Quote by Ash Sarkar

“Attention, as well as being a commodity that can be monetised through digital platforms, is a psychological wage. We know this from when we are children: think of the heaven of basking in the glow of an attentive parent or teacher. To be recognised is to be told that you matter, that your life has worth and that you have a place in the world. There’s nothing unhealthy about that. But our media and politics leverage the psychological wages of attention in a way that is utterly corrosive and warping.”

“Culture war is only possible when Americans look to their government to establish a cultural template for the nation but disagree about what that template should look like. Another way of putting it: culture war is the natural consequence of nationalism because people will inevitably fight over the definition of the “nation,” especially who counts as a member of the nation.”

“Now the “earth turns over” just as Immanuel Velikovsky predicted. A horrific 90-degrees tilt of the earth in which the weight of ice packs in Greenland and Antarctica precipitates the 12,000-year cyclical catastrophe foretold by so many from humanity’s past. T. S. Eliot stands avenged; the world as we know it goes out with a whimper.”

“Rather we say that in the cross, God had in view the actual, effective redemption of his children from all that would destroy them, including their own unbelief. And we affirm that when Christ died particularly for his bride, he did not simply create a possibility or an opportunity for salvation, but really purchased and infallibly secured for them all that is necessary to get them saved, including the grace of regeneration and the gift of faith.”
