I don’t know how many GOP members of the House and Senate watch @VelshiMSNBC so I have a favor to ask of you: If you know any, or know anyone who knows any, could you pass this message on to them for me? #velshi

While the GOP is busy trying to tear down democracy, there are some difficult realities facing America right now that could really use their attention. We are starting 2021 off in bad shape, considering that this is the most prosperous country on earth. #velshi

America is not the most populous nation in the world; it’s only about 4.25% of the global population. Yet America accounts for nearly a quarter of the world’s coronavirus cases and deaths. #velshi

55 million Americans are living in poverty. You’ve seen images of cars lined up at food banks. 1 in 6 Americans are now food insecure, meaning they aren’t certain whether they will have the resources to put food on the table for their next meal. #velshi

In America, most people’s health care coverage is, stupidly, tied to their job, so 29 million Americans now don’t have health insurance. Up to 40 million renters are far enough behind on their rent to be living in fear of eviction. #velshi

Christmas Trinity: Only the Son is incarnate, but the incarnation is the work of the whole Trinity. You can see why a distinction is helpful here: to recognize the undivided work of God toward us, but to specify the Son's incarnation exclusively.

Luther loved to use a homey image for this (one which he attributed to Bonaventure). The incarnation is like three girls putting a garment onto one of them: all three put it on, but only one has it put onto her.

Is it possible to be more precise? Well, although the work is undivided, the distinct persons are evident in the incarnation in a way that corresponds to their order of existence within the eternal relations: the Father unbegotten, the Son begotten, the Spirit proceeding.

Let's take the Father first: Just as he is the eternal origin of the Son, he is source of the Son's sending. The Father's sending of the Son is an extension of the Son's eternal begetting or generation. A real trinitarian mission makes known the eternal procession behind it.

This is why the Bible declares that the Father sends the Son: because this sending extends, or makes present among us, an eternal relation. Less specifically, we might say the Trinity sends the Son (or even that the Son sends himself!), but that's loose talk.

Pep’s approach on Saturday bored a global audience to tears. Let’s look at:
Why he did it?
Why it worked?
And why we might have to get used to it?
A thread 1/

Pep sent Fernandinho and Rodri out in a double pivot. Since defeat at Spurs, when City set up in the traditional 4-3-3, Pep has deployed a double pivot for the last 6 matches. It stops the dm being isolated and subsequently the centre backs being exposed 2/

Pep set up like this in order to keep control. In the Spurs defeat and the derby defeats last season City lost control when the opposition countered. It was impossible to track runners on quick breaks with 1 dm and City were often all at sea 3/

With the addition of an extra dm, and consequently a more defensive approach, City were able to cope with United’s counters.
United didn’t create any big chances and only looked dangerous from set pieces 4/

City created 3 big chances, all of which were spurned. That was Pep’s plan in a nutshell, completely nullify United’s main threat and rely on City’s front 4 to create big chances. From that perspective it worked. Pep’s post match comments told the story 5/

Many anti-market folks assert that property must have arisen from someone claiming for himself that which was jointly used. That's their bias, not an explanation or theory. Private property can emerge from joint or communal use without conflict. When it does, it is by definition

legitimate property. Locke showed how it could be done through mixing one's labor with unowned/unclaimed land. I have previously drafted an alternative theory. Neither claims that all existing property, or even the existing property *system*, is therefore

legitimate, only that there can be legitimate private property. This is enough to carefully consider the concept, which must be accepted as a potential alternative solution for social production and economy. The arguments for property-based production are very strong, which is,

I suspect, what actually drives the anti-market folks' refusal to consider the potential for legitimate property: with it, their position becomes a very steep uphill battle. This may also be the reason they make vague historical claims, as though any historical action would

invalidate the concept itself (it does not). But it is not difficult to see how legitimate property could emerge without any conflict. Elinor Ostrom's work shows how communal property might not lead to the 'tragedy of the commons' because users adopt rules of use that create

1.OK so here is my response to the mess.
Here we have 2 things: the good ol calculation problem and Marxists having no idea what they are talking about when it comes to post-capitalism.
Lets address the latter first.

2.For some reason a lot of leftcoms/classical marxists/orthodox marxists believe that socialismand comunism are very decentralised.This comes from interpretation of shit said inThe German ideology(btw i very much dislike the book and think there is a reason it was never published

3.There marx says that comunism will be the freee asociation of producers. I do agree with this but i have always interpreted it as producers being free from the limitations of capital as a concept and not free as in anarchic decentralised way.
As i will show later decentralised

4.communism is not technologically possible and doesnt make much sense( you would need some kind of hive min d tech for pure peer to peer society). Untill that is the case we will have to connect to a server.

5. Now that we cleared up that we are not talking about a situation of separate "communities" producing for eachother( and thus leading to barter, common unit and markets) we need to define what we are talking about.
A post capitalist system will have to be

By intimidating ICC, we killed our new constitution and lost an important historical chance. Fifth thread on Railaphobia in Kikuyuland - LONG THREAD

Kenyans are very thankless. We don’t honour heroes and those who sacrifice for the common good. That’s why charlatans, thieves, and murderers flourish in our politics. In this thread I focus on Kikuyu betrayal that has landed us into the current crisis

A Kikuyu succeeded Moi through a twist of fate, but their leaders were completely outwitted by Moi. It was very selfish to turn around and spread malicious hate against Raila once Kibaki became the President. Without Odinga family, Moi wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

Kikuyus profile of betrayal is painful. Having suffered so much humiliation and victimization under Moi they were all helpless. Moi had control of the police and judiciary and had given immunity to those who offended Kikuyus in any way, including killing them.

Kikuyu houses in Rift Valley would be burnt at will and no legal recourse. A close Moi aide in Maasai land, William OleNtimama openly threatened and insulted Kikuyu people even in Moi presence. “Lie low like an antelope” he would reprimand Kikuyus in Narok

THREAD: Maps, Legends and Keys

Double meanings exist:

Legend
Guide

2) More double meanings exist:

Key
Door

Could a reference to "door of all doors" mean an opening to knowledge instead of a physical door?

3) When does a map become a legend?

Perhaps when a 'legend' was created to conceal a map?

Perhaps when a 'legend' IS the guide?

4) Snow White had 7 Dwarfs

Snow White = 1
Dwarfs = 7

Traditions vary, but you'll be faced with about 2 ounches of a brown fluid.

A typical batch tastes like you'd imagine motor oil would.

If you're lucky, it will taste like espresso that's been left out overnight.

You take a drink, wait.

The longest 30 minutes of your life....

If it's your first time, you've read blogs and listened to some podcasts. But you're about to learn that you're not prepared.

If you'd gone under before, you may be more on edge than the newcomers.

You know *something* is about to hit, and don't know what.

You sit and wait...

"The fear of the thing is always greater than the thing itself," is true 99% of the time.

You dread asking for something, because you fear rejection. But the rejection is never that bad.

As you're sitting, waiting, wondering, you brace for the thing you fear.

Before experiencing ayahuasca, first-time users obsess over whether they will throw or take a crap.

Going in, that's what you're afraid of. "Will I shit my pants?"

You have NO IDEA how trivial such banal concerns are about to seem...

When you're hunched over a bucket, yes it hurts. Puking like the worst food poisoning you've have.

And you're so grateful.

Because you're back in your body.

You're alive.

You may have felt like you'd never return.

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor No sir the Senate can convene until January 19th at the earliest the only reason why they can't convene earlier is because it only takes one Senator to say I don't want to go and they don't go he has way more than one objection number two it's unconstitutional

@Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor The Democrats are respected to officially have an article of impeachment finished but they have said they're going to delay sending this article to Senate it's mostly just to score cheap political points and say hey look at me I impeach him twice

@Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor Constitutionally you cannot impeach a president that is no longer president when the Constitution was formed it was very strict in Article 2 that it would be different from the Imperial rule of England where a private citizen could be impeached

@Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor So what will happen is one Senator will automatically reject the Senate will not come back until January 19th Joe will be sworn in at 12 and at 12:01 the articles of impeachment expire as it is unconstitutional to hold a impeachment of a private citizen

@Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor Trump will still be entitled to all of his benefits under the previous presidents Act including his pension and everything else and he will be able to hold office any office because you must fully impeach and convict before that can happen they don't have time simple

Hmmm. Everything has gone terribly wrong.

The beauty of the broadening of sense perception during the process of awakening is unique.

I still remember my ceremonies every galactic marker, every solstice and every equinox, I was delighted when beloved elementals entered my body and activated my sensations on crazy,absurd

and magical levels!

Taste makes me delight in every flavor that exploded in me with thousands of new sensations, so I enjoy enormously every bite, every inhalation, every kiss seems to be the last one always! lol

My sense of smell ... I could and I can see the colors associated with each smell, feeling its origin and the mixture of smells is confused as an infinite, powerful and unique amalgam that generates a deep pleasure and enervate my senses.

The sounds. Wow. I could hear miles away, and every step of the insects, the whispers of plants and elementals mocking my perceptions so limited that they were offered unique and isolated in which each sense was only a piece apart. not way... sound are magical an powerful

The amplified view is a monumental and unique phenomenon...not only being able to see at great distances, but seeing every detail until I enter the microscopic niel and see the heartbeat of every cell, the piezoelectric sensation of every movement, and when I close them and

I just re-read Bernoulli’s 1738 paper “Exposition of a New Theory on the Measurement of Risk” which is the foundational paper of Expected Utility Theory.

It’s Amazing

It’s so wildly different than EUT that its hard to believe this was its beginning.

Let’s see if you agree.

The paper isn't about utility. It’s about expected value.

Bernoulli used the utility concept to get the reader to abandon the traditional view of expected value(arithmetic average), and then used it to derive the equation for valuing risk.

The final equation doesn’t use utility

He starts out the paper identifying that tradition evaluation of risk come from expected values, which are calculated with the arithmetic average.

Notice the rule here in italics is about expected values.

Then points out that this average ignores anything about the specific financial circumstances of the participant. It’s not a risk aversion point, but that a poor person values money differently than a rich person.

Therefore the rule for determining expected values must not be correct. An item is valued by its usefulness (utility) therefore the expected value must also reflect the usefulness it yields.

This was originally Latin, so not sure of the translation, but I love the word yields.

I received many DMs asking about my experience overseas. I wanted to share my time in Singapore, where we lived for 7 years. We moved there when my eldest was 6 months old. My second child was born in Singapore.

We were on an Employment Pass for many years before we made the decision to apply for Permanent Residency. About 4 years into our stay in Singapore, I received a letter from the government.

Letter was sent from a government unit. It was a personalised letter addressing my wife & children’s names. It talked about importance of people in Singapore’s nation building.

The letter also assigned me a relationship manager who gave me her contact details if I wanted to know about life in Singapore, assimilation & how I’d like to contribute to community or national development work

My colleagues said it was a cryptic way to encourage me to apply for PR. We were very comfortable in Singapore, it was home and we could see ourselves living there for a long time. We applied for PR.

The following four scenarios will be discussed at the continued session of the 13th #OPEC & Non-OPEC meeting today:
1-Given the expected growth of demand by 5.9million bpd in 2021 and the expected growth of supply by non-OPEC countries by 1.1million bpd, as agreed in Dec... #OOTT

.... the 23 countries will increase production by 500 thousand bpd for the month of February - similar to January.

2- Given the expected growth of demand by 3.9 million bpd in 2021 , and the expected growth of supply by non-#OPEC countries by 800 (or 900) thousand bpd,...#OOTT

... as agreed in December, the production by the 23 countries will increase by 500 thousand for the month of February - similar to January. This scenario is practically the same as scenario number one, expect for lower forecasts for demand and supply. #OOTT

3- No increase (of 500 thousand bpd) for the months of February and March, and an increase of 500 thousand bpd for the moths of April, May and June each. In this scenario as well the ministers will hold monthly meetings to appraise the market and decide. #OOTT

4-The 500 thousand bpd increased in January to be decreased for the month of February. No increase for the month of March, and instead an increase of 500 thousand bpd for the months of April, May, June, and July. The probability for this scenario is considered to be low. #OOTT

The "tough/hardass" coaching model occasionally works on the HS/college level because athletes have no control.

It largely fails on the pro level because athletes have more autonomy & understand their value

Pro's want to be treated as people, not subordinates.

Why? A thread:

It's not that young athletes don't want the same things (autonomy) as older. It's that there's an inherent power differential and they are nearly powerless to escape it.

They "survive" the 'tough' training, they don't thrive under it.

Human motivation is very simple. Self Determination Theory boils it down to 3 basic needs:
1. Feel like you belong
2. Feel like you can make progress
3. Feel like you have some control over your life (autonomy)

Intrinsic motivation largely fuels the "obsession" you see from top performers to practice their craft over and over.

That doesn't come from a coach or someone dictating and directing. Over the long haul, it has to come from within.

As you can see, the "hardass" all the time approach runs counter to at least one of our basic motivational needs.

Over time, you erode self-motivation and have to replace it with something else, or else you lose people.

That something else if often more extrinsic motivation.
