Also, "faith vs science" is a falsely-aporetic conflict, and looking to the scientific method to prove or disprove the existence of God is self-refuting.

Attacking a strawman to a certain extent. Jay Leno had this segment called JayWalking where he'd highlight the dumbest people on the street, but there's a good amount of filtering to get to that choice group.

It takes a lot of self-assurance to reveal this kind of thing. I dig it.

Wow. Thanks for that, Meg. Amazing to be one of nine—what a gift...so was my mom!

Congratulations! For me it was catch-as-catch-can, but one suggestion is to take on the SF hills with a jogging stroller.

How does everyone feel about this? (I guess it applies to /los-angeles, too—when not in standstill traffic.) https://sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/car-speed-governors-bill-18624126.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral

Where do you land on the question? Either in terms of salvation or more broadly?

The best solve for this IMO is Molinism which allows for our free will but also a providential God acting in the Universe and with His creation.

No. Because God would necessarily be the author of evil—as opposed to passively permitting it—since He determines every action (including evil ones).

I hear you...there are genres we have yet to explore, too. I've found that when I want to gouge my eyes out from Baby Shark overexposure—but also not interested in playing gangsta rap for the kiddos—I often to go 60s/70s music (e.g., Beach Boys, Beatles): melodic/singable, innocent, dancey.

Many of the casts about Peter Attia’s "Outlive" were a while ago now, but @andrewchen included this fascinating graph in an email just this AM. Haven't read "Outlive" yet, but I imagine there's an analog w/ muscle mass / resistance training, where, to be at Point B at age 75 requires you to be at Point A at 45? /data

This is wonderful. ...but if you *did* want a more elegant solution, Rocket Money's recurring charges/subscriptions management engine is decent.

Indeed, save your ducats. But also we are failing as a society to the extent mentally healthy people end up on the street.

Thanks much, Tim. This has got to be it—I must've dreamed it was a cast and it was just this tweet I caught.
