τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν
ὥσπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα χωρὶς πνεύματος νεκρόν ἐστιν, οὕτως καὶ ἡ πίστις χωρὶς ἔργων νεκρά ἐστιν
Non est beatus, esse se qui non putat.

I've felt for a long time that it looks like patreon/substack. However, I am a consumer not a creator. What are your thoughts about the incentives those programs create?

Are we still lacking a good explanation for *why* it has increased by $2,600 (current dollars) over 10 years, despite the educational product remaining exactly the same?

I keep seeing it implied that Billups arrest had something to do with legalized sports gambling, but all the reporting I read indicates that it was more to do with illegal poker? Is there a coherent account of what has happened?

We're providing sex ed to our kids and it's not weird at all?
Granted our circumstance is slightly unique in that my wife is a midwife and so these topics come up naturally in every day conversation. But still, none of the kids seem to be offput by it at all.

I'm an adoptive parent, and the psychological consequences of genetic discontinuity between parent and child were not something I anticipated. My bio kids are much younger than my adopted kids, but I can already see that our minds are just a little closer in thought patterns out of the box.

I'm reading Robin Hobb's *Shaman's Crossing* right now, and the back cover mentions a plot element from the last 15% of the book, with almost no mention of the entire first half of the story. It's bizarre.

The ecology of the Lion King bothered me. Shouldn't too many predators should result in vegetation *overgrowth*, not a barren desolate landscape??

I also wear them in the car, when I don't want to blast all the kids with my podcast or audiobook. Full marks all around.

I just got some of these and I completely agree! I had previously been using some very nice noise cancelling headphones, but had noticed that I felt...off...when wearing them, especially if I was interacting with my kids.
Open ear completely fixed that problem! Plus they're much better for running.

IMO if you want to be maximally honest, you should trial the product for several months before accepting advertising money, and only continue to accept money if you continue to use the product. Ideally you go through the same user experience as everyone else (e.g. no customer service shortcuts).

I think trying to divide your self into "real" and "not-real" is a false categorization, motivated by moralization and not understanding. There's "me on medication" and "me off medication", and you can choose the one you like better for a given circumstance.
