    A Start in Considering What is the God of this Age

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 14, 2022 19:17


    As I was driving to feed my pigs, I thought I would share what I've been thinking about regarding the god of this age. You see, humans are created to worship something, but today we don't worship images of gold or silver or wood. This makes it hard to see the idols of our age and the god behind them. The question I have been asking is what is this god? The answer I come back to is the internet, as it most purely reflects what we ourselves desire to be. Anyway, it's a little bit random, but it's a start on putting my thinking into words. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/support

    Boy am I a dummy! I finally figured out what people are saying when they say that gender is related to grammar. Maybe you already knew this, but if not hopefully it's helpful. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/support

    Abortion, always evil?

    JP Sears put out a video recently regarding abortion. I interact with this. I appreciate that he's trying to be intellectually honest and to take responsibility for his own ideas. I do disagree with part of his conclusions, and I hope that after hearing this it is clear why. Murder is always wrong, and abortion is murder. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/support

    iRobot. I watched it. It gave me some thoughts regarding humanity's being hellbent on suicide, the dangers of centralization, and the inversions we create to try and get rid of God. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/support

    Voluntary Slavery - Comfort, Corporations, Etc.

    We are always enslaved to something. My contention is there are only two options. We have enslaved ourselves to the harsh master of comfort, are we ready to give up that idle in order to be set free? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/support

    Efficient Dehumanization - Humans and Work

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 19, 2021 42:38


    This episode takes a rambling stroll through the idea that efficiency as a goal dehumanizes. Having worked in an office managing people, and learning about continuous improvement (namely lean), I have begun to question the idea of efficiency, especially as a goal. Jaques Ellul (unless I got it wrong), in relation to technology, said something like "man is seeking an improved means to an unimproved end." Perhaps we have become less than human in our unending search to make more stuff with less effort. Perhaps humans are meant to take more time at what they do and maybe consume less. Perhaps our search for more has begun to change how we perceive humanity, especially in regards to work. Hope the ramble is worth the listen.

    Absolute Truth, The "Left," Progressivism, and the Constitution

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 11, 2021 42:26


    A ramble while driving to work. Sorry about the audio. Was talking with my daughter about progressivism and I got to thinking about how truth becomes subjective with no absolutes, and therefore is based on power and not law. Etc., etc. Hope it is interesting. josh@randomconfab.com if you want to send me any feedback. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/support

    I talk about my four points that must hold before I will put a lie on my face in the form of a mask. If any one of these points falls I cannot help but see the wearing of a mask is simply a lie that I wear. I hope this episode is helpful in thinking through these issues, and I hope I don’t come across as someone who knows all the answers.

    Just some of my thoughts regarding this whole coronavirus lockdown and now a new source of division among people. This is a battle being played out, a spiritual battle. Humans are being driven apart from each other. The virus is not the only sickness, and it’s good to be aware of these things. Just thought I’d throw a few thoughts out there unscripted, but I’m planning on studying and writing and hopefully releasing some material that is more thoughtful and well put together. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randomconfab/message
