Finessing
Did time exist prior to the big bang? What happens after death? Will the universe snap into two once it is done expanding? What happens after the Epstein list goes public? Who actually planned 9/11? Do aliens even exist? Is Pee Dee rational or schizophrenic?
Truth seeking is a dangerous game, and could be dangerous for the entire world. There could be uproar, civic disobedience, dissolutions of powers, civil wars, nuclear wars, famine, especially if such ‘truths’ form the foundation of your very civilization. For instance, saying something truthful but radical like Buddha isn’t a god, could disrupt plenty of countries that think that Buddha is god — assuming that they do, which they don’t.
It is difficult to maintain ‘peace’ especially when it could annihilate your economy. You tend to cover up truths, promote lies to limit natural order or control narratives, even conspire against to protect themselves. Some have even collaborated to undermine a rival economies causing economic stagnations for decades. However, there is one massive lie (I’m sure there are more) in this whole world that every government is complicit of. It is such an obvious lie that it begs a very fundamental question. Why do they allow it?
There are many people speaking up against it, debating it, even questioning its very existence, yet somehow it is still recognized, even allowed and accepted by many countries. Thanks to the digital age, and victimhood, everyone is expressing themselves to the injustices of the world. Are they right? wrong? I truly do not know. The past exists to prevent repeat mistakes — that is my only take. Should it continue to exist, or should the hammer come down, or should it slowly die out? I don’t know. But we should reach a consensus together. Do we allow ‘pride’ into schools? workplaces? religious institutions? governments?
But mistakes keep repeating. So where do we draw the line? How can we, as a unit, achieve consensus? Extremely difficult to provide a definite answer. But it is important that we learn and grow with one another. In a world where there aren’t any borders, we should assimilate, not discriminate. And we should respect the decisions of nations that do not want to assimilate.
Nations should protect their sovereignty however they want, especially from dangerous people with dangerous ideologies. But they should do it openly and transparently while recognizing human rights. Diplomacy and political correctness is unrighteous. Not only for your integrity which impedes growth and unity, but also not by God.
Yeah I know we’re dependent on one another, but bombs of truths, especially through big political leaders, should unify us quicker rather than later. Only the Truth will set us free, and we’ve been drowning, and suffering in too much lies. This goes to all leaders from all over the world. Drop them down, call a spade a spade and not a prepubescent shovel.
But that’s never going to happen. Higher ups can’t afford to stir public unrest. But the public can. Power belongs to the people, technically. Censorship is probably our only deterrent. If only Wikipedia had a section to debate, more people would either be more educated, or more confused.
Christians are pluralists and I’ve often seen this as a weakness. But I now understand that it isn’t. Turning the other cheek doesn’t mean giving in to the aggressor, but rather, revealing a better way to them. Christianity is pluralist by nature, meaning we accept everyone and prefer existing among two or more religions, approaches, views, standards, to reveal the better way to others.
I just blew my own mind. Let your light shine before others. Live such good lives among the pagans. Be an example to the believers.

When we delve into specifics, we aren’t commanded to proselytize and force people into Christianity, we are taught to evangelize, to teach and make disciples. Nothing more, nothing less. When the British and other colonizers went across the world, they used religion/Christianity as a political vehicle, not so much as to subjugate and instill order, but to establish schools, hospitals and places of worship. They used religion to develop a form of social order which is currently slowly dying away in Asia, and many places around the world.
The lack of social support and the move to highly capitalistic societies are leaving a gap where the poor, needy and orphaned were once looked after. Unfortunately, most churches over here did not invest money into long term assets or plans, but continually gave them away hoping the people would look after the churches, but with time, the cost to run all their operations took a toll on them and they’ve been forced to slowly sell their schools and lands.
I suppose most people are a little like me, I dislike seeing “rich” churches because they promoted an image of God I found hypocritical. Come for the vibes and nothing more. Some leaders become corrupt with money and some churches even promote sin by owning shopping malls and etc. I am truly conflicted in this matter and wish I could solve this issue through God fearing; spiritual, physical, and mental health enriching financial assets/instruments.
If the church wants to keep doing Gods work in the social welfare sector; schools, orphanages, hospitals, they should also be financially literate to do well in a capitalist society while adhering to the Christian ethos. One sector will always be in deficit, while the other will be in profit. Makes sense to find a way to balance it out right? Some businesses are needed to support others that are foundational to a community.
Things don’t always work out the way you intended, but it certainly makes you open your eyes. Like how can one build a self sustaining ecosystem? How can you ensure that it’ll last forever? What are some essential values or factors to instill both theologically and financial? Does the hierarchy structure affect it? Does having a board/trust affect it? How can you depend on people to make it last forever?
Difficult to answer cause even empires crumble. No matter how much you plan and organize your pixels into a picture, and meticulously assemble 172,800 pictures for a 2 hour long movie, all that effort goes to waste if the movie doesn’t catch the audiences attention, or gets caught up in flames. But what helps if everyone pitches in, assembles those pixels and pictures and together, we keep improving the movie. Adjusting the pixels with every generation. Finessing with time, cause it is extremely difficult to get it right the first time around.
There are many pixels that can’t be defined for now, questions that can’t be answered or validated, It should be about time we decide what we want for ourselves wherever we are and contribute towards it as a community. Democracy was designed for this very purpose, we now just need leaders to help pave the way. Build a narrative we can all work with and build upon. We’re too polarized and it’s a bad thing. Would anyone like to work together?
It isn’t about building one business and becoming rich from it. It is about building an ecosystem and making your community comfortable. The only way to build a sustainable ecosystem is through blockchain. Find a way to complete a ‘loop’ and keep replicating.
It isn’t difficult, but new technologies need to be developed. I hope some of you get inspired and build an ecosystem that enriches more than just yourselves.
