Is "The Great Reset" a conspiracy theory or something else?

My perspective is that an opinion from a Christian viewpoint can never be 'inappropriate' anymore than an opinion from an atheist or agnostic viewpoint should be. You may be angling toward that idea that religion, money and politics should not be talked about in polite company, but we are hardly polite and we are already talking about politics, yes. Christians should have a seat at the table just like anyone else, and be as free to dismiss your beliefs as you seem to feel you are to dismiss theirs. Insh'Allah

Wondering if you're a member of the Mensa of atheists, the Freedom From Religion Society

It seems you often shoot just left if the point we try to make. You seem to just circle this drain of persecution.

Perhaps I'm not being as clear as I think I am. Perhaps you're reading through a heavy filter.

Regardless as to where the fault lands. I'm bored going back and forth with you here.

So how about we leave this religious debate at a failed practice of communication. I hope you have a great night.

[So, are you trying to say I'm jerking my trigger now? ]

Really, though, the last bit about persecution is just bull**** - although I'm used to some on INGO trying to get last digs in while executing the 'better part of valor'

You will find no examples of me compelled to insert religion in response to the ridiculous 'the learned man eschews religion' trope, but I have noticed that you seem compelled to insert criticism of religion anytime it comes up in a thread you are involved in. I am just of the opinion believers need not be treated like second class citizens needing to hide their beliefs

I deal in C almost exclusively.


I was (and still) writing a program to mangle some files, at the end is a magic signature...

// Now write Klaatu nikto barrada to the file so the device recognizes it as valid.


It was a reverse engineering job because another engineer never bothered to document the formatting or check his source into revision control.


I write a lot of sarcastic and culturally relevant comments (who me?). My philosophy is that comments should explain high level details and explain why you made certain design choices and where potential pitfalls are; they should be multiple paragraph when necessary. My symbols (e.g. variable and function names) are often very long, and rarely do I use abbreviations.


You should see my git commit comments.

I love well commented code

Well...everyone says that. But lets get back to the idea that you've come to the conclusions by yourself.



You didn't used to believe in Bible prophecy. But now you do. Your change of mind appears to be caused by your attendance of the "last days" studies where maybe it did not feel like it was being explained to you. Many denominations have such studies--nothing untoward about that--and what's presented to you as "plain scripture" takes on the meanings implied. Again, nothing untoward about that. It's just how we think. For every one of you who think that you arrived at your belief about prophecy on your own, the thing you tend to believe is what the group says it means.

It is indeed ambiguous text. There are many plausible meanings. And that's why there are so many denominations, and interpretations. Attend the prophecy study groups of 20 different denominations and you'll come away thinking they're all wrong, that YOU are right. Well, every one of them will have the same impression as you, that THEY are the ones who are right, and everyone else has it wrong.

I'm not saying you should not believe what you've come to believe. But beware of the kind of confidence that leads to hubris; an assumption that you are right, and that they are wrong. Without any other input, you have 100 different people who have no prior knowledge of eschatology, they'll each have a different take on what it could possibly mean. Generally each denomination will have their own interpretations, and their interpretations will likely come from where their leaders went to seminary.

So who leads you around by the nose? You didn't get your ideas yourself thats impossible as you seem to imply.

 

[JettaKnight]

I'm honest to admit that eschatology is not an easy subject, and would put money that true answer is yet unknown.


Heck, we can't even agree about something common like Baptism. Both camps will say, "it's clear if you just read." No, no it's not otherwise you wouldn't have brilliant theologians on both sides of the issue. I'm a die hard Baptist, but if I'm honest with myself, I'd probably be a sprinkler if my parents raised me as a Presbertyrian. And eschatology is even more ambiguous than that!


To point to any current event and say, "the Bible predicts this as part of the end!", is dumb, IMHO. History is littered with these sorts of predictions that never came to fruition.


There is a parallel with "The Great Reset" in that you see it in terms of your worldview. Holding a Christian worldview, I see things that bolster my belief that God is in control. If you're afraid of a globalist conspiracy, Seeing talk of a Great Reset is only going to bolster that belief.



I love theology, but this topic isn't the place for it. Now back to software engineering.

They can be reimbursed for the value of it, the concept is to spread it to other drug makers to increase the manufacturing capacity.
That isn't socialism.

Do you think the arms manufacturing market is socialist? Because that's more or less exactly what they do with the TDP.

Having the state tell you what your invention is worth and then take the rights to it IS socialist--unless you decide it's a good deal. If it was an issue of increasing production capacity, other companies could be licensed by the inventors to make it.

You can always vote in socialism/communism.
But you have to shoot your way out of it.

You should see my git commit comments.

My philosophy is that the code should explain the high level details. Comments explaining WHAT you’re doing should be rare. But sometimes WHY you’re doing it is important enough to comment. But I understand you’re doing imbedded systems so that’s not always feasible.

Sarcastic comments would definitely not fly where I work. Pull requests and peer review is part of the process. We can’t just change code. I would reject a pull request if the code did not meet what we agreed were the standards.

Standards?





We're a team of 3.5 total. So the embedded stuff is all me. I do follow the MISRA C standard. 'Round here, I'm considered the process enforcer; I manage the build server and all it's static analysis.


I did work on space project for a major defense contractor, so I was more disciplined there. Actually, I was less disciplined in ways, as they were stuck in the 90's using waterfall development (and Subversion ). Now days I use Test Driven Design - my code is a lot cleaner.

I kinda liked Subversion before Git came along. It was better than CVS. But git is pretty much it now.

For those playing the home version of the game, this is still a thing:

Janet Yellen says this week's IMF and World Bank meetings will be a 'Bretton Woods' moment

It's time for a new post-COVID monetary world order, she said Monday.

fortune.com

"Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is prepared to build a new global economy from the ground up, a new, restructured world order.
/
“We must do better,” Yellen told Americans and a global audience in a 25-minute speech delivered from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, ahead of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank spring meetings this week. The economist compared the upcoming meetings, which will take place in Argentina, to 1944’s Bretton Woods Conference, a meeting that redefined the international monetary system after World War II and created a new world order."
/
Throughout her speech, Yellen emphasized that a new global economy would have to be based on diversity and inclusion. The Bretton Woods Conference, she said, created an economy in which, “while we embraced trade as an engine for growth, we neglected those who did not benefit.” The Biden administration, she said, would prioritize the “human rights of all people—of women and girls, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of every race, ethnic background, and religion—to help ensure that those rights are protected at home and abroad.”

SDR proposals could help reset international monetary system - OMFIF

Significance spreads beyond help for emerging nations

www.omfif.org

"The International Monetary Fund’s special drawing right – the international reserve asset created in 1969 to prepare for a new dollar crisis – is undergoing a renaissance, with important worldwide repercussions. The announcement of by far the largest-ever increase in SDR allocations, which will greatly improve the liquidity of many developing nations, signals alignment between the US and China in a key area of global monetary power.

The immediate reason behind the decision on 19 March by the G7 group of industrial nations was to help low- and middle-income countries hit by the pandemic. UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, speaking after a finance ministers’ meeting under the UK’s G7 presidency, said the new capital injection ensured that ‘no country is left behind’. Kristalina Georgieva, IMF managing director, said the planned SDR allocation – to be finalised next month – would accompany measures on ‘debt vulnerabilities’ and concessional finance."

IMF Mulls Creating $650 Billion in Reserves After Yellen Nod

The board conveyed broad support for additional reserve assets to help developing economies cope with the pandemic.

www.bloombergquint.com

"The International Monetary Fund’s board conveyed broad support for drafting a proposal to create $650 billion in additional reserve assets to help developing economies cope with the pandemic, with an eye on considering a formal plan by June.
The institution’s executive board discussed the case for the reserves informally on Tuesday, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in a statement after the conclusion of the meeting. Fund staff will develop new measures to enhance transparency and accountability and explore options for members with strong financial positions to reallocate the reserves, known as special drawing rights, to support vulnerable and low-income countries, Georgieva said. “If approved, a new allocation of SDRs would add a substantial, direct liquidity boost to countries, without adding to debt burdens,” Georgieva said. “It would also free up badly needed resources for member countries to help fight the pandemic, including to support vaccination programs and other urgent measures.” Momentum has been building for the injection of funds after U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen leaned toward supporting the action, reversing opposition last year under President Donald Trump. Her predecessor, Steven Mnuchin, blocked the move in 2020, saying that because reserves are allocated to all 190 members of the IMF in proportion to their quota, some 70% would go to the Group of 20, with just 3% for the poorest developing nations."
