Goliath's Actual Height?

Scientists reveal the surprising height of the Biblical giant GoliathDaily Mail Online, By Wiliam Hunter, on January 26, 2025https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14317919/Scientists-reveal-Goliath-height-Bible.htmlIn this discussion, the panel dives into the controversy surrounding Goliath's height and the potential medical diagnosis of gigantism. The article in question suggests that Goliath may have had gigantism, a condition caused by an overproduction of growth hormone, leading to extreme height and other health problems. The conversation shifts to whether this medical condition would make Goliath a fitting candidate for the biblical fight against David. Some members of the panel question the relevance of such historical details, arguing that it doesn't really matter in the broader scope of faith or mythology. However, others explore how the story of David and Goliath could be a literary device designed to symbolize something larger than just a battle of physical strength. They suggest that the story, in its exaggerated form, might have been created to illustrate the triumph of the underdog, with David's victory representing divine intervention over seemingly insurmountable odds. The team also discusses how the details surrounding Goliath's size and medical condition might be less important than the symbolic meaning behind the story, urging a shift from focusing on historical accuracy to examining the underlying narrative. Ultimately, they conclude that the specifics of Goliath's height and health issues may matter less than the lesson conveyed in the biblical tale.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.06.1 featuring Jimmy Jr., Helen Greene, Rob, and AJBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Ep. 152: Greenland, Canada, Panama: Chronicles of a Foreign Policy Foretold?

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/greenland-canada-panama-how-trump-2-0-is-going-to-be-a-wild-ride-13852423.htmlIn a week when a staggeringly large wildfire laid Los Angeles low, for which the ‘progressive' mayor and the governor could be partly to blame, it was also intriguing to see president-to-be Trump's statements about purchasing Canada and Greenland, and laying claim to the Panama Canal.There was also the withering attack on Britain – including direct accusations against their Prime Minister Keir Starmer – over the horrific gang-rapes of young girls there for decades. Presidential Buddy #1 Elon Musk used X (Twitter) to exhume this story of 250,000 girls (according to Musk) being turned into sex-slaves. It had been swept under the carpet.My first reaction to these – how shall I put in politely – “imperial” assertions was that Trump is being himself, mercurial, and that he was merely making flippant comments with no intention of following through. But on thinking about it, there is a certain logic to it, as outrageous as it might appear.On the one hand, there is precedent: the US did buy Alaska from Russia, and Louisiana from France. There is also precedent for invasions: it invaded Mexico and annexed, if I remember correctly, California, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and bits of several other states. Furthermore, the province of Panama itself was separated from Columbia by the US in 1903.On the other hand, there are fairly good reasons for all this. I have been of the opinion that the recent H1-B narrative was astroturfed by the British Deep State (“Whitehall”); the Musk counter-narrative on rape affects both Whitehall and its Parliament (“Westminster”) as Starmer appeared unnerved in debate with his opposition; who knows if it might lead to his downfall.Apart from any personal reasons Musk may have (he himself went through the H-1B system and may be sensitive about it), it is yet another indication that the alleged ‘Special Relationship' between the US and the UK may now be mostly a pious myth. Trump, rightly, focused on the Quad, and it was Biden, an Atlanticist, who cooked up the AUKUS submarine alliance, which seems to have achieved very little so far, although The Economist magazine talks it up.Britain, to nobody's surprise after Brexit, is spiralling down into irrelevance.Besides, the UK Labour Party allegedly indulged in election interference, with 100+ ‘volunteers' sent to swing states during the US Presidential election campaign to support Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate. This, one could argue, is casus belli.Trump has also in the past made noises about Europeans not bearing their fair share of the cost of the NATO military alliance: he prodded them to increase their spending to 2% of respective GDP, and now may want more. He does not seem to think it's America's duty to spend blood and treasure protecting wealthy Europeans from the alleged Russian threat.But the Canada/Greenland offer is not so much about Europe as it is about China. It is about the fabled Northwest Passage, the alternative polar route for trade, which becomes viable as a result of global warming. This can become a new seaborne trade route between the Atlantic and the Pacific, much of which is now through the Panama Canal.In an engaging conversation on pgurus.com, retired General and geo-strategist Rajiv Narayanan laid out the case for fending off the Chinese. He said they have been talking up the ‘Arctic Silk Route', which alarmed the Russians, who immediately upgraded the military capability of some of their Arctic Ocean outposts.China does have a problem. They are concerned about their dependence on the Straits of Malacca, which India (and possibly other Quad members) could blockade. They have been talking to the Thais about a canal through the Isthmus of Kra, and it is possible they may have grand plans of getting access to Chittagong (after surgically removing India's control of the Northeast by invading through the Chicken's Neck).The Chinese are also active in the Panama Canal. A Hong Kong firm now runs two major ports, Balboa and Cristobal, at either end of the canal. Chinese firms also run the Panama-Colon container port under the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative). They also have a railway project that is a direct competitor to the Panama Canal, the 3000 kilometer Bi-Oceanic Corridor, from Brazil's port of Santos to Peru's port of Ilo, connecting the Pacific to the Atlantic.Thus, it is not purely idle talk on the part of Trump to pinpoint Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal. There is method to this apparent madness. There are also immense mineral resources in both Canada and Greenland, which will become accessible as the tundra thaws.Canadians may well accept such an offer from the US, considering the mess their politicians, especially Trudeau, have made. The Canadian dollar is now at 0.69 US dollars, down from a peak of 1.06 US dollars in 2011. In addition, the Trump threat of 25% tariffs on Canada, if put in place, could squeeze that nation's exports.As for Greenland, its sparse population of only about 57,000 people may not feel particularly Danish, since they were actually colonized by the Danes around 1721. They may well be willing to join the US. Incidentally, we are all used to thinking Greenland is a gigantic landmass, but that is an illusion from the Mercator Projection. In reality, it is about 2/3rds the size of India, and about the same as Saudi Arabia.Be that as it may, what is most relevant to India in these musings by Trump is whether it gives any clues as to how he may affect India's interests. If he is intensely focused on China, then that is good for India. If he wants to cut Europe down to size, and to exit the disastrous Ukraine war, India would benefit. If he can end the Gaza war, great.Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, visited India recently. It is likely that the intent was to bully India into unilateral concessions before Trump takes over. I saw a new AI roadmap on Twitter that shows a) allies with whom the US will share technology (basically the Anglosphere + Japan + some of Western Europe), b) friends with which it will be arms-length (most of the world, including India), and then c) foes that will be sanctioned (eg. China).Then there is the Damocles Sword of tariffs hanging over India (Trump claims India has the highest tariffs in the world and he threatens to retaliate in kind), and these will hurt.At the moment, trying to divine Trump's foreign policy is a tall order. We have to read the tea leaves or chicken entrails, or extrapolate from whatever crumbs of information we get. This is going to be a wild ride.The AI-generated podcast on this essay courtesy NotebookLM from Google:1100 words, 11 Jan 2025 This is a public episode.

Truman argues that because IVF involves discarding fertilized eggs, it commodifies human life. The panelists criticize his stance, highlighting his attempt to equate embryos with fully developed humans as misleading and morally manipulative. They also accuse Truman of using emotional appeals to push his agenda, specifically to control women's reproductive choices, while dismissing the genuine struggles of couples facing infertility. The discussion touches on ethical concerns surrounding reproductive technologies and the hypocrisy in arguments about commodification, particularly when applied to adoption, which also involves significant financial transactions. The panelists emphasize the need for a more empathetic and scientific approach to these issues, separate from religious and ideological constraints.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.48.4 featuring Infidel 64, Stephen Harder, AJ and Scott DickieBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

It Completely Changed My Understanding of Jan. 6.Slate Magazine by Molly Olmstead on September 25, 2024https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/09/donald-trump-2024-president-election-shooting-christians.htmlIn the first story, a pastor named Robert Henderson claims that a man he knew got sick after voting Democrat. Henderson suggests that the sickness was caused by the man's political choice, implying that changing political affiliations could lead to healing. He promotes the idea that spiritual well-being is directly tied to partisan politics. According to Henderson, this man was cured after switching political sides, making the case that voting Republican could be a remedy for illness.In the second story, another pastor argues that people fulfilling God's divine assignments are protected from death. This pastor uses spiritual rhetoric to blend religious faith with political motives, creating fear among his congregation. By connecting political choices with spiritual consequences, these pastors pressure their followers to conform to a specific political ideology, framing alternative views as morally or spiritually wrong.The conversation explores how religious leaders like these use fear and anecdotal stories to manipulate their congregations. Congregants are often scared into silence, afraid of being ostracized or labeled as evil for holding different political beliefs. This tactic of dehumanizing others by associating them with demonic forces not only justifies harmful actions but also deepens divisions in society.Ultimately, the discussion points out the dangers of such narratives. When religious leaders weaponize spiritual beliefs for political gain, they contribute to societal harm, violence, and division. These manipulative tactics can lead followers down a path of intolerance and misunderstanding, with long-term negative consequences for both individuals and communities.

Pastor John MacArthur says there is no such thing as mental illness, calls PTSD ‘grief'The Christian Post, By Leonardo Blair, on May 01, 2024https://www.christianpost.com/news/john-macarthur-says-there-is-no-such-thing-as-mental-illness.htmlIn this segment, the speakers delve into a controversial statement made by John MacArthur regarding mental illness, pharmaceuticals, and parenting. MacArthur claims mental illness is a "noble lie" and suggests that medicating children for mental health conditions can lead to drug addiction and criminal behavior. He also blames Big Pharma for fabricating diagnoses to sell medication. This discussion leads to reflections on the intersection of religion, mental health, and societal attitudes.Phoebe introduces the topic, noting MacArthur's assertion and the broader implications of his statements. Eli expresses incredulity at MacArthur's views, highlighting the harmful impact such rhetoric can have on those in need of mental health support. Scott provides context by comparing MacArthur's stance with that of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has spoken openly about his own mental health struggles.The conversation shifts to the prevalence of similar beliefs within certain religious communities, with Eli citing statistics and historical examples. Damien adds his perspective, emphasizing the need for critical thinking and the danger of religious dogma supplanting evidence-based approaches to mental health.The speakers discuss the harmful consequences of stigmatizing mental illness within religious communities, such as discouraging individuals from seeking help and perpetuating harmful stereotypes. They also critique MacArthur's assertion that proper parenting can prevent mental illness, pointing out the lack of evidence and the potential harm in neglecting legitimate medical treatment.Scott humorously highlights the irony of MacArthur's condemnation of medication while advocating for prayer as a solution. Eli shares personal anecdotes and cultural references to illustrate the broader societal impact of such attitudes.The conversation concludes with a call for critical thinking and compassion in addressing mental health issues, rejecting harmful rhetoric and promoting evidence-based approaches to support those in need.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.20.4 featuring Phoebe Rose, Eli Slack, Scott Dickie and Damien HBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.
