The great Jewish philosopher Maimonides once said, "You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes."

This runs counter to today's tribalism which says we must reject truth if it comes from someone who voted for our political opponents.

Yes a broken clock might be right twice a day, but I also have limited time in my day. I've read enough of his opinions already and would like to make time for some others!
Maimonides and Thiel both used eschatology as a tool to bypass material truth.

I'll take both of their opinions with a grain of salt, thank you. Have fun fighting Gog and Magog!
