This is a work in progress- but I had a uniquely different image of the crucifixion from the perspective of modern-day cancel culture. South Park did a great job illustrating the seemingly psychotic need for destruction lead by mobs of individuals towards a celebrity. In their take, it was a version of the alleged pagan human sacrifice for crop yield, but the architype of the bloodthirsty mob was expertly illustrated.  Raising someone up to idol status and then tearing them down seems to be a universal experience, not unique to our time. Cancel culture is just the modern version of it. The intensity and tactics may be new insofar as the mobs are digital, and the suffering is social reputation and potentially financial- but the seemingly demonic possession and crazed desire to inflict pain appears to not be new. This got me thinking of the crucifixion and a potential new take on it. What if the scape goats of the romans & jews being blamed for the events of that day aren't the f...

Another very nuanced, but majorly important blog topic that will take a series to properly outline is the difference between True & Valid (or Facts). I've had some eye-opening realizations watching human behavior as a result of operating social media accounts with sizable followings. Seeing in real-time somebody incorrectly conclude something, and then utilize that faulty conclusion as the foundation for a series of responses.  In mathematics, while outlining valid manipulations to equations to take steps towards potential solutions, entry-level algebra will teach you that you can divide a value to one entire side of an equation so long as you repeat that exact process to the other side. So, for example, if you are attempting to solve 2x = 4x you might decide to divide both sides by 'x' and resulting in something that doesn't make any sense 2=4 or a false statement. Your parameters you were given were valid, as were apparently your steps. Up until this moment this p...
