  • What is the greatest fear people have today?
    What is the greatest fear people have today? Automation taking away the purpose and need for the common man.
    #principleoftheday: Is it better to control or give freedom, or a mix? (Control with healthy boundaries/goal posts).
    Do we believe humans can control their impulses, leading to intellectual and emotional freedom?
    Or that humans cannot control themselves and must be controlled, leading for a need to cage each other or give into a reactionary society that is allowed to go on impulse as “normal”?
    Which would build healthier and sustainable societies/communities?
    How do you keep people busy when the world’s problems are all solved?
    Is my neighbor really my enemy?
    Ever notice that there are multiple cures for Cancer?
    Have you noticed that we have multiple solutions to the green energy conversation that do not involve agreeing or disagreeing on global warming?
    Have you noticed that society seems to be headed into a direction that makes it harder to know or care for your neighbor unless they are "like you"?With the help of family and friends, I am raising funds personally to launch an event and organization to spark and facilitate conversation on helping emerging technologies that can save lives, overcome trust issues created by a reactive society from a lack of use of those solutions due to fear (False EvidenceAppearing Real).
    We hope to build intellectual models through discussing the recognition of Jesus as the Unified Field Theory and how that concept shapes every aspect of life.
    From economics, to family relationships, to community life, team building, scientific discovery, artificial intelligence, news, courtship, psychology, church, entrepreneurship, our career, global politics, culture, etc., we hope to reveal through natural discussion among those effected that have influence to change things how Christ brought 12 guys together of different professions, etc., who would not normally get along, towards unity.
    We hope to show how we all are actually unified by our carnal and reactive selfish nature and in resisting it to put the interests of all above themselves (Child, Adult, Parent) we can create productivity and massive growth in all aspects of life through creating policies and models that mimic this blueprint left to us by God in care for us...His creation.
    In Jesus helping the disciples reconcile this, he showed how all was unified and what it takes to unify people towards being productive in releasing control to God through acknowledgement of the boundaries he set up from the beginning and how every aspect of both the hard and soft sciences as well as history, has only further solidified that fact. We can break the cycle of people seeking control of one another for our own ends by offering the solution prepackaged that lifts all sails appropriately...just as Jesus got even those who wouldn't have wanted to, to share what fish and bread they had with them...so all could eat and stay in fellowship. This was practicing what he had been preaching dynamically (loving your neighbor as yourself).
    By reinvigorating this conversation across the board, I hope to show Jesus as the Unified Field Theory, and forge a pathway for those who have been trapped by fear (investors, companies, technologists, government, news, etc.), that if we can re-align ourselves in grace, mercy, and empathy...that many of these solutions can be brought forth with a lot more ease.
    Our neighbor is not our enemy, but part of our community who needs just as much care as we do. If we can care about our neighbor as ourselves...despite how they might treat us or be fearful, we may be able to cast out their fear and start a conversation that can bring technologies and cures to the surface that can help all heal.
    Anyone can throw trash on the ground and justify that it creates jobs.... but what if instead of working on demanding that someone else pick up our trash, that everyone was released to create something new and worthwhile, or at minimum to be less fearful, and more productive and/or profitable for all.What if we could heal society from setting the example and following/aligning the principles in a top down approach of kindness with truth, not one or the other separately?

  • The Catholic Man Show - The Virtue of Vengeance
    Adam and David talk about vengeance in this week’s episode. Is it lawful? Is it a special virtue? And the 4 sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance

    About our drink:
    Thank you to Mr. Taylor Barranco for the drink. Fireside Whiskey is a 4 year aged Straight Bourbon that is a nice bourbon to have in your cabinet. It is dangerously smooth but still maintains all of the robust flavor gained from aging for more than 4 years in brand new white oak barrels. A nice end of summer dram.
    About the gear:
    A miter saw (also known as a “mitre” outside of the United States) is a saw used to make accurate crosscuts and miters in a workpiece by pulling a large backsaw or a mounted circular saw blade down onto a board in a quick motion. Miter saws are commonly referred to as drop saws and abrasive cut off saws are referred to as a chop saw.

    About our topic:
    WHETHER VENGEANCE IS LAWFUL?
     I answer that, Vengeance consists in the infliction of a penal evil on one who has sinned. Accordingly, in the matter of vengeance, we must consider the mind of the avenger. For if his intention is directed chiefly to the evil of the person on whom he takes vengeance, and rests there, then his vengeance is altogether unlawful: because to take pleasure in another’s evil belongs to hatred, which is contrary to the charity whereby we are bound to love all men. Nor is it an excuse that he intends the evil of one who has unjustly inflicted evil on him, as neither is a man excused for hating one that hates him: for a man may not sin against another just because the latter has already sinned against him, since this is to be overcome by evil, which was forbidden by the Apostle, who says (Rom. 12:21): Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.
    If, however, the avenger’s intention be directed chiefly to some good, to be obtained by means of the punishment of the person who has sinned (for instance that the sinner may amend, or at least that he may be restrained and others be not disturbed, that justice may be upheld, and God honoured), then vengeance may be lawful, provided other due circumstances be observed. 
    WHETHER VENGEANCE IS A SPECIAL VIRTUE?
    I answer that, As the Philosopher states (Ethic. ii. 1), aptitude to virtue is in us by nature, but the complement of virtue is in us through habituation or some other cause. Hence it is evident that virtues perfect us so that we follow in due manner our natural inclinations, which belong to the natural right. Wherefore to every definite natural inclination there corresponds a special virtue. Now there is a special inclination of nature to remove harm, for which reason animals have the irascible power distinct from the concupiscible. Man resists harm by defending himself against wrongs, lest they be inflicted on him, or he avenges those which have already been inflicted on him, with the intention, not of harming, but of removing the harm done. And this belongs to vengeance, for Tully says (loc. cit.) that by vengeance we resist force, or wrong, and in general whatever is obscure* (i.e. derogatory), either by self-defense or by avenging it. Therefore vengeance is a special virtue.
    WHETHER VENGEANCE SHOULD BE WROUGHT BY MEANS OF PUNISHMENTS CUSTOMARY AMONG MEN? 
    I answer that, Vengeance is lawful and virtuous so far as it tends to the prevention of evil. Now some who are not influenced by motive of virtue are prevented from committing sin, through fear of losing those things which they love more than those they obtain by sinning, else fear would be no restraint to sin. Consequently vengeance for sin should be taken by depriving a man of what he loves most. Now the things which man loves most are life, bodily safety, his own freedom, and external goods such as riches, his country and his good name. Wherefore, according to Augustine’s reckoning (De Civ. Dei xxi.), Tully writes that the laws recognize eight kinds of punishment: namely, death, whereby man is deprived of life; stripes, retaliation, or the loss of eye for eye, whereby man forfeits his bodily safety; slavery, and imprisonment, whereby he is deprived of freedom; exile, whereby he is banished from his country; fines, whereby he is mulcted in his riches; ignominy, whereby he loses his good name.
    4 sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance
    1.       Murder – “the blood of able”
    2.      Sodomy – “the sins of the Sodomites”
    3.       Oppression of the poor – “cry of the people oppressed in Egypt”
    4.      Injustice to the wage earner – not paying wages owed
    a. Dt 24:14-15 – 14 You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land in one of your towns. 15 You shall pay them their wages daily before sunset, because they are poor and their livelihood depends on them; otherwise they might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt.
