Harvard’s DeEp ThoUghts on Race and just how easy is it for drug cartels to get FDIC insurance?
It’s “institutional rot” Friday. Plus, Zach Abraham and I discuss one photo that proves the green, electric vehicle lie.
Episode 616: What Harvard calls deep, important, brave thoughts; And, guess what happens when you hire awful people because they are black or another BIPOC?
Can they not smell the rot at Harvard? Or, is it that rich, elite stink that--like high pitched sounds and dogs--only we underlings can smell. Here’s why I ask. If that is putrid enough, how about ending Honnor Codes at Princeton because “the black” and “the BIPOCS” and the such apparently cannot be expected to act with honor? We will examine the many crossovers in institutional rot and the one thing we can do to slow it.
What does God say?
God has let many seemingly unbreakable kings fade to dust. The Party is simply the latest group to make of themselves faux-gods
37 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
39 “After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.
Episode 617: Since FTX could invest in FDIC Insured banks, why can’t the drug cartels? Plus, the lie of green energy in one, single photo - Zach Abraham joins!
When a single picture can put the lie to your movement--in this case, “green electric vehicles”--your entire movement is a lie. When FTX, a clearly shady, pretty obviously scammy cyber-currency firm located in the Bahamas can invest made-up money in an FDIC insured bank, why would we think the drug cartels and other terrorist groups are not doing the same? Zach Abraham joins and somehow gets me--Todd--to tell one of my favorite stories of narrowly avoiding being killed by the mob.
What does God say?
We live in an age when politics and finance have become faux-gods to so many. But, why? Could it be that, because we were designed to seek God, in our sick culture, people prefer their fake gods of human power? We are not the first age to see people make fake-gods:
22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
