A fountain pen is just a controlled leak

Identifying might be the best word to use, given the psychology literature all tends to use that, but thank you for your critique.

Why are people so interested in defining themselves along sexual identity and orientation in relatively recent western culture?

Why now? Why is it so different from most of human existence?

Because we are no longer facing famine. The Green Revolution has made our relationship with food so secure we no longer define ourselves in relation to it.

Throughout most of history people are farmers or ranchers or shepherds or bakers or butchers or millers.

So, we climb the Biological hierarchy of needs looking for our next characteristic that needs fulfillment.

Gnosticism, to me, honestly feels like the true story of Christianity.

There are lots of unrelated ideas and beliefs grouped together as “Gnosticism”. The truth was that early Christianity was incredibly diverse, varied and local.

Only when the Emperor(s) got involved (around the third century) does there–like everything the Emperor’s did–need to be a uniformity and consistency so that Christianity reflects the Emperor’s fasces–his imperium and potestas.

You are no longer some rudderless Christian, you are a Roman Catholic Christian who worships the Jesus sponsored by the Emperor!

Cum like an Egyptian.

In the book of Mark–the earliest Gospel–none of the disciples realize Jesus is the Son of God, lol.

Scholars call it the “Messianic Secret”.

Vim makes it easy to edit text in complicated ways, once you’ve learned it.

Vim is not easy to learn nor intuitive.

It is simple and compounding.

You might not ever edit enough text to ever need to learn a new skillset to edit text. If that’s the case, use nano.

But if you do find yourself editing a lot of text, consider trying vimtutor.

It takes 20 minutes and you’ll be proficient enough to match nano’s efficiency ceiling.
