Is It Time?

Posted on January 4, 2024 by ehurst

Posted on April 21, 2023 by ehurst

In blunt terms: Stop thinking and talking about how to stop the runaway freight train from crashing. It’s going to crash. Instead, think and talk about how to avoid getting hurt by it. The only reason you need to understand … Continue reading →

The Faith of Foreigners

Posted on April 4, 2023 by ehurst

A Couple of Things

Posted on June 30, 2021 by ehurst

Reminder 1: Radix Fidem is not a religion. It is a meta-religion; it is a religious approach to forming a religion. Religion is the collection of human responses to faith. Faith itself is the awakening of a faculty within the … Continue reading →
