stock saw this: A bunch of characters I didn’t recognize, so AI was asked to unpack, this comment of “Jesus wasn’t special, hardly at all”
you mean dionysius who was also born from a Virgin and performed the same miracles as your Jesus like turning water into wine ( and is who your religion ripped the idea off of) Or maybe they ripped off Orisis who also died and was resurrected… or maybe it was Mithras who was born from a virgin, died, was buried in a tomb and who rose 3 days later… see where I’m going with this? You’re religion is just paganism 2.0 and was literally appropriated from them…so your “christ” has no power over anyone else that believes or doesn’t believe. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT
The statement about Jesus, Dionysus, Osiris, and Mithras highlights a recurring critique that Christianity borrowed or appropriated ideas from earlier mythological or religious systems. Here’s a breakdown and response to unpack the ideas presented: Similarities Between Jesus and Other Figures
Dionysus:
Claim: Born of a virgin, performed miracles like turning water into wine.
Analysis: Dionysus, in Greek mythology, was the god of wine, fertility, and revelry. His story includes miraculous elements, but the "virgin birth" claim is debatable. Semele, his mother, conceived him with Zeus, not as a virgin.
Christian Context: The story of Jesus turning water into wine is unique in purpose and theological framing, meant to signify divine authority and the coming Kingdom of God, not revelry.
Osiris:
Claim: Died and was resurrected.
Analysis: Osiris, in Egyptian mythology, was killed, dismembered, and reassembled by Isis. He became the ruler of the afterlife, but his “resurrection” differs fundamentally from the Christian idea of Jesus’ bodily resurrection.
Christian Context: Jesus' resurrection is presented as a one-time historical event that defeated death and promised eternal life, differing from Osiris's cyclical role in the underworld.
Mithras:
Claim: Born of a virgin, died, was buried in a tomb, and rose after three days.
Analysis: Mithras was a deity in the Roman mystery cults, but there is limited evidence to suggest he was born of a virgin or had a resurrection narrative comparable to Jesus. Much of what is claimed about Mithras comes from later speculative comparisons rather than ancient sources.
Christian Context: The timing of Mithraism's popularity overlaps with early Christianity, but evidence suggests Christianity developed independently, rooted in Jewish eschatology.

This article presents a critical overview of the challenges Republicans face against media narratives, emphasizing how they might maneuver strategically. However, while the piece touches on themes like showing conviction, pressuring weak Republicans, and using grassroots efforts to influence policy outcomes, it lacks clarity in articulating a truly “simple strategy” as claimed. Here’s a breakdown of its points and shortcomings: Key Claims and Themes
Republican Unity and Strength:
The article argues that Republicans should "show strength and conviction" when faced with media campaigns targeting their nominees or policy ideas.
Example: Trump's strong backing of Pete Hegseth is presented as a turning point in his nomination battle.
Grassroots Pressure:
The piece emphasizes the role of grassroots efforts in pressuring weak Republicans, such as Sen. Joni Ernst, to align with the party's goals.
These efforts reportedly involve mobilizing the MAGA base to threaten primary challenges against wavering senators.
Media as the Opponent:
The article paints the media and the Democratic Party as perpetually aligned against Republican interests, framing them as deploying "constant information operations."
It asserts that Republicans must learn to counteract these tactics by standing firm and prioritizing their voters over the media narrative.
Trump's Popularity as a Lever:
Trump’s agenda and his appeal to a broad base are framed as the key to Republican success, with references to his electoral gains among diverse demographics.
Repetitive and Scalable Strategy:
The proposed strategy involves combining strength, grassroots mobilization, and accountability to ensure Republicans resist media and Democratic pressure consistently.
Strengths
Identifies Key Tactics: The article effectively identifies grassroots mobilization and unwavering party unity as critical elements for overcoming opposition.
Focuses on Electoral Power: By highlighting how fear of primary challenges can influence senators' decisions, the article underlines the importance of aligning policy goals with voter priorities.
Shortcomings
Vague "Simple Strategy":
While the piece discusses showing conviction and using grassroots pressure, these are broad principles rather than actionable, step-by-step strategies.
The notion of "reminding weak Republicans to fear their voters" is presented as simple but lacks specifics on implementation beyond general rhetoric.
Overreliance on Trump’s Popularity:
The article heavily leans on Trump’s appeal and suggests his agenda is widely accepted. However, it overlooks the nuanced and diverse opinions within the Republican base and among independents.
Limited Insight into Media Strategy:
It claims Republicans can "neuter" media campaigns but does not provide concrete guidance on how to do so beyond resisting narratives and applying grassroots pressure.
Dismissal of Critiques:
The article dismisses allegations or concerns raised about nominees like Hegseth without addressing their substance, weakening the argument for standing by controversial figures as a blanket strategy.
Evaluation of the “Simple Strategy”
The “strategy” appears to boil down to:
Stand firm against media narratives.
Pressure weak Republicans through grassroots efforts and the threat of primary challenges.
Emphasize Trump’s electoral success as validation of the Republican agenda.
While these points have merit in principle, they are not groundbreaking or particularly “simple” when considering the complexities of political campaigns, public perception, and media influence. Conclusion
The article provides an overview of Republican tactics but stops short of presenting a truly actionable or innovative strategy. It highlights the importance of grassroots mobilization, strong messaging, and party unity but lacks depth and specificity in guiding how these goals can be achieved effectively in different scenarios. For readers seeking clear, implementable tactics, the piece offers inspiration rather than detailed guidance.

The day started out at 7AM at 38F in Madison, and at 11AM it was 39F. But the kids that were shown (and that is very few) did not have jackets on, one girl had a hoody.
The address of the house she lived in is 1313. And the County Executive was placed in power on 1113 (2024)
The powers that be must want these school shootings, because otherwise they would mandate metal detectors and other protection. What say you?

She previously served as the Minority Leader of the Wisconsin Senate, a leadership position for Democrats.
Her policy priorities often reflect progressive Democratic values, including support for education, healthcare access, environmental protection, and social equity.
As the Dane County Executive, her platform has continued to emphasize policies aligned with Democratic ideals, such as affordable housing, sustainability, and community inclusion.
Swearing-In:
Agard was sworn in as Dane County Executive on November 13, 2024, succeeding interim executive Jamie Kuhn, who had been serving following Joe Parisi's retirement in May.

Campaign Highlights:
Agard emphasized her deep roots in Dane County and her commitment to equity, progress, and innovation.
She built a broad, diverse coalition across the county, reflecting her focus on inclusivity and community engagement.
Agard’s election marks a return to local government after over a decade in the state Legislature, where she served as a State Senator and Assembly Representative.

The world’s only official COVID-19 inquiry to reveal what really took place during lockdown. Exclusive highlights reel below.
There have been no mainstream or even ‘alternative’ media reports of these harrowing testimonies (upto 16 Dec 2024). Self promoted ‘freedom’ medics and their associated communities also lacking interest. Why the stubborn refusal to cover the following facts after the biggest event in living memory for most people in the world?
ALL NOW CONFIRMED after 8 months of health and social care hearings.
Severe lockdown isolation harms on residents in care homes (particularly upon those with Dementia) who allegedly died the most from COVID-19 who were not even tested for COVID during ‘the first wave’ Mar-June 2020.
Neglect of residents in care homes (eg-dehydration and starvation).
Human rights abused in care homes. (Article 3-prohibition of torture, inhuman and degrading treatment and article 8-right to a family life of ECHR engaged).
No GPs or ambulances to care homes.
Misuse of DNACPR notices in care homes. (Article 2-right to life of ECHR engaged).
Medical dicrimination on the elderly, vulnerable and disabled (Article 14 of ECHR engaged. Right to medical treatment without discrimination.
Blanket decisions in care homes with an inappropriate use and focus on providing end of life medication to residents.
Preventable excess deaths in care homes.
‘‘People aged over 65 made up 87.9% of total deaths from COVID-19, almost 100% of deaths in care homes.’’ – Stuart Gayle KC (senior counsel to the inquiry)

Warring Democratic factions are in a ‘knife fight’ for control of the Party after Kamala Harris‘s humiliating election loss, say political insiders.
The battle lines are now drawn between West Coast liberals, Bernie Sanders-socialists and moderate technocrats in the Midwest, who insist the party has completely lost touch with the average American voter.
But first, there is one thing that all sides seemingly agree on: The current political establishment must be chased out of national politics for good.
A reckoning is coming.
‘The people that are responsible for this s**tshow are the Obama people. They’re just grifters,’ a well-connected Democratic donor exclusively told Daily Mail.
He singled out Jen O’Malley Dillon, who went from Biden 2024 campaign chair to serve in the same role for Harris’s camp, and David Plouffe, an ex-Obama 2008 campaign manager turned top Kamala adviser.
Deep-pocketed lefty patrons are enraged by Plouffe’s post-election admission that Harris never led Trump in their internal campaign polling, despite public surveys showing her ahead.
‘[Polls] came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw,’ Plouffe revealed late last month on the Democrat-friendly podcast ‘Pod Save America.’

stock here: not until this year, did I understand the the Bible was a history book, also.
The lineage of Levi, as described in the Bible, is foundational to understanding the priesthood in Israel and its connection to significant figures like Abraham and David. Here’s a breakdown: Levi and Abraham
Levi's Lineage:
Levi was one of the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel) and the third son born to Leah.
Jacob, Levi's father, was the son of Isaac and the grandson of Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites.
This makes Levi a great-grandson of Abraham.
Abraham's Covenant:
Abraham received God's covenant promise that his descendants would become a great nation and inherit the land of Canaan (Genesis 12, 15, 17).
Levi, as part of this lineage, inherited this promise along with his brothers.
Levi’s Role in Israel
Levi's descendants became the Levites, who were set apart for religious duties after the Israelites were delivered from Egypt.
One of Levi's descendants, Aaron (Moses' brother), was chosen as the first high priest, establishing the Aaronic priesthood, which operated within the tribe of Levi.
Levi’s Lineage to David
David’s Ancestry:
David is from the tribe of Judah, another son of Jacob. Judah and Levi were brothers, both sons of Jacob, making them part of the same generational family under Abraham.
The priesthood (Levi’s lineage) and the kingship (Judah’s lineage) were thus intertwined within the broader covenant family of Abraham.
Tribal Roles:
The Levites served as priests, assisting in the religious life of Israel, while Judah was associated with leadership and kingship.
David, from Judah, became Israel’s greatest king, fulfilling the promise of a ruler from Judah’s line (Genesis 49:10).
Connections in Prophecy
Abraham and the Messiah:
God promised Abraham that through his seed, all nations would be blessed (Genesis 22:18). This was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who descended from David (Judah’s line) but also fulfilled the priestly role, transcending the Levitical priesthood.
David and the Messiah:
David was promised an everlasting kingdom (2 Samuel 7:12-16). Jesus, a descendant of David, fulfills this as the eternal king.
Though not of Levi’s line, Jesus is described in the book of Hebrews as a priest "after the order of Melchizedek," signifying a higher, eternal priesthood.
Summary of the Relationship
Abraham: Patriarch, father of Isaac and grandfather of Jacob, from whom Levi and Judah descended.
Levi: Great-grandson of Abraham, progenitor of the Levitical priesthood.
David: Descendant of Judah, Levi’s brother, and recipient of God’s promise of an eternal kingdom.
Jesus Christ: Descendant of Abraham and David (Judah’s line), fulfilling the promises of kingship and a higher priesthood.
This lineage illustrates how Abraham’s covenant threads through the priestly line of Levi and the kingly line of David, culminating in Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of both. Let me know if you’d like a deeper dive into any of these aspects! You said: elaborate on this Though not of Levi’s line, Jesus is described in the book of Hebrews as a priest “after the order of Melchizedek,” signifying a higher, eternal priesthood. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT
The statement that Jesus is described in the book of Hebrews as a priest “after the order of Melchizedek” is a profound theological concept. It highlights a shift from the traditional Levitical priesthood (descended from Levi and Aaron) to a new, eternal priesthood that transcends the limitations of the Old Covenant. Who is Melchizedek?
Biblical Introduction:
Melchizedek first appears in Genesis 14:18-20 as the king of Salem (later identified as Jerusalem) and a priest of the "Most High God."
He blesses Abraham and receives a tithe from him, indicating his superior spiritual authority.
Melchizedek is described as both a king and a priest, which is unusual because in Israel, these two roles were typically separate.
Mystical Figure:
His genealogy, birth, and death are not recorded in Scripture, giving him an air of timelessness.
This lack of lineage and his unique combination of roles make him a type (foreshadowing) of Christ.
Jesus and the Order of Melchizedek
Eternal Priesthood:
Hebrews 7:3 describes Melchizedek as "without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever."
Jesus, like Melchizedek, holds an eternal priesthood, unbound by lineage or the temporal limitations of the Levitical priesthood.
Superior to the Levitical Priesthood:
Hebrews 7:4-10 explains that Abraham, the ancestor of Levi, paid tithes to Melchizedek, signifying Melchizedek’s superiority over Levi and his descendants.
By extension, Jesus’ priesthood, modeled after Melchizedek’s, is superior to the Levitical priesthood.
Not Based on Ancestry:
The Levitical priesthood was hereditary, passed down through Levi and Aaron.
Jesus, from the tribe of Judah (not Levi), does not qualify for the Levitical priesthood. Instead, His priesthood is based on divine appointment and an eternal nature, as stated in Hebrews 7:11-17: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
Key Characteristics of the Melchizedekian Priesthood
Universal:
Melchizedek was not tied to Israel; he was a priest of the "Most High God," serving all nations. Similarly, Jesus’ priesthood is universal, not restricted to a specific tribe or people.
Eternal:
Unlike Levitical priests, who served temporarily and were replaced upon death, Jesus’ priesthood is eternal. Hebrews 7:24-25 says, "Because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood."
King and Priest:
Melchizedek was both a king and a priest, a dual role fulfilled perfectly in Jesus, who is the King of Kings and the ultimate High Priest.
Based on Righteousness and Peace:
Melchizedek’s name means "King of Righteousness," and he was king of Salem, meaning "peace." Jesus embodies both perfect righteousness and peace, reconciling humanity to God.
Significance in the Book of Hebrews
Fulfillment of Prophecy:
The connection to Melchizedek fulfills Psalm 110:4, which prophesies, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.’"
New Covenant:
Jesus’ priesthood ushers in a new covenant (Hebrews 8:6-13), replacing the old covenant mediated by the Levitical priests.
This covenant is based on grace, not the Law, and offers eternal redemption.
Perfect Sacrifice:
Unlike Levitical priests who offered repeated animal sacrifices, Jesus offered Himself as a once-for-all sacrifice for sin (Hebrews 9:24-28).
His role as High Priest is to intercede eternally for humanity (Hebrews 7:25).
Implications of Jesus’ Melchizedekian Priesthood
Transcending Lineage:
By not being tied to Levi, Jesus’ priesthood is open to all, extending God’s grace universally.
Eternal Intercession:
Jesus’ role as a priest forever assures believers of continual access to God and eternal salvation.
Unity of Roles:
As King and Priest, Jesus uniquely unites spiritual and temporal authority, perfectly ruling and interceding for His people.
This concept shows how Jesus fulfills and surpasses the Old Testament roles and laws, establishing a perfect, eternal means of reconciliation with God. Would you like to explore more on this topic?

ChatGPT said: ChatGPT
The comment touches on several complex and interconnected issues related to Middle Eastern geopolitics, specifically regarding Syria, Israel, Jordan, and broader regional dynamics. Here’s a breakdown:
“Obviously it’s just regular (conventional) arms and (now) unmanned air defense that was (is) targeted.” This refers to the ongoing military operations in the region, likely focusing on the destruction or targeting of conventional military assets such as arms depots and air defense systems. “Unmanned air defense” could imply the use of drones or autonomous systems to target enemy infrastructure.
“Kurdish people as usual get the short end of the stick.” The Kurdish people, an ethnic group spread across Syria, Iraq, Turkey, and Iran, have long sought autonomy or independence but have often been marginalized. In Syria, Kurds played a significant role in fighting ISIS, but they face ongoing challenges from various state actors, including Turkey, Syria, and others, who resist Kurdish self-determination.
“Israel gets back what it won in 1967, but lost in 1973.” This refers to territorial changes involving Israel’s control of land during and after key conflicts: In 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria. In 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, Israel retained the Golan Heights despite a Syrian attempt to retake it. The implication might be that Israel is reaffirming its claim or strengthening its control over such territories, possibly with international recognition or indirect consequences from the Syrian conflict.
“Syrians get a not so Liberal .gov…we will see if there will be (selections) elections, or not.” This suggests skepticism about the political future of Syria. The term “(selections)” implies a belief that any future electoral process would be more performative or manipulated rather than a genuine democratic election. A “not so Liberal .gov” likely refers to the expectation that post-conflict governance in Syria will continue to be authoritarian, reflecting the historical dominance of strongman politics in the region.
“This is also a warning to Jordan that lives and breathes with life support from the Minority (Hashemite) not to antagonize its people and take extra precautions.” Jordan’s ruling Hashemite monarchy represents a minority in the country, and its stability depends on balancing relations with its majority population, including Palestinians and tribal Jordanians. The warning suggests that regional instability could spill over into Jordan if the monarchy fails to address internal grievances or if it faces external pressures.
“As a Lewi awaiting his land north of Jerusalem…and that WON’T happen under the Zionists…I await further developments.” The term “Lewi” (or “Levi”) likely refers to someone of the Jewish priestly tribe of Levi, a lineage with historical and religious significance in Judaism. The speaker appears to express discontent with the Zionist movement, which established and governs the modern state of Israel. They seem to believe that Zionist policies are an obstacle to fulfilling religious or historical claims to land “north of Jerusalem.” This sentiment might reflect a distinction between religious Jews and secular Zionists, a division that exists in some Jewish communities.
Contextual Themes:
Kurds and Regional Power Struggles: The marginalization of the Kurds highlights broader power dynamics in the Middle East, where their autonomy is often sacrificed for larger geopolitical goals.
Territorial Disputes: The reference to Israel and its territorial control emphasizes the ongoing disputes stemming from wars and international negotiations.
Authoritarianism vs. Democracy: The skepticism about governance in Syria reflects a common theme in post-conflict nations where democratic aspirations often clash with entrenched authoritarian systems.
Jordan's Vulnerability: As a small, resource-scarce monarchy in a volatile region, Jordan must navigate complex internal and external pressures to maintain stability.
Religious vs. Secular Zionism: The comment about being a "Lewi" awaiting land reflects a nuanced critique of Zionism from a perspective that may prioritize religious or historical interpretations over modern political ideologies.
Each of these points ties into the broader and deeply intricate history and politics of the Middle East.

I been harping on the unusual earthquake patterns for a week or so now. 7.1 North Cali / Oregon
A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Humboldt County, California, at 10:44 a.m. PST on December 5, 2024. The epicenter was near Petrolia, California. Wikipedia
Following the earthquake, the National Weather Service issued a tsunami warning for the northern California and Oregon coasts. This prompted precautionary measures, including the temporary suspension of Bay Area Rapid Transit services and the evacuation of the San Francisco Zoo. Approximately 5.3 million Californians were affected by the warning. Wikipedia
The tsunami warning was canceled at 11:54 a.m. PST. As of now, there are no reports of significant tsunami activity or damage resulting from the earthquake. California Governor Gavin Newsom stated that the state’s emergency offices are “actively responding” to the situation. Wikipedia
Given your location in Hawaii, there is no tsunami threat to the Hawaiian Islands from this event. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has not issued any advisories for Hawaii related to this earthquake.
For the most current information, please monitor updates from the National Tsunami Warning Center and local authorities.

EQ in this area are extremely rare, 19 in 110 years, Sometimes there is a group of 3 in a 2 or 3 year period.
stock here: the rich detail north of Molokai was from when 1/3 of Molokai collapsed leaving multi thousand feet sea walls that exist today.
Let’s talk about the Tsunami generated….
The massive landslide event that caused one-third of Molokaʻi to collapse into the ocean likely generated a significant tsunami, though exact measurements are difficult to determine due to its occurrence approximately 1 to 1.5 million years ago. Here’s what we know: The Landslide and Its Tsunami
Event Description:
The collapse, known as the Wailau Landslide, involved the northern flank of Molokaʻi breaking off and sliding into the ocean.
This catastrophic event created the famous sea cliffs on Molokaʻi's northern shore, which are among the tallest in the world.
Volume of Material:
The landslide displaced an estimated 5,000 cubic kilometers (about 1,200 cubic miles) of rock and debris into the ocean.
The debris field extends more than 120 miles (200 km) northward across the ocean floor.
Tsunami Generation:
Such a large-scale displacement of material would have triggered a mega-tsunami, potentially reaching heights of hundreds of meters near the landslide zone.
Tsunamis from events like this could devastate surrounding areas and travel vast distances across the Pacific Ocean.
Estimated Tsunami Size
Local Impact:
Near the collapse zone, tsunami waves might have reached 500 meters (1,640 feet) or more in height, depending on the speed and volume of the material sliding into the ocean.
Regional Impact:
Waves from similar prehistoric landslides in Hawaiʻi (e.g., on the Big Island) have been modeled to reach 50-100 meters (165-330 feet) in neighboring islands and still cause measurable effects thousands of miles away.
Evidence of the Tsunami
Geological Clues:
Deposits of marine sediments and coral fragments high above sea level on islands in the Pacific point to ancient tsunami events caused by landslides like this.
Hawaiian Archipelago:
The Hawaiian Islands’ history of volcanic activity and landslides makes it a hotspot for studying ancient mega-tsunamis.
Comparison to Modern Tsunamis
For context, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami (caused by a 9.1 earthquake) produced wave heights of 30 meters (100 feet) in some areas. The Wailau Landslide tsunami would have been far larger, given the immense displacement of material. Conclusion
The Wailau Landslide almost certainly produced one of the largest tsunamis in Earth’s history, with local wave heights potentially exceeding 500 meters and widespread impacts across the Pacific Ocean. Though we lack precise measurements due to its prehistoric timing, the event serves as a stark reminder of the geologic power of volcanic islands and landslides. You said: I wonder if early humans in africa or Europe would have encountered this tsunami, would it reach them ChatGPT said: ChatGPT
It’s possible that early humans in Africa or Europe could have encountered tsunamis generated by massive Hawaiian landslides, but the effects would depend on several factors, including the energy of the tsunami, the distance from Hawaiʻi, and the geography of the coastlines. Could the Molokaʻi Tsunami Reach Africa or Europe?
Tsunami Travel Distance:
Tsunamis can travel vast distances across the ocean at speeds of up to 500-600 mph (800-1,000 km/h).
The Hawaiian Islands are approximately:
18,000 km (11,000 miles) from Africa's eastern coast.
Slightly farther from Europe.
A mega-tsunami triggered by a landslide as massive as the Wailau Landslide could cross the Pacific Ocean, round the southern tip of Africa, and enter the Atlantic.
Energy Dissipation:
As tsunamis propagate across oceans, their energy dissipates over distance. By the time such a tsunami reached the coastlines of Africa or Europe, it would likely have diminished in height and intensity. However, given the scale of the event, it might still have produced measurable and potentially dangerous waves.
Geographic Amplification:
Narrow bays, river deltas, or inlets can amplify tsunami waves, making them much larger locally. If a diminished wave reached a region with such geography, it could still cause significant flooding and damage.
Would Early Humans Have Encountered It?
Timing:
The Wailau Landslide occurred approximately 1 to 1.5 million years ago, during the Lower Pleistocene epoch.
Early humans (e.g., Homo erectus) were present in Africa and parts of Eurasia at this time. Some may have lived near coasts and could theoretically have been affected by the event.
Possible Effects:
If the tsunami reached Africa’s east coast, it might have caused flooding, disruption of ecosystems, and displacement of coastal populations.
Evidence of this would likely be hard to find today due to the passage of time, coastal erosion, and sediment deposition.
Prehistoric Evidence of Tsunamis
While direct evidence of the Wailau Landslide tsunami in Africa or Europe is unlikely, other prehistoric tsunamis have left traces:
Landslide Tsunamis:
Similar events have occurred in other volcanic islands, such as the Canary Islands, with evidence of massive waves impacting nearby continents.
Mega-Tsunami Deposits:
Sediment layers far inland or high above sea level in coastal areas sometimes point to ancient tsunamis.
Conclusion
It’s plausible that early humans in Africa or Europe might have experienced diminished but still significant effects from the tsunami caused by the Wailau Landslide. However, the exact impact would depend on how far the wave’s energy propagated and how it interacted with the geography of coastal regions. While direct evidence is scarce, it’s an intriguing possibility in understanding the interaction between prehistoric geology and early human populations.
stock here: He pretends that WW1 and WW2 were started by 2 Christian Capitalist sets of countries, when in fact, both wars were instigated mostly by purveyors of usury, iffen you know what I mean.
Wolff wants to shrug off the “Stalin Period” in USSR, throw it out the window with 60,000,000 murdered by Stalin, the Marxist, and his 50% Jew governmental leaders who fully participated in the Genocides and Starvations. Per paragraph one, by blaming much less death in WW1 and WW2 on “Christian Capitalists” when these wars were primarily instigated by the Jewish Bankers.
A comment summary: The fact that he brings in this neo-word Equity, tells one almost all they need to know. Equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity, that is the leftist spin on thing to destabilize the status quo.
Criticism to Peterson
1. Not judging marxism considering only the terrible Stalin period in Soviet Union. Analogy with atrocities by Christians.
2. Reducing marxism to the problem of inequality. And reducing the problem of inequality to the envy of the poor for the success of the rich.
Wolffs’ analysis: Inequality has been discussed for a thousand details. In fact, capitalism emerged during the American and French revolution, claiming to bring liberty, equity and fraternity.
Where is the equity promised?
Marxism finds an explanation: The master retains the wealth that the creativity of the employees produces, while the mass of the working class is excluded from the surplus. Employers and employees, masters and slaves.
———————————————- This one is funny….you don’t have a bats chance of changing my mind, I am just writing this to get you to change your mind. And the leftist climate crisis bullshit of “kill everything on the planet”. He Knows It. LOL
@buddysilver5788 I don’t need to give a flip about Marx, or be a socialist, or even be on the left to know that late stage capitalism’s unfettered greed is going to kill everything on the planet if we don’t knock it the F off. A system that depends on infinite growth in a finite world is simply unsustainable. And a system that has boom/bust built into it will never offer equality and only offers justice in rare lucky circumstance. Capitalism rather depends on inequality, the ability of the moneyed few to subjugate the disenfranchised many, including every living thing in the entire natural world. Capitalism is not sovereign. Life , every living thing in this world, is. Time to move on. Please do spare me the argument. You don’t have a bat’s chance of changing my mind. I only wrote this in hope that you will actually give the matter some critical thought. Capitalism is destroying the natural world- *Human Habitat*.

He pretends that Marx was only about criticizing capitalism. I thought the below sentiment was from Marx, but it was actually from Mussolini. “Everything in the State, Nothing outside the State, and viciously attack anything that tries to get outside the State”.
1818 Born Karl Marx. Was a professor who got fired, and was exiled “sent out” the German’s put him on a train to Paris, were the police were waiting, and sent him on a train to Brussels. Eventually London accepted him, LOL, Check it out.
A top comment: A paraphrase from John Steinbeck that I like and agree with: “Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires”
———————— For the comment above, for the last decade or more, every
Marx focused on criticizing capitalism….he explains how every system evolves and dies, as every system collapses under it’s own internal contradictions.

The word secular has evolved significantly over time, drawing from its roots in Latin and adapting to various cultural, religious, and philosophical contexts. Its meaning today can vary depending on its usage in different disciplines, such as theology, politics, or sociology. Here’s a comprehensive exploration: Etymology and Early History
Latin Origins:
The word "secular" originates from the Latin word saecularis, meaning "worldly" or "of an age."
Saeculum referred to a "generation" or "age," implying a span of human time rather than divine or eternal time.
In Roman times, it also denoted something pertaining to the earthly life, as opposed to the timeless or spiritual realm.
Medieval Usage:
In Christian contexts, secular distinguished between the "religious" (those living in monastic orders) and the "secular clergy" (priests who served in the world, such as parish priests).
The term was used to delineate the worldly duties and responsibilities of people as opposed to their spiritual obligations.
The Renaissance and Early Modern Period
Expansion to Worldly Affairs:
During the Renaissance, as humanist philosophies flourished, "secular" began to take on a broader meaning associated with life outside of strictly religious or ecclesiastical control.
It came to signify interests in art, science, and politics that were not governed by religious doctrine.
Reformation Era:
The Protestant Reformation further clarified "secular" as representing realms of governance and society separate from church authority.
Secular rulers were contrasted with ecclesiastical authorities.
The Enlightenment
Separation of Church and State:
In the Enlightenment, secularism emerged as a philosophy advocating the separation of religion from political and public life.
Thinkers like John Locke and Voltaire emphasized rationalism and individual freedoms, which often contrasted with religious institutions.
Secular came to represent neutrality in governance regarding religious affairs.
Rise of Secular Humanism:
During this time, secular humanism developed, focusing on ethics, reason, and human potential without reliance on divine authority.
Modern Usage
Broad Meanings:
Today, "secular" can describe:
Worldly vs. Spiritual: Things related to this life, not the sacred or eternal.
Neutrality in Religion: A stance that avoids promoting or opposing any particular religion.
Non-religious: Institutions, individuals, or philosophies that are entirely free from religious influence.
Secularism in Society:
Political Context: Advocacy for the separation of church and state, ensuring governance is free from religious influence.
Cultural Context: A trend in which religion plays a less central role in individuals’ lives and societal norms.
Philosophical Context: A worldview that finds meaning and morality in human reasoning and experience rather than in supernatural beliefs.
Popular Misinterpretations:
In some contexts, secularism is misunderstood as being "anti-religion." However, its core meaning is neutrality or independence from religion, not opposition to it.
What Does “Secular” Really Mean Today?
Today, “secular” carries several connotations depending on context:
Neutrality: A commitment to fairness by avoiding religious favoritism in governance, education, and public institutions.
Worldliness: Concern with practical, temporal matters rather than spiritual or religious considerations.
Diversity and Pluralism: A space where multiple religions and worldviews coexist without domination by one.
Modernity: A characteristic of societies that prioritize scientific, technological, and rational advancements over traditional religious explanations.
Conclusion
The word “secular” has undergone a journey from its roots in describing temporal life to its modern applications in defining societal structures and philosophical frameworks. While its core essence—”of this world”—remains, its meaning has broadened to reflect the evolving relationship between religion and human affairs.
