DARPA Created the Internet and Lifelog, But "Killed" Lifelog the Same Day Facebook Began. Co-Inky Dink?

I saw that Facebook was an easy way to collect all kinds of data and sell it to various entities. Also, the so-called privacy controls are almost meaningless for professional users, especially those paying for their access.

Besides that, many FB denizens have been tricked into using additional "free" gimmicks and games to collect all the data on their FB friends.

Much of this is also accomplished through tracking cookies on computers plus unique identifiers - like cell phone numbers and email addresses. Both identifiers are unique and often used, so anyone with one can get the other.

Facebook could dissolve tomorrow and the data gathering would continue at the same pace.

I just want people to be aware of this and to be careful of what they publish. I had a big laugh when Father Hollywood got angry that I posted (as his FB friend) on "his" page. When software is "free," the individual's data is the product. It is Zuckerberg's software, Zuckerberg's page, Zuckerberg's data to sell.

To continue using Facebook, avoid all games and platforms completely. Limit the ability of others to view posts, friend lists, and photos. Use a long password like this - 19LittleRock01! - very hard to crack by outsiders.

I will use Facebook for now but I expect it to be a punchline in a few years.

Study uncovers surprising things about squirrels | National | bakersfield.com:



"In one experiment, Delgado tested how squirrels assess food when provided nuts of different values. She presented participating squirrels with a specific order of hazelnuts and peanuts and observed the following behaviors for each nut: the number of head flicks, the time manipulating the nut with the paw, the time until the nut was eaten or cached, the number of incomplete caches before a successful cache and the time spent covering a cached nut.

Turning a nut around in their paws serves multiple functions. It helps the squirrels assess the integrity of the nut and spot any holes or cracks in the shell. Imperfections could indicate the nut is more susceptible to rot. They also might be the best entry points for breaking into the shell."

 These boys were waiting a few feet away until I filled their feeder with sunflower seeds.

Calvinistic Substance, Pietistic Style

 When was the first time the UOJ Stormtroopers used this quotation from Robert Preus' book? Never!

Edward Preuss was a Missouri professor until he joined Rome. Neuhaus also went from UOJ to UOJ/Rome.

Some people catch onto the contradictions in Universal Objective Justification right away. Does anyone ask where the U came from? WELS seems to be obsessed with Universal Objective Justification, which is both redundant and new. Perhaps the Objective Justification term makes the ELS/LCMS more "confessional," though they cannot find their OJ in the Confessions.

This dogma belongs in the Calvinistic shoebox because it combines two of the worst parts of that dogma.

1. Unconditional Election - UOJ is election without faith.
2. Irresistible Grace - UOJ is grace without faith.

Naturally, a foul dogma squeezed out of the cankers of Calvinism and Pietism will have numerous contradictions. Various names for this WELS-ELS-LCMS disorder have justification in their title, all signifying a declaration of forgiveness without faith. That is their Helen of Troy, the unfaith that launched a thousand essays.

• OJ
• UOJ
• Justification of the World
• General Justification

Their dank muttering is contradictory because they start with a crippled vocabulary. Justification in the New Testament always means a declaration of forgiveness, and it is always connected with faith. The same is true of the Book of Concord, Chemnitz, Gerhard, and others. The Atonement has many synonyms, such as propitiation, expiation.

So these MDiv graduates, with little Latin and less Greek, want us to fall for their con-game. "OJ is not the Atonement," they say. But OJ foolishly merges the Atonement with Justification, to produce the sterile offspring, the mule named OJ, UOJ, etc etc. And they glory in "without faith."

 The acrobatics fail to convince. If only the editors of the Formula of Concord knew as much as WELS!
