Book I’m Reading
This book is similar to the one from last week. I’m reading these to learn how the various technologies we use daily connect together. The best way I’ve found to understand connections is to understand the origin(s) of the individual pieces. This book is also scratching my itch for general knowledge.
There is great value in continuous learning in a variety of areas, even if they seem disconnected. Over time, all of these learnings compound and produce connections most other people won’t ever see. These connections make you a unique individual, able to plug into any conversation about most topics and bring value to people you otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.
Podcast I’m Listening To
I listen to Mohler’s podcast The Briefing daily and Friday’s episode had a good question and answer related to protestant denominations.
I like the quote Mohler referenced: religious freedom + religious conviction = denominations.

Matthew 2:23 is one of my favorite passages to explore with students to show them the depth and riches of the Scriptures. 🧵

Exponentials are inherently unstable and prone to crashes; the US M2 money supply is a 7% compounding exponential for over 5 decades now. Cuts value in half each 10 years.
Power laws can be stable over many orders…
The best way to understand somewhere is firsthand. I went to Israel.
