Emetic agent of a book

Revisado: 08-26-23

Read if you’ve accidentally swallowed poison. I look forward to the next book in this series: glorifying nefarious and disgraced political characters, published by Alternate Reality Press called “Honest Bill Clinton the Faithful Husband”.

Horrible Zionist Propaganda

Revisado: 03-15-23

Brutalizes Hislap in a most unchristian and unnecessary fashion. This is a comic book compared to Hislap. Errors, contradictions, hypocrisies, omissions too numerous to mention. Sources are the S. F. Chronicle, Washington Post, Slate, and a CIA agent. Extra-biblical sources galore though he faults Hislap for using ancient historians.

Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, you’re the best!

Scholar Makes Living

Revisado: 02-19-22

Christians will dislike this course if they understand the implications of the Deuteronomistic history and theories. This course is for people interested in people who make a living, publish scholarly papers, vie for acclaim from their equally lost peers and achieve tenure arguing about who wrote the Bible and for what ulterior political motive. Christians don't have these doubts. They believe the Bible is a revelation from God and they use it for salvation, spiritual transformation and learning about their Creator---its proper use. Christians will find the irreverent joke in a later lecture about God loving the smell of Bar-B-Que the same old uncomprehending atheist mockery. The book of Ruth is sullied with lude Shaekespearian double entendre and made a mere romance novel by the professor's modernistic projections. If all you've ever heard is Hindemith, even birdsong brings you wind of it. Her contantly hammering home the obvious fact that the Bible everywhere asserts, that there was "diversity of religious practice" is bizarre unless you understand how important "diversity" is at Oberlin.Yeah, it was diverse---that was the problem! That the professor doesn't understand the primary symbolism of the Abraham/Isaac sacrifice story but uses it for her exile theories is blind, probably willing blindness. Neither does she understand the destruction of the Canaanites (more atheist ignorance) and laughably assumes the moral high ground (in this day and age!) with sneering superiority when she imagines catching God committing a woke sin by prohibiting intermarriage with the child-sacrificing Canaanites. It's sad to see a person studying the Bible their entire life for the wrong reasons and learning nothing. Charles Finney would not approve.

Apologetics are more interesting when challenged.

Revisado: 02-15-22

I'm a crypto fan. Guy recommended this book. I did learn more pro-blockchain talking points and jargon, increased my understanding on the topic. I wanted it to be a little more technical, but maybe I should be careful what I wish for.

The scope of the talks is narrow, mostly comparing and contrasting blockchain technology to legacy financial systems, completely ignoring any potentially negative effects, socially or otherwise, which seemed a little strange given his obvious exposure to McLuhan.

I have to remember the book is 5 years old before I chuckle at his optimism regarding fees for transferring Bitcoin. A roll of quarters at the bank is still 10 dollars. Crypto exchanges rob you buying, selling and transferring. Really, worse than a bank.

I'm not a fan of his technological determinism, nor his naive unalloyed optimism. I wonder if he still believes in decentralization in the age of whale manipulation. I wonder if he believes atomic, biological gain of function, or climate change omelets can be eggs once more.

He who regulates (SEC) dominates. If you have to ask for Bitcoin to be legal---it's a Master/Slave relationship. Saints preserve us from technophiles who, having obtained specialized knowledge in one field think that qualifies them to dictate the future course of humanity.
