understand, not just know: 1. F = ma (Newton's Second Law) Force = mass × acceleration. Everything that moves or is prevented from moving obeys this. Every structural load, every vehicle dynamics problem, every rocket trajectory. 2. σ = F/A (Stress) Stress = force ÷ area. How concentrated a force is. A small force on a tiny area can be catastrophic. A huge force spread across enough area is manageable. This is why needles pierce and snowshoes don't sink. 3. Q = mcΔT (Heat transfer, sensible heat) Heat energy = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change. How much energy it takes to heat or cool something. Every thermal system, every HVAC calculation, every cooling loop. 4. P = IV (Electrical power) Power = current × voltage. Why high-voltage transmission lines lose less energy than low-voltage ones. Why your phone charger gets warm. Every electrical system. 5. PV = nRT (Ideal Gas Law) Pressure × volume = moles × gas constant × temperature. How gases behave. Every engine, compressor, pneumatic system, and pressurised vessel. 6. ΔS ≥ 0 (Second Law of Thermodynamics) Entropy of a closed system never decreases. Why you can't build a perpetual motion machine. Why every energy conversion produces waste heat. Why engineering is fundamentally about managing irreversibility. 7. E = mc² (Mass-energy equivalence) Energy = mass × speed of light². The basis of nuclear engineering. Why a tiny amount of mass releases enormous energy. The equation that explains why uranium powers submarines for 25 years. You don't need to solve these every day. You need to feel them, to know when a system is violating one of them. That's engineering intuition."

Safety is downstream from competence.

"let's all do better" is always a euphemism for, "you should conform to my ideology."

It's fun to read writing from people who are down to earth, like Feyn. View article →

She calls Steve's delivery date reality distortion, but actually reality doesn't negotiate and he simply agrees with it. "Steve Jobs at the first NeXT retreat, December 1985. Footage released by the Steve Jobs Archive in May 2026."

The enemy is the one who wants to erase the history.
