Absolute freedom is satanic. Jesus seeks willing bondslaves. At the same time, the existence of freedom is divine. God designed us to exercise free will.
The entire test is to choose to not exercise it always. To defer to God and those He puts over you. That's it. Most will fail.
When you put it that way, she sounds extremely Republican.
The individual as the atom of society is Enlightenment poison. The irreducible unit of society is the family, with its non-consensual responsibilities and obligations.
From there, recognition of tribe is inescapable.
Leftists upset by counter-semitism isn't new.
That makes it sound like they're duped. Make no mistake, it's a choice.
Is that a real quote?
SOP is to lowball offers and/or require a thousand years experience, then tell the government that there aren't any qualified candidates and hire pajeets for pennies and reinforcements.
Prepare for recoil in 3...2....
Nah, there's no desperation. The three of them make a decent living off of patreon. They're uber-normies. They might suspect something is wrong, but they'll never know what. They're just going to consoom themselves into a child-less retirement.
They quite literally are. They've stopped reviewing blockbusters and their main review show routinely goes over streaming horror shovelware. The burnout isn't hidden at all.
I find it really comforting. It means it's not just me.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
John 14:6-7
The man who despises the truth despises God his creator. God has an opinion on those people.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Galatians 6:7-8
Life is not nearly so precious as our liberal, pathologically empathetic society would have you believe.
Capital punishment is a deterrent to the population with high enough IQ to learn from others' mistakes. It may not be a deterrent to the low IQ population (even this, I question. Regular public hangings have to penetrate pretty far down the bell curve.), but literally nothing will deter some of them, and those are the ones we're better off without anyway.
Good take from the herald of chaos incarnate.
Lack of access to bobs and vegene explains a lot, actually.
His wife is a dot-head. Shit's fucked.
Next time, stay fucked off.
I really like the AI voodoo gods, but not as much as the cosmic position the AI are left in at the end of the first book. I get why Gibson needed to reset the scope, but it's still a little disappointing.
The sequels still have genre defining moments. The extraction that Count Zero opens with is pure cyberpunk. And I like them as stories. Molly babysitting a little girl is fun. But they just aren't perfect the way Neuromancer is.
I worry it might build pools and concert halls again, instead of solving the problem.
Neuromancer is one of my favorite, too, if not outright number one. It's such a shame, I've never found anything else that does cyberpunk justice. At best, it's all just aesthetic without any pathos. Altered Carbon came close, but Morgan isn't as good a writer as Gibson.
Even the other Sprawl books are fun, but not on the same level. It's weird, but I consider "cyberpunk" a genre with exactly one entry.
How do you feel about the yids?
