Won’t get too detailed so I don’t accidentally dox myself or something, but I’ve been considering my life up to this point, and I can’t help but feel I definitely might’ve wound up on the wrong side of history if divine intervention and my own intuition hadn’t gotten in the way.
I know people who work at Neuralink, Facebook, Google, IBM, etc. My college was pretty successful for job placement at big name companies
I’ve been in some of the “financial centers and think tanks” of the world as a student. I was presented with opportunities to engage with their work, especially toward the end of my undergraduate career. Most of these people made me uneasy; at the time, I couldn’t place my finger on why. But I always felt the urge to keep those places at arms distance.
As a gifted kid, I feel incredibly blessed to have gotten out of public school relatively unscathed. I feel incredibly lucky I didn’t join the status quo in college despite the pressure to conform.
This refusal to conform is definitely giving me some roadblocks now that I’m trying to get started in my career, but it does feel like I’ve dodged many bullets on the journey. And I’m glad I’m not part of the hive mind like most of my peers.
Anyone else have the same experience?
Edit to say: thanks to everyone who has commented! Really appreciate knowing others have similar journeys.
Ok, here we go again.
I wrote: TOTAL HOGWASH^ - what the hell are you talking about?
BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU SAID WAS WRONG. You obviously don't know that the bible was not only not " the manifesto and founding document for the birth of the Holy Roman Empire," you don't even know that the founding of the Holy Roman Empire was nearly five centuries later when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne the first Holy Roman Emperor in Rome in the year 800 AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperor
When you wrote: "The Jews weren't even monotheistic."
I replied with the proper quotation to illustrate your (childish) mistake with the quotation from Deuteronomy 6:4: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. https://www.ccalions.org/2019/09/30/deuteronomy-64-7/
If you are attempting to say that Israel turned from monotheism and worshiped Pagan gods?
YES, that is what got them slaughtered and driven out of the Holy Land.
That ^ was the promise God made to them if they turned to pagan gods. It actually UNDERSCORES that the God of the Bible and Israel IS ONE.
You further attempt to make Yahweh into a plural god by invoking the word "Elohim" as plural. If you will check with the Jewish Encyclopedia, you will see that the word "Elohim" is either plural or singular, depending on the context. Think of the word "American." If you are saying, "I am American," you are referring to a single person. If you say, "we" are American," you are referring to plural. It depends on the context. https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/#
Beyond this, you have too many childish mistakes for me to correct. and, yes, the things I wrote to you are not even disputed by any SERIOUS person, who has done the research, because YOU CAN HOLD THE PROOF IN YOUR HANDS. The key word there is SERIOUS. A serious person would not embarrass himself in public with such absurd assertions. If you continue to go to people who know as little as you, you will continue to fill your head with the same childish errors.
