Awesome testimony of the conversion of a secular Jew to Christianity, aside from all of his awesome scientific work! I love to hear about Jews accepting their Messiah Jesus. It seems to me like when they do, they are even more on fire than your typical Gentile convert.

A Chinese #tech firm just unveiled a humanoid #robot strong enough to knock down its own CEO. #AI In Asia, they're even teaching their robots martial arts! 😮 Perhaps in our lifetime we will even see robots that act like comic book superheroes and supervillains, flying in the air, scaling buildings, shooting lasers and so forth. We live in interesting times, as the old Chinese curse goes...

> "We cannot vote to get a “better” president, and the facts bear this out. This reality should not encourage us to vote harder but instead make Americans quietly angry, confidently disobedient, and newly clear-eyed as to the future of this country. Instead of hoping against hope that every election is the most important one, and “our” sorry candidate better than the sorry opposition, let us join the over 100 million Americans who do not vote, and therefore do not consent."

When you buy insurance, you won't need it. But when you don't buy insurance, you're going to need it.

> "What Hoppe finds most desirable about Liechtenstein is the fact that its state is entirely privately owned. As Hans-Adam points out in his book: “The costs of our monarchy, unlike all other monarchies, are covered by the private funds of the princely family.” The prince does not live off taxes; on the contrary, he supports the state, which is his patrimony. This is what makes this monarchy a form of “anarcho-capitalism.” #anarchy #voluntarism

> "President Trump said on Tuesday that in addition to the airstrikes on Venezuelan boats suspected of trafficking drugs to the United States, the U.S. military would begin hitting targets on land. Not only are all these strikes unconstitutional by any construction, but they are also unprovoked acts of war against a country that poses no threat to the United States. > > "Since September, the administration has carried out at least twenty-one attacks on civilian vessels in the Caribbean, resulting in eighty-three deaths. Not one of those killed by American forces was charged with a crime in any court, much less convicted at trial." The US #GovtIsTheProblem

> “The fact is that the average man’s love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men…like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies.” —H.L. Mencken, Baltimore Evening Sun 12 February 1923"

During COVID dozens of heavily armed riot cops in Minneapolis, tasked with enforcing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s COVID curfew orders, rolled down a quiet neighborhood street in a Humvee, and shot paintballs at residents for standing outside their homes... #GovtIsTheProblem #COVID #NeverForget

> "But it is difficult to explain how it is compatible with justice (not to speak with mercy), to condemn the others, in whom God did not deign to cause good, to eternal tortures, although on their own they could not possibly effect any good, since they either possessed no free will, or only one good for sinning." --Erasmus, *Discourse on Free Will* (1524)
