"Throughout its illegal invasion, Russia has struck over 540 religious and cultural sites across Ukraine.
With every drone and missile it launches, Russia exposes its claim of defending Orthodoxy for the lie it is."

Was a joy to get to #divinelitugy this morning. Many reasons. It was in English. Rather than 500+ people it was small and intimate. But mostly I have longed and longed for a sacramental expression of #christianity, though i wouldnt have been able to express that before. Now the body and blood has become deeply #mystical and I love it. #orthodoxy rocks

Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2More about this quote: wist.info/emerson-ralph-waldo/…

I just discovered that the Greek word for 'entertainment' and for 'dispersal' share the same root. In #orthodoxy theology the fall of Adam led to the fracturing of his psyche leading to (as I understand it ... probably very much in-part) the focus of his attention becoming external to his inner being rather than centered on his interior life of intimacy with his creator. His attention was dispersed, losing his inner perfection
Thus entertainment, a gift of course, has the potential to fracture and disperse our thoughts all over again.
So what? #orthodox #theology is the gift that keeps on giving. It even sheds light on my modern day addiction to my phone. The desire to recover the inner stillness leads to my repeated fracturing/dispersal as I medicate myself on the phone.
And this in part explains to my mind why the emphasise on sin is more as a disease that needs healing and less on a charge sheet the needs removing rather than wrong actions.
Just mind blowingly awesome.

"The problem is that honest efforts to preserve Buddhism can head down a slipperly slope to rigid, sterile orthodoxy. This has happened over and over through Buddhist history. As we slide further down that slope, essential principles and functions are forgotten. Experiential understanding is replaced with scholarship; then scholarship is replaced with text-worship. Living practice turns into rote ritual performance."

All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.

Un gouverneur vint faire un discours sur son "opération spéciale" qu'il avait en grande estime.
Je lui réponds : vous vous justifiez vous-mêmes devant les hommes; mais Dieu connaît vos cœurs; c'est pourquoi ce qui est grand devant les hommes, est en abomination devant Dieu.https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/parade-militaire-du-9-mai-l-armee-russe-affronte-une-force-agressive-soutenue-par-l-otan-affirme-vladimir-poutine-20260509

Men insist most vehemently upon their certainties when their hold upon them has been shaken. Frantic orthodoxy is a method for obscuring doubt.

Tomorrow will be the end of my first full participation in #orthodox great lent fast. It has been eventful, hard, long, and intense all that the same time. I can't express how deep #orthodoxy is. I am so glad to be a part of it.

A quotation from Henry Commager
A nation which, in the name of loyalty or of patriotism or of a sincere and high-sounding idea, discourages criticism and dissent, and puts a premium on acquiescence and conformity, is headed for disaster.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
We are told “God so loved the world” that he is going to damn almost everybody. If this orthodox religion be true, some of the greatest, and grandest, and best who ever lived are suffering God’s torments to-night. It does not appear to make much difference with the members of the church. They go right on enjoying themselves about as well as ever. If this doctrine is true, Benjamin Franklin, one of the wisest and best of men, who did so much to give us here a free government, is suffering the tyranny of God to-night, although he endeavored to establish freedom among men. If the churches were honest, their preachers would tell their hearers: “Benjamin Franklin is in hell, and we warn all the youth not to imitate Benjamin Franklin. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, with its self-evident truths, has been damned these many years.”
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1884-01-20), “Orthodoxy,” Tabor Opera House, Denver, ColoradoMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

Thesis:
"Ai is not making profits canard."We are misapplying a quarterly reporting framework to what might be the last #infrastructure #investment category in history. Where the returns are structurally deferred but theoretically civilisational in scale.
👉CIVILISATIONAL IN SCALE 👈
Many individual AI companies are absolutely in Ponzi territory. But the aggregate investment, like the fiber optic overbuild of the 1990s, is laying infrastructure whose returns accrue to survivors and society long after the current investors are wiped out.
Dismissing AI investment on "no current revenue" grounds is the equivalent of dismissing Telcos fiber rollout in late 1990 because it wasn't profitable that quarter.
The relevant question isn't present earnings. It's whether the underlying productive capacity is real, and who ultimately captures the returns when they materialise. This is why its super imprtant that #AiRegulation is a thing. Will the infinite future profits go to the oligarchs or to the people.
