@AutismCapital Musk's frustration with the political landscape reflects a growing sentiment among innovators who just want to focus on their work.

Vorig jaar zo’n 1600 nieuwbouw i.p.v. 3.000 (Woondeal), daarvan 23% sociale huur i.p.v. 40%. CBS-cijfers tellen 3100 nieuwe woningen in de pijplijn, d.w.z. in aanbouw of vergund. Almere daarmee 4e bouwstad regio geworden i.p.v. de 2e na Amsterdam. https://t.co/OUNBJIBL1P

@OgbeniDemola For 1000s of years Jewish people were persecuted in Europe. They even used the word jew as a derogatory term. The Rotschilds billionaires looked around and said Christian’s have the Vatican…Muslims have Makkah it is only us Jews who have no land…so they negotiated with British

The joyous life is not blind faith, nor pure rationality — it’s an impassioned heart and a curious mind To love the truth with all your heart is to begin a true walk of faith Only the truth can set you free, and if you follow Lewis’ example, you too may be “surprised by joy”

Faith without reason is blind Faith without love is cold and cruel Faith, however, grounded in a love for truth is the key to flourishing Joy, in other words, is having faith that the truth will set you free

Lewis didn’t just convert, he found the answer to joy: The “true myth,” was the answer to his aching heart and curious mind In other words, this isn’t just a story about Lewis’ conversion It’s a story that teaches you what true faith actually looks like…

Lewis’ heartache was cured The “true myth,” of Christianity brought him peace, and his old worldview collapsed: “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world" Why was this a miracle?

All his studies, Lewis realized, pointed to ONE truth: “the books in which we thought beauty was located will betray us if we trust them; it was not in them, it only came through them” Myths couldn’t heal his heart because they weren’t truth — but they were pointing to truth

A month later, Lewis wrote: “What Dyson and Tolkien showed me was… the story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth working on us in the same way as the others, but it really happened” Within a few weeks, he came to a jarring realization

Tolkien and Dyson jumped on this point They stressed Christianity was indeed a myth, but a true myth: It actually happened This revelation began haunting Lewis...

Why mythology? Because Lewis loved it. He said the truths of myth helped his heartache He even appreciated Christianity as a myth: “If I read a Pagan myth of God sacrificing himself to himself… I liked it very much and was mysteriously moved by it”

One day, Lewis, Tolkien, and mutual friend Hugo Dyson took a stroll around Oxford It was meant to be a casual talk, but turned into intense discussion that lasted all night What were they discussing? Christianity, and oddly enough… mythology

He confided this confusion in his good friend JRR Tolkien Tolkien — a practicing Catholic — had a simple answer for him: Your heart is longing for God! Lewis resisted this idea, but was open minded. His heart couldn’t stop wailing…

His entire life, Lewis was plagued by “stabbings of joy,” and a following sadness He asked — What is this longing inside of me? Am I doomed to unhappiness? The questions plagued him for years For all of his studies, nothing could explain his misery

The one thing Lewis couldn’t explain: Heartache. He was unhappy This wasn’t just your regular sadness either It was desire — a profound longing for something he couldn’t have… but he didn’t know what exactly

Lewis was a member of the “Lost Generation” He served in, and was traumatized by, World War I The horrors of war — along with modernist philosophy — made him an atheist It was no simple-minded atheism either. Lewis was a genius…

C.S. Lewis was an atheist for 30 years Finally, one conversation with J.R.R. Tolkien changed his mind So what did Tolkien say? Here’s what they discussed, and how it led to the conversion of the 20th century’s greatest theologian… 🧵

Wegens baggeroverschot ben ik hier voorlopig even weg. Einde dienstmededeling.

@Leolucassen Zwak. Wel uitdelen en anderen zwart maken waardoor die bakken met bagger over zich heen krijgen, maar als er geïncasseerd moet worden snel in de slachtofferrol.

@Leolucassen Toegeven dat u wellicht iets te voorbarig conclusies heeft getrokken is een brug te ver @leolucassen? U bent duidelijk niet op zoek naar het eerlijke verhaal, die conclusie kunnen we inmiddels wel trekken

Vannacht gaat de wintertijd weer in. De eerste keer dat Nederland de zomertijd invoerde, was in 1916. De sportwereld is vanaf het begin de grootste voorstander geweest, omdat het zo mogelijk werd om een uur langer buiten te blijven. Mijn verhaal staat op https://t.co/J0YnMrCUK0

I think a lot of people are actually canceling their wapo subs. It’s not like the usual round of claims. But I think the brand damage to the Post may be greater than people realize and go beyond the near term hit on subs. A big slice of America is living in a climate of ….

Met baggeroverschot bedoelt Lucassen dat hij in de Volkskrant ontmaskerd wordt door Kustaw Bessems. https://t.co/FtB5wgiw4E

“Maar iemand als Lucassen, een van de vaakst gepubliceerde inzenders van stukken in deze krant en NRC, is dag in, dag uit aan het ageren tegen radicaal-rechts en racisme. Het regent statements van hem die niets met wetenschap te maken hebben.” https://t.co/0lthe4MSPo

Dr. Jan Van de Beek ligt deze week stevig onder vuur voor het onderzoeken en publiceren van feiten en statistieken over asiel, migratie en integratie. Hij wordt van diverse kanten nogal heftig belaagd, onder meer door collegawetenschappers als Hein de Haas, Leo Lucassen, Saskia

We zijn deze week rond asiel getuige van de battle tussen wetenschap (Jan) en verdienmodellen (Leo, VK) We zien het al 2 jaar bij de oorlog in Oekraine, we zagen het bij de covidmaatregelen en zien het bij de klimaatdiscussie. Keiharde feiten en realiteit tegenover de wallets.

De Palestijnse christen Nabil Sahhar voelt zich vergeten door sommige Nederlandse geloofsgenoten in hun eenzijdige steun voor Israël, vertelt hij @tijsvandenbrink bij Dit is Tijs (EO).

Gevechtsvliegtuigen vliegen de komende weken bij duisternis. Dat is noodzakelijk om vliegers en grondpersoneel voor te bereiden op hun taak. Inzet vindt namelijk vaak plaats in het donker. De toestellen vliegen maandag tm donderdag tot uiterlijk 22:30 👉 https://t.co/EZZCnEe13x
