Work ethic. So let's take that into account the next time you are tempted to say, it's not my fault that I'm in this situation. Everything sucks and it's everybody else's fault. And it no, yeah, things are bad, but there's always been corrupt people and things have been bad. So that's not an excuse for sloth, and it's not an excuse to try to circumvent righteous ways of operating. 70 reasons, $5. I'm looking to start my journey into orthodoxy. I was Baptist, raised Baptist. Hellfire, Brimstone saw a lot of hypocrisy, and it turned me off of religion. 35 years later. Your debates and your content are opening my eyes. Thank you. Well, I'm glad to hear that. And, yeah, I don't blame you. I think a lot of people kind of, especially if you grew up in the, you know, fundamentalist type stuff, as I did, you kind of have a phase where you're like, nah, this is stupid. And then usually you kind of, you know, gradually make your way back to more sensible, historic versions of the religion. Tara, Michael, $2. Do you experience cognitive dissonance? I'm sure everybody does. Right? Because ultimately we're all fallen, and so we all don't want to be wrong. Right? Everybody wants to be right. Nobody wants to be wrong. So I'm sure that there are things that I. I don't know about that I haven't even noticed that I have cognitive dissonance about, but I would. I would imagine that's true for Everybody, I think nobody in this life is going to be completely free from traits that characterize the fallen state. Crash Films $10. Jay, blessings to you. You're a great influence in my 22 year old life. I'm a catech, I'm in catechesis at a Greek parish. Why are you Rokor? I think Rokor has done better being faithful to the Orthodox tradition. Generally speaking. It doesn't mean that, that there's nobody righteous amongst the Greek Orthodox or anything. I'm not saying that at all. Just for example, you know, Rokor had the 1982 or 3 statement for example, condemning ecumenism. And while there are many people in the Greek churches who are anti ecumenist, the hierarchy typically is pro ecumenist. So I think that there's reasons like that. And also beyond any of the theology stuff, I just ended up vibing really well with, with my priest. We have a great relationship. He's been a very awesome person in my life. I have a lot of respect for him and everybody that meets him also feels the same way. A lot of people respect Father Vladimir so don't have anything bad to say about any, any of that. He's, he's amazing person. Love him very dearly. Bill Brown $10. Where can I get Jay Dyer subject matter list of books? There was, it was on the website but I took it down because it was all jumbled up and the code was all crap. So just you could look at my channel the global elite books that we cover or top 15 orthodox books. Top 15 books to read before you die. Those are good places to start. But yeah, there's not really one master list. I think if you read, if you get the red book. My red book. In the back of the red book there's a reading list so you can go to my website and in the shop get the. The Red book. American Squidward, $2. What business advice would you give to your 20 year old self? Stack Bitcoin. Even though bitcoin didn't exist, but still. Faradine Corino $5. Honor your father, mother. Is that absolute? No, none of the commands typically are absolute. For example, if your father and mother, if they try to undermine a higher authority such as God, you honor the higher authority over the lower. So for example, if your father and mother said you must worship baal, we are your parents, you must honor us. You have a duty to a higher authority to not worship baal. What about situations of where it's impossible and the parents are abusive? Yes. Toxic parents and family members you must set boundaries. You must do things like gray rock, all of that, especially if they're narcissistic. But you also have to be careful to realize, you know, am I being a rebellious kid or are my parents actually being abusive? And if they are being abusive, then yes, you do have to set boundaries, even with parents. So, no, honoring your father, mother is not absolute, because they're not God. Kaden. $50. Kay. Can we get some of that Copenhagen Mint so that you can develop strength? Take atheist sissies behind the woodshed. I think you're talking about Alps. I remember trying dip one time when I was in, like, sixth grade, cuz everybody in Tennessee, all the country boys, all the rednecks, everybody dips, right? And I immediately puked. Ironically, when I had a Zen, I immediately puked and where am I? Alone? I do not have that problem with Alps. I enjoy Alps. Never puked from an Alp, and I don't know where they are, but now I want one because you mentioned it. So. So. But maybe Copenhagen Mint is a flavor. I think, you know, ALP only has, like a couple flavors, so I've only had the. The Juicy Fruit flavor, which is pretty good. Tastes like Juicy Fruit.
