"As a philosopher, I think DEI is solving what we call the problem of evil. Why is the world so difficult to live in? Why has it imposed so many hardships on us? And this is their solution: the answer is whiteness." -Dr Owen Anderson Think about that. The...

Mr Shift: What's the true innovation with prediction markets? Kalshi CEO: There's many ways to answer that question. Um there's the Kalshi piece of it, but then there's the prediction market piece of it, which are not exactly the same. “But the... the true innovation in prediction markets, I think, is this notion, like... and, and I think it has been built through a lot of literature, and then I think the prediction markets have come in our generation, like Kalshi and some of the others have proven it” “The best way to answer like all these most pressing questions is like you have to ask the crowd”

This is why Melanie Phillips is one of the sharpest minds around. And why I think she is so brilliant. Here she is on John Anderson AC’s podcast speaking about what she thinks the reason is behind the hostage posters being ripped down in cities around the world. I never thought about it like this, but it makes so so much sense. Here is the link for the full episode:

Duffy: And then they will say now close your eyes and pray to Castro that you will get candy and the candy will appear. That is the kind of indoctrination that's been happening. It is now here in America. We have to recognize this is an atheistic, marxist evil ideology and we have to root it out.

Lex Fridman asked Elon Musk what the meaning of life is. His answer was not what anyone expected. We do not know, he said. And that is exactly why we need to expand consciousness. Not to find the answer. To ask better questions. He believes the universe is full of things we cannot even formulate yet. We are like children trying to understand calculus. The problem is not that calculus is too hard. The problem is that we have not developed enough to know it exists. Consciousness, to him, is a tool for exploring the universe. The more of it we have, the better our questions become. The better our questions become, the closer we get to understanding what any of this means. This is why he builds rockets and brain interfaces and AI. Not because he has the answers. Because he thinks the only way to get them is to expand what we are capable of thinking. Most people spend their lives looking for meaning. Elon is building the tools to look for it at a scale we cannot yet imagine.

Here's almost 3 minutes of Billy Horschel talking about PGA National, overseeding and a problem that isn't just at the Cognizant. "Obviously we give our opinion of what we think is best for the golf course and how they want to set it up and challenge it, but also, the owners have a say in it. "This isn't just PGA National; it goes to a lot of courses that we play throughout the years."

How it could be that so many Americans students have been radicalized to support terrorism and hate everything the U.S. stands for? The answer is simple: indoctrination. Consider this video of Dr. Mohamed Abdou, a Hamas-supporting, Visiting Professor at Columbia University.

Great balance of showing compassion while sharing truth as Wes Huff responds to the question of why a good God would allow evil: "Well, that is arguably the hardest and most pressing apologetic question there is, because ultimately, the very tidy philosophical and theological answer isn't the right answer sometimes. You know, sometimes the right answer to the wrong question is the wrong answer, because I've encountered situations where someone has brought up a variation of the problem of evil to me, and I've just felt uneasy about maybe the tenor that they're coming at with the question...and asking them, 'You know, that's a great question. Why are you asking that question in particular?' and finding out once again (like the previous question related to it), they're personally hurting. And so, in that sense, I could give a tidy answer about if you're positing that something is good, you're positing that there's an objective good and evil, and if there's an objective good and evil, then you're positing an objective law, and objective law needs an objective lawgiver. So where do we find the groundwork for an objective lawgiver to begin with? Otherwise, you may not like certain things, but to say they ought not to happen is actually an ethical leap to an objective reality that you may or may not have groundwork for. But if that person is struggling because a family member of theirs has cancer, then that particular, maybe tidy, tied-up-in-a-nice-bow answer is not going to speak to them whatsoever. And so that's why that's the hardest question because there are actually very good answers to it, but often it doesn't speak to the person in front of you, because questions have questioners that sit behind them. And one of the pitfalls of my chosen field of ministry apologetics is that sometimes we give answers where we talk at people rather than with people. And there's a danger to that because the Christian faith isn't just an intellectual assent, right? It's a personal relationship. And that should also be played out in the answers that we give..."

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya says scientists have avoided studying autism for years because they were afraid of what they might find. He says that is finally changing under President Trump and RFK Jr. “We launched a major initiative to identify the reason why we have seen this sharp rise in autism rates… up to 1 in 31 kids now.” “As a scientist, I want to know the answer why… and I don’t know it.” “A lot of the scientific community has been reluctant to get involved with this question because they view it as a threat — like what if they find an answer that’s politically incorrect?” “Getting the scientific community to engage honestly with this question… treating it like the major chronic disease problem it is… is a huge advance.” (Video from The MAHA Summit)

So evil exists, God exists, God willed evil to exist. He didn’t create it, He couldn’t. He’s holy, holy, holy. But He didn’t prevent it The Problem of Evil — John MacArthur // March 17, 2007 You have to understand that this issue of the problem of evil is the big issue, the big one in even evangelical Christianity, as well as liberal Christianity – everybody trying to save God from this biblical definition. Let’s assume for a minute that God doesn’t have the power or willingly limited the power for a greater good, human freedom; or doesn’t have the knowledge. In any case, guess what; evil exists and God exists, and God has no power over evil, and evil dominates the world, and it is beyond His control. The universe is out of control; it’s out of control and the most crucial point. So just exactly how, may I ask you, is God all of a sudden going to get the knowledge of the future that He needs to bring this deal to an end, and how is He going to exercise the power to end it, and how is He going to overturn His immutable decision in the past to give the creature autonomy? How is God going to define the end of everything in the way the Bible says He defines it if He’s not even in control of it, because He will not or cannot exercise the power, or doesn’t have the knowledge? Maybe global warming has more power than God. So I ask you this: Which god would you like? Would you rather have a god trying to get control of evil or a God completely in control of it? It’s obvious. It’s heresy to say the world is full of evil apart from a predetermined plan and purpose by God far beyond the willy-nilly human choices. So evil exists, God exists, God willed evil to exist. He didn’t create it, He couldn’t. He’s holy, holy, holy. But He didn’t prevent it. It occurred in a rebellion against Him. But He willed and ordained that it occurred. In fact, if you study the Bible carefully, you can see many ways in which God designs to use evil things – natural evil, moral evil, supernatural evil – for His own purposes, even eternal evil, sometimes to bring fear and terror and conviction on the unregenerate, sometimes to bring chastisement and discipline on God’s people, sometimes to humble them. And in the case of Job, He turned Satan loose for horrendous evil in the life of Job. You remember that Jesus said to Peter one day, “Satan desires to have you that he may sift you like wheat”? Remember that, Luke 22? And if I’d had been Peter I’d have said, “Well, you told him no, right?” Jesus said, “Actually, I told him yes, have at him.” What? “So that when you’re converted, you can strengthen the brethren.” There’s a remedial purpose in this. “As you come through that difficulty and come out the other side, you’re going to be able to strengthen the brethren.”It was 2 Corinthians 12 where Paul says, “There was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan.” A lot of discussion about what that is. Pretty clear. Messenger is aggelos. A satanic messenger is a what; a demon. I don’t think Paul had a demon in his life, I think that’s the demon that was leading the false teachers who were ripping and shredding the Corinthian church, and Paul prayed three times that it might be removed, and the Lord didn’t remove it. Why? He says twice in 2 Corinthians 12, “to keep me from exalting myself, to keep me from exalting myself.” If God so designs He will use a demon-led false teacher association to rip up a church to humble the pastor. He’s in control of all of that, of all of it.

This is @doctorgadsaad on Real Talk with Marissa Streit One of the most compelling minds of our generation. Watch this. Gad Saad has spent his career studying what he calls idea pathogens. The ideological viruses that infect otherwise intelligent people and systematically destroy their capacity for reason. His hypothesis on why the progressive movement is so singularly focused on dismantling Western civilisation is not a political argument. It is a biological and psychological one. And it is devastatingly coherent. We look around us and we ask ourselves the same question repeatedly. How can educated people, people with university degrees and professional careers and real intelligence, genuinely believe that the most successful, most free, most prosperous civilisational model in human history is the primary source of suffering in the world. How do you arrive at that conclusion. What pathology produces it. Gad Saad has an answer. I have been watching his work for years. He is one of a small number of public intellectuals with the courage to say plainly what most of us have been thinking. The fact that he happens to be Jewish and Lebanese-born gives his perspective a dimension that the tenured ideologues screaming colonialism from their air-conditioned offices could not comprehend on their best day. Watch the full clip. Then ask yourself how we got here and what we intend to do about it.

Chamath: Fraud at this scale will end the American Empire if nothing is done “It is a crucible moment for American society.” “If nothing happens and we deem this kind of theft acceptable, it is the beginning of the end of the American Empire.” “It's just a level of disrespect and lack of care for this country.” “I will be waiting and observing how important it is to root this out, that's number one.” “The second, which is more tactical political calculus, this is an enormous opportunity for the Republican Party if they take this and run with this.” “Is there waste, fraud and abuse in every state? Absolutely. I don't think this is endemically a Democratic problem, but the scale of it is so gargantuan in these Democratic states that if the Republicans don't take advantage of it, I think it is a huge political miscalculation.” “So there is this tactical opportunity, which I think if you want to have a chance in the midterms and if you generally wanna have a chance to level-set the country, you must take this and run with it.” “And then separately, if as Friedberg says, it does die on the vine, it is the beginning of the end of the American Empire, unfortunately.”

🚨 Spoiler alert: Communism is the answer. At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Lameess Mehanna — Associate Director of Undergraduate Career Development at Columbia University and organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement — spelled it out. She began with a litany of “why” questions: “Why has the genocide continued when the masses of the world have made clear day in and day out where they stand? … Why can’t the ICC prosecute Netanyahu? … Why hasn’t the UN intervened in any real or tangible way? Why hasn’t every single country sanctioned Israel?” Her conclusion: “It’s ultimately due to the character of our global system and the role of states and corporations within it. The world order is designed to benefit the interests of a few states and ultimately a few people at the expense of the masses of the world.” And the call to action: “This is what it means to say Gaza is the compass… The only logical conclusion to ending the genocide is to transform the world that has allowed for it to happen.”

RFK Jr: "Individuals who work at NIH can collect royalties on drugs that they helped develop." "So for example, the Moderna vaccine is 50% owned by NIH, and they were promoting that vaccine. They're getting billions of dollars from that vaccine... So this distorts everything." "[NIH has] become an incubator for pharmaceutical products.... It's no longer studying why are Americans so sick. When my uncle was president, 6% of Americans had chronic disease. Today, 60% do... Why is this happening?" "NIH's job is to find that out... and it won't look for it because it knows that there is some big company that is responsible for that. It's the pharmaceutical companies. It's the food or chemical companies." "Why are we the sickest country in the world? Why has autism gone from one in 10,000 in my generation, to one in every 34 in my kids' generation? Why is one in every three kids diabetic or pre-diabetic? Why did peanut allergies suddenly appear in 1989?" "Nobody has the answers to these questions. They're easy to answer... I'm going to say to [NIH], those are the questions we're going to answer now. We're going to figure out why we're the sickest country in the world." "It's costing us $4.3 trillion a year. That's five times our military budget. And we can end it. We can end it overnight. We have to identify what's causing it." "Is it high-fructose corn syrup? Is it glyphosate from Roundup? Is it neonicotinoid pesticides? Is it the forever chemicals? It's an easy thing to identify them, and then to eliminate them." "And that's what I'm going to do."

This isn't quite right. The reason women are so susceptible to Marxist propaganda is because it is women's nature as a political philosophy. Women redistribute. Women take care of the weak. It doesn't work as a primary political system because you cannot take care of the weak if you don't have a masculine system on top to create the productivity necessary to do it. If the men aren't hunting there isn't meat that can be redistributed to the weak that can't hunt. The men have to have a reason to create the abundance necessary to redistribute. This is why you can have an immensely prosperous society that is capitalist first with the feminine organizing principle below it and it's why the opposite is not true.

NY State Senator Erik Bottcher: "Pride feels different right now. And what I'm hearing more and more is: 'Why do we need Pride? Why do you need to make it all about yourselves? Why are you talking about it so much? Why do you need a Pride Month at all?' And the best way to put it is: Pride is the opposite of shame. And shame is a kind of being that every one of us has known since the minute that we realized that we were different. It is a sharp pain, shame, and there are people who want us to continue feeling shame. They think we should be ashamed. That has been true, Mr. President, for thousands of years. Thousands of years of persecution. We've been hunted down. Attacked. Murdered. Jailed. I think about the countless people throughout history who have had to live loveless lives. Think about that for a minute. Think about the person that you love most in the world -- your spouse, a person that you couldn't live without -- and now imagine being told that you couldn't talk to them again. And if you were seen holding their hand, you would be put in jail and they would throw away the key. That's been happening for thousands of years, and it is happening in the world right now."
