PERSONAL UPDATE: GLAD it is FRIDAY, glad I get paid today, still circling the drain on project focus. I hope to have a breakthrough this weekend on something creative and healthy and some exercise … but likely I will spend both days listening to music, drinking, vaping weed, and staring bleakly OUTWARD into the expanding filthy emptiness as I escape further inward. We’ll see, no need to get dramatic. Happy I got paid. I feel if I can finish CHAPTER 3, I can finish the first book … BFW1

I AM a NON-CONSEQUENTIALIST

… and I can’t imagine a Christian that wouldn’t be, with Pascal’s Wager as a CAUTIONARY backdrop.

“Consequentialists” or Utilitarians or any “the ends justifies the means” freaks drool over the TROLLEY PROBLEM … but it’s a Skinner Box, it’s a torture chamber. As with the Milgram Experiment: it might just be Doritos for the brain.

BTW: great exploration of the “trolley problem” is the 1964 CLASSIC “FAIL-SAFE”
