Frequency of updates is slow recently as I am trying to write a paper for work which is taking most of my writing energy + I write things and then end up leaving them as drafts, as I discuss in this post :)

I have merged my drawing, updates, and wurmwords pages into one blog that will become the main focus of my website! I have also started on some calligraphy, which yall can read more about on the latest Wurmwords post

I find people that can learn languages for fun (especially constructed languages - which I was only aware of from Klingon) very interesting because my brain completely does not work like that!

I am definitely not the greatest language learner! I tried to learn Korean for many years, to no avail. I chose Latin and Greek in secondary partly in order to avoid doing French and German, and even then I was doing translation exercises mostly off of vibes. I learned to love the Classical world in the process, however, and that's usually how I approach language, as a window into a specific culture that interests me

That makes sense. I’d love to learn koine greek one day as it would be great to read the apostles in their own language

Koine Greek is a lovely language! You should definitely learn at least a little bit at some point. I learned all the main dialects back in secondary, and we did one unit of Koine, reading passages from Luke and Acts.

Your site goes so hard and it shows Now I just need to find your site button

They're located if you navigate to links.html > 88x31.html They're made entirely out of code and no images and can be a little janky depending on your layout, I found that sometimes adding a "display: inline-block" or "display: block"to the button's main div tag will help things out, and if it partially fixes it but is slightly lower than normal a "top: -10px" will adjust that as well.

Alternatively you can also just screenshot one of the buttons once you select them and use that image instead, it's unreasonable to expect folks to also follow my arbitrary design rules

Fr fr. Male lions sleep all day too. They're just like me. Except, I don't have a lioness. Takes too much effort to stoke genuine desire. Lucius would never understand. Some were born while others had to work.

Article XVII, the longest article, has given me much comfort when it comes to the doctrine of predestination. I therefore treat it as one that I should not try to meditate upon as it is, much like the Trinity, incomprehensible to our minds bound to space and time. I believe it was St. Ignatius who said "pray like it all depends on God, work like it all depends on you". This thought has been sufficient for me.

discreteideas 3 months ago

I'm not sure. I think the trinity is something we can and should meditate upon and the same with predestination - that doesn’t mean we will understand them because of-course the very idea of an infinite God is not indescribable with finite thought or words.

sorry: "is indescribable " not "is not indescribable"

duvarki 3 months ago

Perhaps meditate wasn't the right word to use. I meant that we shouldn't try to understand it fully, and that we should live accepting a reality we won't be able to comprehend. The article does indeed say that predestination should be a comfort to believers, but it can lead to all sorts of weird places if you were to try and dig deeper in a rational kind of way. I appreciate that Anglicanism leaves it at that.

discreteideas 3 months ago

Yes your probably right. Like I said in my post my thinking is basically vibes based "I think I have free will because I feel like I have free will" - I think this is a rational way to think, but to say much more I would need to study the corpus of Christian (and non Christian) writers who have thought about the topic a great deal.

I have significantly restructured and simplified my site. Discrete Ideas has been live for ~3 months and over that time my vision for what I want it to be has shifted and grown. I am hoping that now it will be easier to navigate for first time visitors as I have removed the bloated number of sub-pages.

I am excited to see what the future holds for your site! How has your vision changed recently? Is it in connection to your recent entry in your chronicles?

Hi duvarki, it's more that I am focusing on the Chronicles posts as a way to write essays. When I started I expected I would write whole essays in one go - but its really not very realistic given the time requirements

I see, that does make sense. Mine took a year and a bit to write, so a more short-form way of sharing thoughts makes sense and I find it quite tempting myself. I just don't have many opinions or thoughts that I feel can be sufficiently justified with just a few words. But your approach does sound appealing, to share ideas as they come in order to compile them into a coherent essay if need be.

Can't believe the CCP's Deepseek's touting out uncensored information. Asked it, "Well, Cleopatra should be a foreign power who has major sway over the USA. Any ideas?" The first name it spit out was ISRAEL. What our politicians deny the Chinese speak

I have kind of the same feelings as you, that not only am I unqualified, but I'm a catechumen myself. I often feel like its not appropriate for me to be a teacher and I have to carefully navigate that. I look at the content on my site as anecdotes about my experiences and how I got to this point, so that maybe other other people can find their way, but ultimately we have to point people to real teachers.

I think that’s a great way to think about it. And yeah I think it’s natural that people like you and I would want to share our thoughts and perspectives but my hope is that, ultimately, people go to an actual Church. Btw I quite liked your posts about the practicalities of actually going to Church from the perspective of a former Atheist - it can be daunting

Thanks. I wish I could say I had as much time to do page updates as I did when I started this. The time will come again, I'm sure. I'm glad you like the design. I sometimes feel like its rare for anything visually simple to be appreciated on neocities so it's nice to hear.

Hii! Love your site, your conlanging tools have been so incredibly useful! Many thanks for sharing them. The glossing one especially was a life saver for classics in secondary. Have you shared your own conlangs anywhere?

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! I have shared some bits of my conlangs elsewhere. Hopefully one day I'll have something worth presenting on this site.
