What's going on guys, it's your boy DPJ here today with another Destiny video and today I want to talk about something which is really interesting to say the least. Now yesterday I covered a video talking about all the new artefacts and the ability they add to your Guardian once the Rise of Iron arrives.  If you missed a video I made on them you'll find it linked in the video description box below. Today I want to talk about a feature one of these artefacts has which wasn't a part of the game informer article where the info on these artefacts originally came. The artefact which I want to talk about is called the Memory of Radigas. Now it's ability once equipped allows sword users to deflect basically all incoming fire from all the blasts to rockets in a crucible. So how crazy would it sound if you could also deflect supers such as Hamish from by a fiery titan looking to make you burn? Imagine being able to deflect his hammer back right at him. Imagine a nova bomb coming across map heading towards your heavy ammo crate and being able to deflect that nova bomb back. Imagine being able to deflect a hunter's golden gun or night stalker. How crazy would that be? Do you like that idea? Well let me tell you it isn't just an idea. Yesterday a bungee game director by the name of CG Barrett tweeted at this scene on screen now. Memory of Radigas will also deflect supers such as nova bomb, hammer of soul and shadow shot. That is just insane. Now the way this will work is basically if you have a sword equipped in that heavy ammo slot I'm guessing it will have to be an exotic as well but maybe not. Using the left trigger which at the moment shields you from oncoming bullets is this which I'm guessing will be used to deflect bullets and supers meaning you will need heavy ammo to make this work.   But anyway guys do you like the idea of your super being deflected right back at you in fact will it even damage you once it's deflected back at you? If you both have swords can you play ping pong with a hammer who knows but what do you think about these new artifacts let me know down below in that comments section. If you guys enjoyed the video do drop a like or don't appreciate the support thanks as always for stopping by and I'll catch you on that next one.


So what is a fellow, what is a cardiology fellow? Let's break those down. Now a fellow physician is not just a friendly doctor.  Now as a cardiology fellow, exactly what do I do? What is my role? And really my role splits into two different things. One, I need to use these next three years to educate myself and train myself through repetition of taking care of these patients to become an adequate cardiologist that can work independently. But the other role is being a licensed clinical physician. I can prescribe medications. I can see patients on my own. I can see them in clinic. It's over the next three years. Every month I'm on a different rotation. So hopefully you guys enjoy that breakdown.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here this is gonna be reviewed for the first horror film of 2019 escape room it's kind of a little bit of a thriller as well I think it's more I would say this is more of a thriller and then a horror but it's in it it's in both genres it can fall under both genres similar to Jordan Pills get out this is basically a PG-13 saw and it's also kind of have it has it's basically saw without jigsaw and then you also have the fact that this is playing off a final destination a bit that doesn't come into play until the end and that's kind of what the downfall of the movie is the movie stars Deborah and wool who I think is from daredevil we have Taylor Russell she was in a Netflix original if I'm not mistaken we have Tyler LeBin Logan Miller Adam Robattel Nick Nick don't any and J. Ellis those are our like central characters that we focus on these are like what happens in this film as they get invited to this to this room this company I'm not really recalling what the company's name is right now at the top of my head but they get it they all get invitations from a company that want them to participate in one of their escape rooms this escape room however is actually killing people and it's gonna it's now it's not gonna attempt to kill them but see so the situation that we come to find in the film is that and I'm gonna try to avoid as much spoilers as I can but this is kind of highlighted in the trailer we come to find that all these people have some sort of background that has to do with trauma physical trauma that left them as the only as the only survivor and somehow the company behind these escape rooms now what they're doing is they have they have orchestrated this whole entire escape room for these specific people or multiple escape rooms for these specific people of that are designed after the things that nearly killed them so it's basically a test to see who is the ultimate survivor that's really what it comes down to as far as I what I personally thought about the movie I I enjoyed it for what it was I would say it's like it's kind of similar to how in cities the last key kicked off the year last year I think it was a nice start to the year for as far as like horror movies or movies in general is concerned it doesn't have there's not too many standout performances in it Taylor Russell she is the main protagonist she plays Zoe she's like a college student she's very to herself she's kind of an introvert she doesn't really go out as much as other people would like and kind of find out that's to do with something that happened to her in the past she was all over the news at some point for a tragedy that occurred that gets explored further when you if you actually go and see the movie in theaters you'll know what I'm talking about or if you've already seen it you know exactly what I'm talking about but anyway she is the protagonist what it feels as if she never really takes that next step to actually make you know she's a protagonist the film kind of just gives you enough so that you know she's a protagonist but she never really embodies what a protagonist be like she's not really taking the lead it's more so I guess that goes into what her character was about in along the way she does I think she has one of the strongest arcs by the end of the movie that's my honest opinions but she doesn't really feel like a protagonist throughout the movie she feels like just another side character who was miscast as a protagonist that's what it feels like everyone else around her is kind of like a kind of being idiots in the situation they don't want to they don't want to cooperate with each other with some of them do you have the nerdy kid who wants to cooperate his name is Danny he wants to cooperate and he wants to he thinks this is actually fun at first he thinks that the company behind is just playing with them trying to make it as real as possible he's kind of in denial because he's done like several escape rooms prior to this as a whole I would say that the movie is kind of forgettable I'm definitely going I plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD just to add to my collection because I did I did like it I enjoyed it for what it was but there's like it starts going just when it's about to get right it kind of takes a nosedive and I think that's kind of like what everybody is saying about the movie but it's actually true I know everyone else has stated that but it's now that I've seen the movie I see what they're talking about because the movie was doing just was doing so fine until it got to a certain point and then it's like it was climbing up to it's climbing up a ladder to go on the diving board then when it finally jumps off it completely fails and it just goes down further and further the acting gets worse the character choices become more stupid things get you find out things that you didn't really necessarily need to find out and it becomes more focused on setting up a sequel rather than finishing what they're already trying to tell here but there are some cool set designs and a director of this movie I think they do an amazing job at capturing those pieces and showing them from different perspectives as far as like the performances go as a whole I think the people involved in the movie did okay I don't think they were necessarily very believable in the roles they were given some of the act you can tell that is acting for something I just feel like it didn't come out so very genuine it felt it you can literally tell they were acting that's just how it came across to me I didn't feel that they actually wanted to be there just felt like they were looking for a quick paycheck but the kills some of the kills in the movie are forgettable because you don't really there's nothing really unique as far as like a kill goes what's you and then the movie goes there's several cliche routes that the movie takes towards the end it becomes very cliche you have a lot of stuff that's found out that you need didn't need to find out and then you have sort of like a final destination type ending which kind of feels like a rip off and it feels like the movie is not trying to be original whatsoever right now but for the most part escape room was very enjoyable film I think it was decent as far as I kicking off the year I do think it's forgettable in the end though and since the movie did manage to like actually have two thirds of the movie be entertaining and tell something that's very interesting to watch on screen I'm gonna go ahead and give it six out of ten the pacing was fine it's just a fact that after after a certain point it's as if the movie just went downhill and was trying to rush to get off the screen or rushing to actually rather set up a sequel then finish what was already being told those are my thoughts on escape room if you have seen the movie let me know what you guys thought about it down in the comment section below if you haven't already subscribed return on post notifications so you'll get notified when I post new videos in the description I have links on my social media accounts I'm a Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there to let me know what movies or news your life is covering the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Let's examine the paths air parcels will follow on this idealized weather map based on the combination of forces acting on the parcels. We have a map of sea level pressure here with an area of low pressure marked and an area of high pressure marked. For our first case, we'll pretend that only the pressure gradient force is acting on air parcels, which are marked by these purple boxes. If only the pressure gradient force acts, air parcels cross isobars perpendicularly, flowing from higher pressure toward lower pressure like this. Now, let's add in the Coriolis force. If only the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force act on air parcels, they're in a state of geostrophic balance and the Coriolis force turns the air parcels 90 degrees to the right of the original direction of motion in the northern hemisphere. So air parcels and geostrophic balance flow parallel to local isobars, with lower pressure on the left of the direction of motion. You can also see the general counterclockwise flow around the low pressure and the clockwise flow that results around highs. Now, let's add friction for the most realistic look at how air really flows near Earth's surface. Friction disrupts geostrophic balance by slowing down the air parcels, which weakens the Coriolis force slightly. Eventually, a balance develops between the pressure gradient force, the Coriolis force, and friction, with air parcels now crossing local isobars in toward lower pressure as they flow counterclockwise around lows and clockwise around highs.


All right, guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Interesting video today, guys. We're going to react to Brian Holtzworth, who's a Catholic thinker, apologist, writer, and speaker with his video, Why I'm Not a Muslim. To me, personally, this is a very strange phenomena. A Catholic making a video about why he is not a Muslim. I am a Muslim. I'm a Muslim revert. I'm not making videos about why I'm not a Hindu. Why I'm not a Buddhist. It is quite interesting to observe how obsessed Christians become with Islam. And that is because Islam is the fastest growing religion in this world today.  If you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so. And with no further ado, let's have a look. Ah, the casual. As with all of my other claims about why I don't subscribe to a particular worldview or a particular creed, in this case, Islam. The point for me is to explain why I'm unconvinced by certain claims rather than to provide a scholarly assessment of those claims.  What are you talking about? Don't leave open to correction and refutation of my arguments. I like to treat these opportunities the way I would if I was having a conversation with someone, rather than some kind of indifferent denunciation of something that I disagree with. I also think it's really important to make a distinction between a creed and an adherent of a creed or a belief and a believer. In criticizing Islam, I'm criticizing a creed and not people.  Well, a creed is a race in the same way that people can criticize Christianity. In fact, I welcome criticism of Christianity because it invites the opportunity to explore and to discuss the things that I believe to be true. I'm so confident in my beliefs that I think that they will actually stand up to that kind of scrutiny, which is why I welcome it. So with all of that said, my immediate abbreviation. All right, please defend the Trinity. I'm not a Muslim is because I'm a Christian and I think as any Muslim would agree, the two are incompatible. And also, I think it's important for me to say that I'm not a Christian because I was raised as a Christian, but because I converted to the Catholic Church in my young adult years. And that conversion followed a pattern, something like that. I have to assume that you were raised a Christian and then you chose the domination Catholicism. Yes, I would learn a little bit about Christianity. And then I would respond with, okay, that's interesting. I'd like to learn more. And so I would. And at every interval of that process, I found satisfaction for my inquiry till you fast forward several years later, and I'm still learning and still growing in satisfaction with everything that I learned. Conversely with Islam, I can't say that I have a studied or a comprehensive knowledge and certainly not a firsthand knowledge of the religion because every time I've had some exposure to it, it didn't compel me to respond to it the way that I did with Christianity. Instead of saying, that's interesting. I want to learn more. I had something of an opposite reaction to it. Okay, fantastic. So at face value, he perceived something in Islam as lesser attractive for him personally than Catholicism. However, he's admitting that he hasn't done any further research nor scholarly research into Islam just because of the fact that he found it less interesting. And now he's making a video why he's not a Muslim. How does that make any sense to you? Wow. Amazing. So let me explain why I don't find the claims of Islam compelling enough for me to want to immerse myself in it more, let alone practice it. It's helpful for me to contrast it with Christianity in my explanation. And there are three areas I would want to focus that attention on. They're on the founder of each tradition. So that would be Jesus and Muhammad on the rival conceptions of God. They're both monotheistic religions, but Christianity describes God as a trinity. And on the Quran versus the Bible, the two competing scriptures. So let's start with the, okay, let's interrupt you right then and there because if you would have searched further, if you would have dug deeper into Islam, you would see and recognize that Prophet Muhammad may peace be upon him is not the founder of Islam. Islam simply means submission to God. This is the innate natural predisposition that we find in every human being. And so therefore we say that Adam the first created man was the first prophet as well and moreover was the first Muslim, the first believer, the first one to submit his will to God. This is what Islam means. And therefore we do not have the claim that Islam originated with Muhammad. If you dive further into it, you would find it yourself because as you said Christianity was created by Jesus. Allegedly, if you dive deeper, you can see it was created by Paul but nevertheless Christianity is based upon Christ and this how you call that religion. Or if you look into Buddhism, it is founded by Buddha. Not really yet again, it has been modified by people later on. However, it is based upon Buddha's teaching. However, Islam is not called Mohammedanism. It is called Islam, the submission to God. This is the red thread that you can find only within Islam. Controlled founding figures of each faith tradition in Islam. Muhammad is described as a prophet and in fact they go far as to say that he's the last prophet after which no more revelation is to take place. And in an attempt to evaluate that, I think it's probably worth trying to define what a prophet is and what we should expect from a prophet. And I don't think that my definition would be particularly unique. I would say that a prophet is a messenger from God who reveals something important about God and points us beyond this life to our fulfillment in another. And the reason that I say that they point us to something beyond is because the mere fact that we have prophets and apparently need prophets tells us that we are estranged from God. And if we weren't, he wouldn't need to send messengers in our midst as a kind of espionage towards our rebellious condition. If we weren't estranged from God, he would just communicate with us directly. So because of that definition and what we think of as the role of prophet in evaluating someone who claims to be a prophet, we should expect to encounter someone who directs our attention towards a different kind of life, one that is markedly distinct from the kind of life that we try to make for ourselves here and now without prophetic guidance. I think that this... Kind of. At the same time, of course, he has to direct you towards a good life here in this creation as well. This prophet should teach you how you have to conduct yourself in this life. Moreover, yet again, the Christian explanation of the prophet is pretty vague here. You talked about prophets pointing us towards an afterlife, coming with a message of God. What is that message of God?  Therefore, the message is never changing either. The message is always the same. It is the message of worship God alone, the first commandment. So to speak, you shall have no gods before me. And therefore, Prophet Muhammad may peace be upon him comes with that exact same message. However, he's the last one in that chain. For the very last time, the message of pure monotheism is revealed and it is preserved to this very day. Anybody can open up the Quran and read about worshiping one God alone. It should be readily apparent in both their teachings and the witness of their lives. There should be something about them that forsakes the trappings of this life and instead invests in the one beyond. And by the trappings of this life, I mean that a prophet should be indifferent towards things like money, power, pleasure and sensuality. I don't need someone who isn't me to tell me I should pursue those things. Every corrupted instinct I have already tells me to go after those things and to set my heart upon them. I would expect a prophet to tell me to aim for something other than what my most base desires are already telling me. Okay, Prophet Muhammad did not do that. In Islam, we're consistently talking about the Akhira and that the dunya is nothing but delusion. Here's a beautiful quote from the Quran. The life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of deception. As so many Christian apologists before you seem to confuse here that Prophet Muhammad came with a complete message. Of course, the main focus is the afterlife. This dunya is short. Everybody knows that who is a Muslim. However, of course, Prophet Muhammad taught us as well how to conduct ourselves properly in this world. Case of Muhammad, at least by his example, we have someone who seemed to invest significant effort into acquiring wealth, honour, power and sensuality. He literally raised an army to himself. He fought battles and killed people. And he reaps the kinds of rewards that virtually every well-known warlord in history seeks for themselves. You haven't researched the subject whatsoever, but you feel competent on speaking about it.   This ignorance paired with arrogance. This is what is defining your mindset at the moment. If you would have looked into the story of Prophet Muhammad, you would have seen that he was persecuted first by the pagans in his city, in his birth town. Because he came with a message of pure monotheism in a world that was filled with paganism, idol worship. He was brave enough to stand up to his own people and preach monotheism. Through this mission, he united the Arab world under Islam. He seemed to conduct himself the way that a typical warlord would do. He executed prisoners of war who had surrendered. He took and sold slaves, including women and children. He took many wives for himself, including one that was so young that the hadith said that he still played with dolls. In her own words, in her own testimony in the hadith, it says that she was six when they married and nine when he comes. It's so funny yet again, they don't do any scholarly research. However, they all know the same hadiths. How come? He automated that marriage. Jesus Christ, by contrast, seems to forsake the things of this life in teaching and example. He tells us to avoid storing up treasures in this life, which will only decay and end up being confiscated in the end anyways. Instead, he says that we should store up treasure in heaven by doing God's will. The Bible depicts Jesus as... That's exactly the same teaching of Prophet Muhammad as well. We should accumulate good rewards for our afterlife. What are you talking about, man? Moreover, I love Jesus. May peace be upon him. He is the Messiah. He has an exalted position. However, to lead as an example for us, it becomes tricky with certain practical examples, such as he did not get married. Therefore, if we all wouldn't get married and would all do what Jesus did, then we wouldn't have any family whatsoever. Prophet Muhammad, on the other hand, shows a beautiful example in all kinds of life situations. And I know nowadays when people hear war, they start crying. But this is absolutely hypocritical. Does the US not have an army? Did the Roman Empire not have an army?  As men, we have to know how to defend ourselves. Someone who fasts, who deprives himself of the luxury... And Prophet Muhammad did not fast? What are you even talking about, man? We have Ramadan in which we truly fast. It's not like the Catholic fast or like the Orthodox fast. We truly fast. We do not drink. We do not eat the whole day. And Prophet Muhammad was known for fasting throughout the year, two days out of the week. Fasts? Who deprives himself of the luxuries of this world? Who prays all night long? Who performs miracles? Who identifies with the lowest members of society? And Prophet Muhammad was not praying all night long. What are you talking about?  We speak today of none other than Qiyamul-Layl, the night prayer. The Messenger, peace be upon him, said, Uphold the night prayer.  And it is a means of drawing closer to your Lord. And it is a means of erasing sins. And it is a means of guiding you from sins. La ilaha illallah. Who performs miracles? Who identifies with the lowest members of society? Who protects children? And who is indifferent? Wow, man. Amongst the first Muslims was Bilal, a slave that Prophet Muhammad freed. He was the first to pronounce the ad-dang. Allahu Akbar. The laudiest people followed Prophet Muhammad. Whereas Muhammad, by contrast, he does not perform miracles. He rules over the lowly. He apparently uses children instead of protects them. And he grasps that honor, wealth and power using all of his might to get those things. Which again is no different from hundreds of other powerful figures from history who have had those things in reach. And they all came with a message of worshiping one God alone. Friends, again, this is me asking that question to someone on the outside looking in. What should compel me to want to learn more about him? What makes him different? What makes him someone who points us beyond this life instead of all the things that my heart already desires in this life? In the case of Jesus.  Yet again, in Islam, drinking alcohol is prohibited. We people desire drinking alcohol. However, it is absolutely prohibited in Islam. It is not prohibited in Christianity. People love bacon. Mmm, yummy bacon. In Islam, pork is prohibited. Moreover, in Islam, ribba, interest is prohibited as well. If you look at our world, you see what truly destroys people and countries. It is the financial system. So the picture that you're painting of Islam as this indulgent religion where you can just follow your pleasures is absolutely ludicrous. In fact, this reminds me of another beautiful surah in the Quran which states Have you seen he who has taken as his God his own desire? So Islam directly warns us from those pitfalls. However, you're so focused on a man and this simply shows your own shortcomings. This shows your mindset as a Christian. You do not really worship God. You worship Jesus. Oh, Jesus was like this. Jesus was like that. Such a nice guy. You're not concentrating on the core teaching. Christianity teaches you that God is three in one. Islam teaches you that there is only one God worthy of worship. His teaching is unique and the kind of thing that I would expect from a true prophet. But I also find the claims about him to be very compelling, especially his resurrection as it is attested to by his followers. As I've argued in other videos, so I spent a lot of time on it here, the followers of Jesus either witnessed his resurrection from the dead or they lied about it. If they lied about it, But you do understand that the New Testament has not been written by the followers of Jesus Christ. Is this a newsflash for you? The followers of Jesus Christ, as you said, were lowly people. They were fishermen. Most of them couldn't even write, let alone in Greek. But the New Testament has been written in Greek by anonymous writers, people that we do not know.  Do you really believe that the followers of Jesus Christ were named Matthew, Luke, Mark? Those names are made up and therefore they're not eyewitness accounts. This test of that lie is the threat of severe punishment or even death if they hold to it. And in the case of the apostles of Jesus, all of them except for one were threatened with death if they did not recant their claims about him returning from the dead.  And yet that's exactly what they did when every single one of them was put to that test. Again, a prophet is someone who brings us some revelation about God, the afterlife or ultimate reality, these big questions. So through Prophet Muhammad, keep in mind the whole Quran has been revealed. If you look into the Bible, the Bible, you know it yourself, is a compilation of many different books and you see some revelations spread out through the book. However, the Quran came solely through Prophet Muhammad and now you want to tell me that there was no revelation coming from Prophet Muhammad. And who is supreme.  All knowing, all mighty. And holy other than us, he isn't a figment of our imagination. His being doesn't arise from us, but rather we arise from his creative act. So what I would expect from a prophet...  Off its message about God is something at least somewhat surprising because I'm not those things. I'm not perfect. I'm not all powerful. I'm not all knowing. So when I encounter one who is, it should be surprising being so distinct from me. And if someone comes to me with a message that sounds familiar and unsurprising, then my first instinct is to assume that the message that they are carrying isn't coming from another world, but from the one, the plain old obvious one I currently inhabit. And I don't need a prophet to tell me about that. But the message of Jesus is full of surprises even to a world that has been hearing that message for over 2,000 years now. But in a world in which those teachings were new, the world that he lived in, they weren't just new. They were just new. They were shocking to many of the people that heard them. Before Jesus, nobody thought it was a noble thing to identify with the poor, the sick, the lame, and the orphaned. Those conditions were seen as evidence of divine disfavor and there's certainly nothing rational about blessing and helping those who can't return the favor. Jesus was the first to insist on this and the first to tie it back to the will of God. But yet again, this is not correct whatsoever. Most prophets lived a lowly life even prior to Jesus. Of course, you had a few kings here and there, but most prophets lived a very lowly life. Jesus was the first to insist on this and the first to tie it back to the will of God. Perhaps one of the most surprising things that Jesus in the Bible reveals to us about the nature of God is God as Trinity. And interestingly enough, there's... But Jesus did not reveal that whatsoever. I'm really wondering how people come to the conclusion that Jesus revealed this. The Church Fathers after Jesus, yes, they came to that conclusion. However, you do not see Jesus in the Bible speaking about the Trinity whatsoever. This seems to be a point that many Muslims, especially those commenting on my own videos, seem to grab onto as an obvious weakness in Christian theology. But I think the reverse is strongly, strongly implied here. A non-Trinitarian formulation of God is actually a weakness. People want to try to say the kinds of things that Islam does apparently say about God. For example, one of the names of God is Al-Wadud in Islam, which means all-loving. To say that God is all-loving means that this is something that you can always ascribe to him and that it doesn't require us to have been created for him to be described in this way. If it did, then you'd be conceding that God's love is contingent upon us existing and therefore we would be needed for God to be what he is. But how can someone who is all-loving, all-powerful and utterly self-sufficient require us to exist to be what he is? He does not. You're baiting a straw man. That is all-loving. And this raises a big difficulty in the Islamic conception of God. Because before God created us, how could you say that he was all-loving? Love after all means to will the good of another. To love means to focus your attention on someone who is not yourself. If God is the only one who existed from all... Alright, yada, yada, yada. We heard this argument a billion times before coming from Christian apologists yet again. What he wants to tell you, what he wants to convince you of is that God needs a personality disorder. He needs to have three persons in one in order to generate an experience love. So if God is all-loving, how can he have any love if there is no subject to his love? Therefore, God needs a son in order to love the son eternally through the Holy Spirit. This is the beyond-ridiculous argument. However, as you heard me say, God needs in this equation the son in order to be all-loving. In the Islamic equation, God is only one. He is self-sufficient. Yes, he's all-loving. He transcends everything you can imagine. And therefore, he transcends the dichotomy of object-subject as well. Genius. Go figure. You as a human being, you're in a dual state. You're not a singularity. Therefore, you're in a constant state of need. You need things all the time. Oh, I talked a lot. Now I need a sip of water. When you're hungry, you need food. When you're cold, you need clothing. When you're alone, you need a hug, etc., etc., etc.  And you need an object as well that you can direct your limited love towards too. God, on the other hand, is the absolute transcendent creator of all things. He is self-sufficient. In his unity, he possesses the potential for all of those things. He does not need a mere object to express his love. This yet again, the Christian anthropomorphism. Jesus is God. And how could he love someone else from all eternity? The Christian understanding of God solves this by telling us that within him He doesn't need to love somebody else. Don't you understand this selfish idea of God comes from your ego? You're already in a separated state. You cannot wrap your limited mind that is bound to time and space towards God. And because you are this limited ego partition, you believe that God operates the same way. Or three distinct persons who are a perpetual exchange of love from all eternity while sharing in one divine nature. Thus, one divine nature or one God and three persons to fulfill the nature of God, which is love. So the nature of God is love and the expression of his persons is male. There couldn't have been a daughter, right? It has to be a father and a son together through the Holy Spirit. To by himself from all eternity cannot be said to all loving unless there was an object of love from all eternity as well. And in the Christian tradition that is inherent in the divine nature. And since in the Islamic conception of God there isn't, we can't ascribe love as part of the divine nature in that system. Now, what about the two contrasting scriptures? He bunked just because God does not operate like a human being therefore Tauchid does not work. Christianity we have the Bible which is often thought of as a single book but in reality it's a library or a canon of books written over the course of some say over 1500 years by dozens of authors. And yet in spite of that vast separation of space and time, those same authors managed to somehow coordinate a coherent system of thought that finds its fulfillment in the life and teachings of Jesus. Some scholars estimate that Jesus fulfills over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament. To be totally honest it goes exactly against it because Jesus tells you to love your neighbor Jesus tells you to point to the other cheek if you're being hit and then if you look into Leviticus you see that if a man lies with another man they should surely be put to death. How do you reconcile those two? Some scholars estimate that Jesus fulfills over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament. As I argued in another video a conspiracy to coordinate an effort to develop a scripture like that drawn from multiple generations of people and multiple authors of that length of time that coheres in the life and teachings of Jesus. But it really does not... I mean that's impossible. But a book that is written by... Jesus displayed as this very pacifistic character and the God of the Old Testament is extremely vicious.  I would go so far to say they're mutually exclusive. One person over a short length of time claims to be the be-all-end-all of Revelation. Well that's much easier to ascribe to a conspiracy or to just a simple deception. But yet again you don't understand at all what this statement entails. The statement of the last prophet entails that Prophet Muhammad will be the last prophet that comes with a message of pure monotheism. And now look at all the religions. As you said yourself Christianity comes with a trinity. Hinduism, Buddhism, idol worship and what not.  Without saints, without icons there in the background, without anything added to it. We simply worship one God alone. This is the last time that this pure message has been revealed. Worshiping God without ascribing any partners to him. And it stood the test of time. Now 1400 years later we have not one true prophet coming with a pure message of monotheism. As a young convert the more it interested me but the Quran on the other hand at first glance it's written by one person. I mean it's the kind of thing that is just very easy to dismiss as something other than a true revelation. The Bible can also lay claim to being the origin of most. So a clear revelation coming through one man has been revealed to you. You can read it nowadays. And this somehow is confusing to you because it is together from multiple authors over thousands of years and then put together by church fathers canonized. This is a more reliable source to you. The Bible can also lay claim to being the origin of most of what we think of now as monotheism. And an ethical system that is inseparable from the ethical DNA of even the modern world. The Quran by contrast it doesn't introduce us to anything compelling that wasn't already in the Bible. If anything it just rolls things back to much of what had already been described in the New Testament some 2000 years before. Now some people will object and say that if we're going to be wary of Muhammad because he was a warlord because he did things like kill people and buy and sell slaves and indulge in sensuality and the trappings of wealth and power and everything else then we should also hold Moses and Joshua, Saul and David in suspicion as well. The distinction here first of all starting with the fact that Moses wasn't a warlord himself he didn't fight in battles, he was just a prophet but the other distinction... Why are you talking about he did not go to war against Pharaoh? Moses himself went to war against the Amalekites and moreover we have a story in the Bible where Moses kills an Egyptian man pure hypocrisy. Here's that revelation that is the way that God reveals himself to us is something that happens progressively just like any form of education reveals knowledge progressively and iteratively if you want to learn to let's say read or write or do math you start with the alphabet or just your basic sums that's the first lesson but you shouldn't be satisfied without first lesson because it's only a step to the fulfillment that an educated person should expect. What the Bible depicts is... Yet again humanizing God of course you're talking about something that is evolving something that is changing something that has to be built upon however God is eternal his message never changes this game is very very simple we are commanded to worship God alone. This is the Islamic theology. It is not complicated whatsoever. We're not waiting for a new commandment now we're not waiting for a change in God's pattern. Our last pattern is never changing and therefore to this very day we do the same thing that Abraham may peace be upon him did he worshiped God alone. Some people the simplicity is too much in Revelation starting with prophets like Moses that's an introductory revelation of God. If you left it at that you'd be like a kid who only knows the alphabet you have to move on to fully fleshed grammar. The last lesson in the curriculum of the revelation of God is Jesus. If Moses... Alright so Jesus can be the last messenger but Prophet Muhammad cannot to be the final and fullest revelation of God then I would be a little bit wary and skeptical of him too but he doesn't. He tells us that one day God will raise up a greater prophet than him. If all Muslims can do is say that Muhammad is no better than Moses then that gives me a reason to look elsewhere because according to... And that's what Muslims do yeah they just say Prophet Muhammad is a little bit better than Moses. Man what is wrong with you? In Islam Prophet Muhammad is the best example to mankind. From Muhammad's revelation is the final one. It's the last lesson in the curriculum. No it's not Prophet Muhammad's message it is a last message and it is the same message that has been revealed over and over again. Every single time a messenger appeared he said to his people all people worship one God alone stop worshiping idols stop bowing to rocks to sticks to bones to icons to idols stop it return to the pure monotheism and this is what Prophet Muhammad did as well for very last time. It's no more morally or spiritually rich than the first revelation of God some 2,000 years before Muhammad in the Old Testament in other words it's a primitive take on God which had been established and known Wow! It's a primitive take on God to say that God is one. You need to evolve just like the West is evolving becoming more technocratic and more liberal keep on evolving until God is not only one but three maybe we should further evolve this maybe you will be eight at some point. Something new that will lead us on not repeat what had already been said 2,000 years before they were born Help us Hey thanks for watching Alright guys and this is it for today's video absolutely draining way too long as it is.

A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty high old silver, the Lone Ranger. With his faithful Indian companion, Tuttle, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Returnless now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, from out of the past come the thundering who feeds the great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. It was two months after the Custer massacre and the Dakota Badlands swarmed with the hostile Sioux. In the heart of that dangerous region a recent cloudburst had left a pool of water standing in a narrow canyon. There the leading wagon and the supply train bound for Deadwood was mired to its hubs. As the bullfackers fumed and eight teams of oxen strained vainly to free the big Conestoga, Captain Anson Mills, commander of a small cavalry escort, watched from his horse. His face was grim when he spoke. Sergeant, this place is a death trap. Yes, sir. We're sure goners of the Sioux fighters there. Lighten your load. Unload them. Pass that order to the other wagons. Sergeant, have the detachment help those bullwackers. Yes, sir. Detachment, this one. How many get busy? Well, I joined the army to fight. That's great. You should have been with Custer. I'll hop to it. Sergeant, look up the canyon. The last man in the engine, sir, riding like fury. What's it mean? I don't know, sir. Who's in command here? I am, sir. Who are you? Why are you mad? Never mind that. They're Indians up the canyon. Indians? How many? At least 500. They may not know you're here, but they're headed this way. We can't outrun them. Our horses are spent. Let's block the canyon with wagons and make a stand, sir. Let's storm the wagons on foot or shoot you from the rim rock. Yes, the Sioux have learned how to fight the army. Oh, what's in those barrels? Oil. The jeans and lamps and the deadwood gold mines. Thousands of gallons of it and me with 12 men. Let it, Captain. We can stop the Sioux. How, Mr. How? Roll every barrel downhill to the water. Dump part of the oil into this pool. Dab the barrels on end to form a barricade. Then cut the oxen loose and set fire to the oil. Yes, I get it now. Prairie bread Indian ponies panic at the sight of fire. That oil will burn long enough to give us an hour's head start. Get those barrels up here, Sergeant. Yes, sir. All barrels to the front on the devil. Keep it up here. Look up on rim rock. Man on horse. Now I'm gone. Those were signal shots. The Indians know now that we're here. Maybe him's count for Sioux. Let him sit on horse like white man. More barrels up here. Come on, Taro. Now, where are you going? Back up the canyon to those big bowlers. They'll have to delay the Indians if they show up before the barricade is finished. But you're only two against 500. The Indians can't know our exact strength. A few shots from behind those rocks will make them cautious. If we pile the barrels up, you'll never get back over them. Leave an opening where there's only a single tear of barrels. Start the fires at the side. Even with a single tear, the flames will leap high. We'll start back as soon as we see a blaze. Then we'll have to take our chances. All right. Come on, Taro. What's up? You got perfect cover here, Taro. And maybe it's a good thing. We hear plenty horses and canyons. Here they come. Daddy's over. Well, you see them now. Them belong to Ogallala Sioux Tribe. Then they're crazy horses' braves. Empty soldiers. Now, Taro, now. That's top ones in front, but warriors behind push arms. See what the soldiers are doing. Then got barrels followed up. Now with them not heads out of sun. Now barrels get fired. Captain's stand on top. Him wave past. Him jump. Stay inside. Then come on. Our horses can hurt the low part of the barrier. One, two, three. With a blazing barricade ahead of them and a horde of hauling Sioux close behind, the Lone Ranger and Taro raced for their lives. One, two, three. From some of the bullet-punched barrels, jets of blazing fluid played into the pool. Flames licked out over the oil-coated water and black smoke rolled up in a choking cloud. At the sight of the fiery roadblock, the Indian ponies reared up, squealing. The warriors themselves stared in dismay at the spectacle of burning water. Then the masked man and Tato gathered their horses into the pool. Come on, big fella. The Lone Ranger's great white stallion gathered himself with a jump. All right up. A thawing leap, a flash of filled reuse. Then he and his rider were over. Then Tato put scout over the flaming hurdle. They were just in time. The instant later, the flames closed in behind them. A cheer burst from Captain Mills and his cavalrymen as the two men flowed up. Oh, sir. Oh, sir. Look at that fire now, sir. The arrows are blowing up. Flames are as far as the canyon goes. Well, Captain, you and your men are safe now.  They won't be able to pass that fire before you're out of reach. We owe you our lives. If there's anything... There isn't, sir. All Tato and I ask is a chance to be of service. Then you'd better return with us to Fort Laramie. I have to know General Sheridan needs someone to carry out a dangerous and delicate mission. Very well, sir. Let's get started. Detachment at the truck! All right! All right! Ho! Ho! General Philippe Sheridan heaved his bulky body from a chair and stood face to face with the Lone Ranger and Captain Mills. For a moment, he tugged at his moustache, studying the mask man. Then he pointed to an empty sabre sheath which lay on his desk. Sir, that scabbard belonged to General Custer. I want Custer's sabre recovered. In view of what Captain Mills has told me of your contact in the face of great odds, I think you're the one man in the West who stands any chance of getting back that sword. General Sheridan, just why do you want it back? It's a point of honor with the army. No general of the regular forces ever before lost his sword to the Indians. The Indians are worthy enemies, but I can see how sitting bull or some crafty medicine man could use it to play on tribal superstitions and get the Indians to fight again. Fortunately, sitting bull doesn't have it. Prisoners tell us that when the spoils of battle were divided, the sword fell to Crazy Horse, who's strictly a war chief. He can be found. Then you'll undertake the mission? Yes, I will, sir. I want to keep the Sioux war from spreading. Several weeks later, the Lone Ranger and Tonto rode into Slim Butte's Pass with a six-horse pack train. At the scene of the battle of the oil barrels, they had picked up the trail of the Ogallala Sioux, only to lose it as they pushed farther into the Black Hills, the Holy Land of the Dakota Indians. Tonto, who guided the pack animals, was saying... He must hurry. Yes. Horses act like them know this place. They were bred here. This is where the Moray Ranch ranges its stock. Oh. Now, how we get horses from army? I picked them out of the remount herd because they didn't bear the United States' brand. Captain Mills said it'd been commandeered from the Moray spread. Oh, me savvy.  Hold still, old fella. Hold still, old fella. Wait. I saw a lookout move on that beaut over there. Then bullets come plenty close. Return to fire. Look! That horse break loose. We get him. No, wait, Tonto, wait. Let him go. That horse knows the herd trails around here. It may lead to the hills by another route. We'll follow it. Hold still, old fella. Tonto! Thomas Moray paced the floor of his ranch house. A big-bodied man, he made a striking figure with his flaming beard, which he wore trimmed in the imperial style. He seemed to be paying no attention to his guest, Ben Wade, who had just arrived from Deadwood. Wade ventured a question. Say, Moray, what are you gripping those horse specimens for? I'm Major Moray, do you, sir? Don't forget I was a staff officer under General McClellan, Maximilian of Mexico, and Napoleon III, an expert swordsman. I'm gripping the oar to keep my hands in shape to use a saber.  I was schooled by Maternist Shulman as Sel Darman, Paris. Paris. I'm going back there when this western adventure is over. It won't be over soon. That's why I'm here. I've been instructed to tell you to keep the Sioux on the warpath for another six months or a year. That's a big order. The big men in the syndicate have fixed things in Washington, so we'll get a grant of a million acres of land around here. Wade, the Indians are too short of ammunition to continue fighting. That's worse. Crazy Horse is getting hard to handle. I thought he trusted you. He doesn't trust any white man. He knows we have some hidden purpose for helping his people, but he respects my knowledge of military science. That's my only hold on him. Well, the syndicate's sending a packet load of new winchesters and cartridges up the Missouri River. That's good news. Yeah. Where's Crazy Horse now? Quarter in a big cave where the horse herd used to go in winter. I moved them there last month. That was when we ran into that supply train. We were ready for about that arms shipment as soon as possible. You might take a notion to head for Canada who was sitting bull. We'll see him tonight. I hear someone outside. What's the matter, Sam? Major, the mask man and the minion just ready to come through the pass. The mask man.  Deep in the cavern where the Sioux had taken refuge, a council fire burned high. The great war chief Crazy Horse had the place of honor. He drew on an empty pipe as two moons rose and addressed him. Great sheet. The Sioux and Cheyennes are scattered.  Our stomachs and our guns are empty and there is nothing left to smoke in the council pipe, not even a shred of willow bark. We win battles, but the white men win the war. I have spoken. What two moons says is true but we will fight again. Our friend Redbeard has promised us more rifles and many bullets. He is a great warrior. Let us be patient. We're not, we're not, we're not. My people have found a pack horse. This pony comes into cave. It carries much tobacco. It is gift from Juan Tango, our father and the son. It is a trick, my brothers. I see nothing but a trader's horse and goods. Our people are all here. No one watches at the mouth of the cave. Hobo, hobo, go back. Look, great chief. Two men are coming with more pack cornage. One is an Indian. The other is a white man with a mask. They are trapped. Let us kill them. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Ranger and Tonto were trapped in a cave to which their quest for General Custer's sword had taken them. As hundreds of Sue Braves closed in, the masked man tried to speak, but his voice was drowned and yelled. And the great war chief, Crazy Horse, sprang from a council fire and confronted his people, arm-up-raised in the sign of peace. Hobo, get away. Great Chief Wicco, my Indian friend and I have come in peace. Let the white stranger say how he reached this cave and what he wants. We followed our Runaway pack horse. We are here to trade this chief has seen many traitors. None wore a mask. Great Chief, all trading with hostile Sue has been outlawed by the white man. Let the strangers dismount. Join us at council fire. Great Chief, your council pipe is empty. Here, let me fill it. This tobacco is good. There. Now let me light it. Do you have enough of it to fill the pipes of all your people many times? My people have little left to trade for it. We have been driven from our hunting grounds. But you have taken much loot from the pony soldiers. Another trader got watches, rings and paper money we took that little big horn. It is told that yellow hair had a sword mounted with silver and gold. This chief took two long knives that day. One belonged to yellow hair. The other was his brothers. Let me see them. We will bring them. The great chief is obeyed. Here is the squaw with long knives. Take the white man. The names of General Custer and Captain Tom Custer are engraved on the blades. Great Chief, they are worth everything I brought you. Manita, you have traded much for little. Great Chief, who are these men? Major, one of them is masked. The masked man again. I didn't know that we had met before. Great Chief, these men are spies for the army. Tell your warriors to seize them. They cannot escape. How do you know that they are spies? They were with the soldiers in the canyon. They jumped their horses over the burning barricade. This chief was there. He did not see a masked man. You were in the canyon and his back was turned to you. If I was on the ledge, you could look down and see his face. How did he manage to find this cave? He said he followed a runaway pack phony. This chief believes him. I believe that too. Those pack horses are some that the men of the Second Cavalry commandeered when they passed through my range right after Little Bighorn. I recognize that blue ron. My friend Redbeard could be mistaken about a horse. Great Chief, we are not spies. If we were, we wouldn't have come into this cave. We knew you were here and could have gone away without being seen. Then the soldiers could have taken you by surprise. That is so. They wanted to see how many warriors were here and how well they were armed. This chief cannot decide the matter. I fold my arms and leave it for you white men to find out. That means a duel, I suppose. I have heard that white men use long knives to settle arguments. Let the stranger give Redbeard one of those I traded to him. Very well. There's a saber, Redbeard.  The life of the man who loses will belong to the man who wins. I, Tashunka, with Coe, have spoken. Hello. Look here, Major. You ought to give the chief the good news right now. No, Wade. He'll go over better with him after he sees what I can do with a saber. Here, tunnel. Take my gun. Now, Redbeard, get rid of yours. Don't worry, I won't need it. Here, Wade. All right, Major. Great chief, I lift my sword to you. And I lift mine. Now, watch me. As he spoke, the renegade swung his saber high above his head in a muscle-flexing movement. The singing blade cut a circle in the firelight and he rose on tiptoe as though pulled upward by the glittering gyrations. Still keeping the steel of whirl, he passed it around his body in between his legs, then brought it to the salute with a final flourish. The day was pressed forward, eyes gleaming with excitement, and even the stolid crazy horse appeared odd. But the lone ranger remained impassive, his own sword in a guard position. Moray gave him a wolfish grin. Well, fellow, what do you think of your chance of living? On guard, Redbeard. On guard it is. Blade crossed, the lone ranger and Moray swayed back and forth. The muscles of their backs, drippling as each strove to keep the other from disengaging. Still sneering at his adversary, the soldier of fortune called a crazy horse. Great chief. I'm about to cut this by the pieces. Sue fashion. Quiet. There's a thrust in tears. Now turn your blade. Oh, you do know swordsmanship. So much the matter. Suddenly Moray pivoted like a dancing master. His blade flicked out. The masked man sidestepped, but he was late. Too late. The point of the free-booter saver caught him high in the shoulder. Touché! I could kill you with a corn cutter. A scratch doesn't kill. Moray fainted and they're said another thrust at the masked man's heart, but it was caught and parried. Once you've changed, the renegade put into play every trick of the praying swordsman, but step by step the lone ranger forced him back. No, you don't. I'll get you yet. Not with the saber.  Smoke enveloped the duelists. Half the blind of the masked man failed to see a signal which Moray passed to his confederate, Ben Wade. I'm out of that smoke. I'll give you time. I'm coming. Now!  He tripped, lost his balance, fell forward on hands and knees. Moray sprang forward, his saber glittering above his head, his red beard, redder steel in the firelight. He poised himself for the death stroke. Here it comes, spy! Out of the crowd of Indians, a great white horse came rearing and thrashing. It was Silver, a silver who's rolling eyes and flaring nostrils, beckoning his deadly rage. The warriors gave way and panicked, and as the circle opened, a big stallion leaped and landed astride his fallen master. Moray fell back, his saber still upraised. Wade, Wade, grab that horse! Get it away! Not me, Major! I can't get at that spy! He's getting up! I am up. Good boy, Silver. Now back. Back, big fella. Watch him, Colo. If it hadn't been for that horse... On guard! Hard-clressed again, Moray dropped halfway to his knees. From that position, he aimed a terrible lunge at the lower part of the masked man's body. It was a foul thrust, known as the Coolish Jarnak. The lone ranger turning sideways, debated the steel. The point ran into one of his empty holsters, and for a moment the tough leather held it. His own sabre slid down the pre-booters' blade, meshing its point in the handguard. In vain, Moray tried to disengage. The sword flew upward, torn from his grip by a twist to the masked man's wrist. It fell at crazy horse's feet. Ah! Ah! Great Chief! Save me. He has distorted my throat. I promise to lose his life to the man who won. I do not break my word. Great Chief, think of what I have done and can do for you. Redbeard, I thought you were a great warrior, but I was mistaken. Hear me! In a few sleeps from now, a shipload of arms and ammunition will reach us. This Chief will not listen anymore. You speak with a crooked tongue. Why, you miserable red-skinned? Wait, wait! Here's your gun, Major. Come on. He won't use his sword. I don't need it. I've got that gun. Drop it or I'll break your arm.  Watch out, Chief! Oh! I'm shot! Major, you shot me! I've got the gun now. Stand still! Oh, I miss crazy horse and hit Wade. Well, he got me into this. Otto, look after Wade. You already look keema-santi. I'm dead. Great Chief, I'm going to take Redbeard away. He is yours. But this Chief does not understand why you do not kill him now.   You are my friend. Hereafter, my people will know you by the name man for whom the horse fights. It is good to be a friend of the great Chief. Now, let me show you a silver bullet for my gun belt. Look well at it. There must be good medicine in it.  This Chief sees and believes. Good. Otto, get the horses. Come on, Mori. So you know me.  You're going to Fort Laramie. That's better than being left a crazy horse now. If it hadn't been for those cursed sabers... Save them up by the ends of the blades and hand them to me. All right. This... This was General Custer's sword. Ranger returned to General Sheridan's headquarters. And the swords of the Custer brothers lay on the commander's desk. The masked man stood by silently while Captain Mills reported the latest developments in the Mori case. The Captain was saying... We've sent out a company of cavalry to raid Mori's ranch. He himself is in the guardhouse. He's made a confession stating that a gold mining syndicate financed his activities as a gun runner and troublemaker among the Sioux. We'll go into that later. And now, Masked Man, I'd like to know just where you found Crazy Horse and his band. You wouldn't find him there now, sir. He'd be on the move from now on. He's short of food and ammunition. I'm prepared to throw 5,000 men into the field against him. General Sheridan, there's no need to waste the lives of your soldiers or exterminate the Sioux. What do you mean? I'm confident, sir, Crazy Horse will surrender. If he is approached by a man, he can trust and fair terms are offered to him. There's the rub, sir. Crazy Horse isn't likely to trust anyone who has the authority to treat with him. I can help you in that, General Sheridan. Here, take this bullet. Hmm. A silver bullet. Anyone who shows it to Crazy Horse will be accepted as a friend. Indeed. Then we shall follow your advice. Now, let me present you with the reward which the officers of this department raise for the return of the sword. It's a considerable sum. I want you to turn it over to the families of the men who fell with Custer. All I ask, sir, is the privilege of restoring the saber to its scabbard. There they are, sir. I have them. There, General. The saber is back where it rested before Custer drew it at Little Big Horn. It should never be unceased again. What do you think, Captain Mills? I fully agree with him, sir. A masked man, I... Why, he's gone. So he is. Er, Captain, can you tell me who he is? The silver bullet identifies him, sir. He's the lone ranger. This is a copyrighted feature originated by George W. Trendle and directed by Charles D. Livingston. The part of the lone ranger is played by Brace Beemer.


Lieutenant Christopher Cruz. Okay, is that 1st, 2nd Lieutenant? 2nd Lieutenant, 2nd Lieutenant Christopher Cruz. How do you spell your name? C-H-R-I-S-T-O-P-H-E-R. And your last name? C-R-U-Z. Okay. H-H-C-2121. All right. Tell me the full name of it if you don't mind. H-H-C-2121 Infantry Battalion. Okay. All right. So I am a 2nd Lieutenant with our 5th section. We're forward observers. Pretty much a platoon leader here in training. So tonight, we are up on the observation point to conduct H-E and IR loom rounds, hopefully to illuminate our troops that are down at their six lanes and run in their missions as well. Hopefully we're integrating the Moroccans tonight and kind of working out with them and strategizing and integrating some of our strategies with theirs. I believe this is a great opportunity for the Army overall. It strengthens our relationships with overseas forces. I believe that this is a great way to build rapport and to build overall a sense of trust within nations. Roger, I just love being out here. I feel like it's a great time to go ahead and meet new people, meet new faces. It's a great time to have our younger soldiers who aren't as experienced and calling for fires to be able to do so, learning so much from our higher ups. We have our sergeant majors out here, Lieutenant Colonel. We're out here to also observe. It's a great time to kind of meet them and to just let them know what we're doing as well. Overall, I think we're getting great experience and learning a lot in the process.


I wanted to use this chance while I'm stuck here in traffic, and forgive me for the reflection thing, to talk about a really cool subject, which you may hear sometimes, and the subject is that when you have an opinion, like a strong opinion about something, you also want to have a very good knowledge of your opponent's opinion about the exact opposite opinion to yours. So for example, I'm very pro-conservatism, pro-capitalism, while, for example, I detest, I hate the post-modernist movement that basically says that since nothing has supposedly any value, that means that nothing has real value and everything is arbitrary, so all value is completely subjective and therefore all opinions are an attempt to get power over someone. So there's no facts, only opinions, and it sounds absurd, but many, many, many people believe it. So I have taken upon me to actually study post-modernism, and that starts with Marxism and the rational, logical, mostly illogical, but basically how a person gets to believe in that, because until you have a way of kind of viewing things, where you can see your opponent's position and actually see how it makes sense from his perspective, you're not really mature, you're not really logically wise at that point, and true wisdom actually comes when you are able to look at the other side's point of view and actually argue for them better than they argue for themselves. So once you're able to articulate your opponent's view better than they can articulate it themselves, that means that you have their attention, so now you can say, okay, so this is how you reach that conclusion, because this and this and this means that, and this is how you know it, and they're like, they actually completely understand, and now you can actually bridge the gap and teach people something new, because you can't just override people's beliefs by saying, you're wrong, I'm right, while you're completely coming from, again, from a completely different frame of mind or a different state of thinking. So one person might say that it's best to be a very nice person that never offends anyone, and that's their position, so their position is never offend me because it's not nice to offend people. While you might be very disagreeable and think it's actually very good sometimes to offend people, it's very good to make them feel bad sometimes because that's where growth comes from, or that's an important virtue because you can actually defend yourself because somebody who's too agreeable, he's so worried of offending others that he won't even stand up for himself. And unless you can bridge those two positions, unless you can actually fight for your opponent better than they can fight for themselves, you're not actually doing a debate, a real debate, it's mostly where you're actually trying to convince the other person. It's mostly you trying to demolish their position, but the ways you do it will be only sound good to people who are already supporting your position or already inclined to your position, so basically half the population most of the time won't get you because you're speaking a completely different language, you're not able to speak their language. And even on an even deeper implication, by you actually having the wisdom and the patience to look at the other side that you completely disagree with and actually dig deep enough until you find how it could actually happen that you would trust that position, meaning why that position could actually mean something for you, until the point where you actually did that type of investigation, you're not really the kind of person that represents truth, you're more like the person that represents their side in truth, and by being able to look at the other person's position, you're developing extremely deep roots in yourself. So a confidence in yourself to navigate through the world in the right manner. Now, there's always the fear that if you navigate too much in other people's opinions, maybe you'll get sucked up into them. And that's where the whole logical integrity and honesty comes in, where I talked about this in the previous video about the journey and taking the call, basically answering the call to adventure, that when you do such a thing, when you venture into the unknown, and instead of strengthening your position, you actually check out your opponent's position, when you do that, you're venturing into the unknown and it's dangerous. It's really, really dangerous because there's that fear and it's real that you might actually become one of them. So you actually stare into the abyss, as Nietzsche said, and you can become one of the monsters in the abyss if you stare long enough into it. That's where the strength comes from and that's where the solidity comes from. It's from going into those places where you, for a short time, completely adopt your opponent's position. So somebody you completely disagree with, you choose to look at things from their perspective for a while and now you can actually call yourself wise. So until that point you're intelligent because maybe you can debate really well, but you only become wise when you know both sides because the wise person is like a balance scale. He always looks at things from both sides and that's sort of hedging where you're able to see things from both perspectives rather than just yours. That hedging is actually the greatest courage that you can have because, again, it means that you're comfortable with being outside of the known and venturing into the unknown. So with the traffic congestion clearing up, I'll have to cut this video short. I hope you got a lot of good value from it and let me know if you still have any questions or anything you'd like me to further expand upon on this topic. So thanks for watching and until next time.
