GN for me - have a great day 🫡

Noted.

Welcome to #Nostr Fer. Sending love in return from 🇦🇺

Thanks Matt - lovely balanced take. Guy Swann also made a helpful podcast on the same issue… definitely appreciate a little antidote to the black pilling.

2010 - when a Norwegian friend of mine announced he was mining it on his laptop.

I think it’s the depth and detail contained in the historical aspect of the universe created. Tolkien’s LOTR books focus on a section of history that takes place after so much detail and context has already been built - over thousands of years. So the world feels more real and believable as a result.

My favourite translation of this is in The Message:

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Been deep in that place before. Appreciate you voicing it.

Thank you Mike. 🕊️
