Oddbean new post about login | logout If money were no object, I would throw myself into... 1. teaching Reformed/Covenant Theology; and 2. teaching Austro-Libertarianism (a la the Mises Institute) your turn: #asknostr
This is such a good thought exercise. What would I do and how can I start doing it more now? I need to reflect on that more
Helps find your true passion, I think. 🤝
do what I do for free
Livin' the dream! kudos, pleb
I would continue doing just what I do, but with less stress. 😇 nostr:note15r4k0uy3w9z3mgj8ypjpleyg88vq6wykwvft98j5rhxyrsn38ajszech9t
For me it would be: 1) Teaching Ancient Greek 2) Learning / teaching source texts 3) Schools for kids dedicated to mastering the arts without the toxic ideology. 4) Rediscovering plant based medicines like found in Galen's texts nostr:nevent1qqs2p6m87zghz3ga5frjqeqlujyrnkqd8zt8xy4jne2pmnzpcfcn7egpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qak5kewf6anwkrt0qc8ua907ljkn7wm83e2ycyrpcumjvaf2upszsxpqqqqqqzyvc0jc
I would quit my job run my farmstead full time during the day and run a medieval style fantasy pub in the evening.
YES. I'd be a regular. 💪
I can help with #2. Here is a book summary from Mises' "Epistemological Problems of Economics". https://m.primal.net/KUPx.jpg
For me, it would be reading, learning and writing about whatever interests me at a given moment in life and interacting with other people who know more than me about that area of interest. I don't think I'm at an age where I have the patience or experience to teach people yet. Hope to get there one day.

Start a school.
Why reformed and not it all
"Reformed theology *is* Covenant Theology," as someone said. I mean the whole gamut--but from the Reformed perspective. Similarly, economics--but from the 'Austrian' perspective. In both cases, the alternatives are so different, they're basically incompatible. Does that make sense?
Not at all As mises said on human action, reviewing some narratives and cutting it with another vision would actually still be the first narrative, because the facts analyzed would be a part of already sliced part of reality itself. Presenting reformed theology in a luteran vision would cut essencial parts of its own narrative basis, the same has already occurred on the attempts of seeing Thomas Aquinas economy on austrian vision Luteran eyes fail when they try to analyze catholic scholastic historical stuff because the catholics only got in that historical stuff because of early church thoughts, that totally forbid christian gnosticism and hermetjc paganism. I mean, they excluded what the gnosticism saw as important facts, so how could luteranism search far points and their importance while deny what made this points the only thing that was relevant?
Well, you can't really teach Reformed theology if you divorce it completely from its roots and from its alternatives, of course. But in either discipline, there is no such thing as neutrality. Perhaps I'm not understanding your point...
If i didnt have to worry about money, id already be doing what im trying to do now.
I'd be building a studio and helping people with their musical aspirations. Also starting an entertainment PMA under a 508(c)(1)(a) and a Common Law Trust in cryptocurrency and other hard assets. Oh wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'd also go ahead and teach Free Software to everyone interested in it, so they can get started in using freedom tech in an easy to understand manner. It'd be hands-on, of course.

Reading, writing, and teaching, especially Biblical truths. My areas of passion are science that supports the Bible, the absolute sovereignty of God, and end times prophecy (new interest because it seems to be nearing). Where teaching is concerned, I have an especial passion for teaching teens and young adults, probably because they are old enough to understand deeper discussion, but young enough to still have most of their life ahead of them.
