Young people seriously scoff at "old outdated beliefs" then get oneshot by the stupidest stuff ever.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 21, 2026

People can go further in one paradigm by working harder within it and following the rules, but every paradigm is under judgment.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) November 1, 2026

Very nice guy, and even a very good friend to me, but someone who is still not really ready to let go of some of their weird Western individualist hangups.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 21, 2026

Chinese culture kills itself against Goodhart’s law (and by the way, notice how Chinese immigration to the West has massively pumped how much metrics-gaming we now see in American society), and Western culture at its laziest lies down and waits for the rapture.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026

Putting it another way, Chinese people are all very gungho about getting into an overcrowded idol's temple, while Westerners are lazy getting up for church service.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026

This kind of thing is why I think public school that is not explicitly part of an effective Christian theocracy is a doomed project and should be immediately abandoned by anyone who likes goodness and truth and beauty.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 21, 2026

The challenge for Chinese culture is to orient temporalities to spiritualities, and the challenge for Western culture is to connect spiritualities to temporalities.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026

Libertarianism as a worldview rather than as a tool *always* leads to Satanism. It chooses and worships Caesar, and honestly a really dumb one.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 9, 2026

Westerners like talking about Chinese underground churches, but from what I can tell their overall catechism is at least as bad for laity here and is combined with a broader culture that at the end of the day does not care for even the semblance of logical debate.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026

China's somewhat mercurial language makes it hard to actually sustain a focused long-term project. A disciplined founder eventually dies. A civilization needs institutions that transmit judgment rather than enforce compliance.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026

It is because we are not perfect that we are best off giving the benefit of the doubt and engaging in the usual cultural Christian niceties which give each other some wiggle room. But we should never forget that this is about letting God act, not about moralizing to God.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 13, 2026
