I would argue the reformation was in some respects catorizable in the box of "modern Christianity" 👴

I agree. My point is just that when we are talking about someone questioning the truth of scripture, it's important to first clarify if they are talking about what scripture says is true vs. what someone told them it says.

The constitution is not a permission slip for citizens. It is a list of restrictions on the government.

There are a couple things I would bicker with this guy about (e.g. seemed to assert that Americans are generally metabolically healthier than all other countries), but the 5 minutes or so at the 25 minute mark is worth listening too.
The whole nonprofit vs for profit hospital scheme is just made up.
The interplay between insurance companies charging a commission for a "deal" while hospitals using those made up price gaps to justify nonprofit status (read: tax benefits) and turn around and get additional federal payments is an absolute scam.

Agreed. The interplay between federal overreach and corruption disguised as "complexity" is a huge player here.

Hospitals and insurance agencies put on a show of being enemies while working together behind the scenes to game the system for their advantage, using lobbying and federal overreach as their primary tools of control.
The healthcare equivalent of the deep state.

This was a very interesting conversation. I disagree with their presuppositions about healthcare as a right or that the government needs to step in and mop up the failings of a private system, and their characterization of the US system as a free market system (thought Peter would know better by now).
That said, the discussion around the 33 minute mark or so of WHY healthcare in particular is subjected to inflation secondary to fiat inputs is very good.
They end with proffering mixed public/private system that can compete while bemoaning advocating for a governmental role here.
I think a more interesting solution is 1) fix the money 2) root out corruption 3) and correct systemic incentives. Once that is done, a true free market healthcare system would actually be able to function and my personal thought is then the Church may actually have a role in the support of those who fall through the cracks (analogous to Paul's argument regarding the support of widows in 1 Tim 5).

Public health is weaponized, politicized medicine in the form of a dictatorship without judicial restraint.

Galations 6:1
"Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted."
In my "best" moments, I recognize the glory of God's plan and pattern for life, and praise Him for saving even me - the foremost of sinners (come at me, Paul).
But lest I rise up in the pride of my flesh, it's never long before, however briefly, I find my mind wandering to "But has God really said..." and am driven back in weakness and absolute reliance to the hand of the One who has promised to lose none of whom the Father has given.
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

Nice. It looks like a pretty solid way to go.

Any privacy-focused laptop recommendations? Trying to decide between going through something like System76 or similar vs. just getting a dell/Lenovo and installing a Linux distro.
