Time is the most finite of all
our commodities
Nancy Pelosi she got his attention
he paraphrased she actually said Time is such an – the most important
commodity, the most important commodity, the most finite of all commodities
he didnt think of Time as a commodity
it was that that arrested himmade
him pause recognise realise yet Time commodified it wasnt necessarily
“a raw material or primary agricultural product that can be bought and sold" copper or coffee were examples
he didnt want to get into the economic definition fungibility
it offended fungi
he remembered the Speaker said it
but he couldnt help wonder if she didnt borrow itliberate it though didnt
accredit it she was speaking had she written it he felt a footnote would have
been appropriate
ofcourse he Googled thats what we do
as a boy and a young man he preferredrather enjoyed ferreting information
through the librarys card catalogue he
was a good researcher often he walked off
path to research something that captured his eye as the Speaker had
one place he inadvertently
descended briefly idling – wasting time – burying thy talent – if idle ones
talent would be buriedwasted
he exposed himself to Doctrine
and Covenants 60:13
that
wasnt in his King James where the fuck was
he OhChrist
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints
he was usually cool with peoples
religions as long as they didnt proselytise and steered the fuck clear of him however robbing soulsworse than grave robbing unhinged him they tout they is Latter-days tout scripture that speaks of the
soul three ways One spirit beings both premortal and postmortal –
if that doesnt creep one out what would Two a spirit and body united in
mortality Three an immortalresurrected person whose spirit
and body have become inseparably connected
the creep got worse when he read The thing of most worth unto you is to
bring souls unto Me as cited D&C 15:6
NOW
from what he read earlier
D&C would be not physics or brain science Doctrine and Covenants
however a monkey howled at the back of his bony cage
and rushedhurled forward to grab the bony bars just behind his eyeballs shriekin
D and C! DanC! D&C! the muscular
cringing ape was right D & C Dilation and Curette now the Latter-day Saints could posit their
D&C preceded medicines D&C
with a little digging he found France’s Dr. Recamier’s 1850 notice Memoire sur les production fibrouses et les
fongosites intra-uerines
with a little more
digging he found The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded
around 1830 by the living prophet Joseph Smith who dug up in September 1927 golden
plates which an angelthe angel lead him and from which he translated and transcribed The Book of Mormon
Smith was forbidden by the angel to
show the plates to anyone though they could heft the box the plates were inside eyewitnesses attested Smith translated
the plates not by looking at them but by looking through a transparent seer-stone
in the bottom of his hat -- beside the rabbit
Awright the word of a scientist versus the word of a living
prophet
hed go with the scientist uteruses exist the miraculous Golden Plates written in
Reformed Egyptian were found and seen only by Joseph Smith then three witnesses then
eight new witnesses Smiths and Whitmers who swore they saw and handled the
plates Hmm why did not Smith listen to the angel
hed saddle up beside Mark
Twain I could not feel more satisfied
and at rest if the entire Whitmer family had testified.
with D&C put to rest
his mind at ease
he returned to D&C 60:13 Matthew was cited the Lord instructed his early missionaries to
“not idle away thy time, neither shalt thou bury thy talent that it may not be
known.”
that made
sense why would anyone bury their talent
why would anyone not want their talent
known
Ooops talent not talent he had to remember this was Godspeak or Godwrit
since God didnt
speakhe wouldnt listen a good deal he had to read His word from the quills of others even if originally scribbled on Golden Plates
so he opted to take a lookie-see
at Matthew in the King James Bible a good
reference source and he found in the New
Testament Matthew 25:25 And I was
afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
that didnt sound like any talent he
could think of and dug deeper
The values of a talent
A talent Ancient Greek talanton (had it been Latin he might have been closer from the start) ‘scale’ ‘balance’ a talent OhBrutha
was a unit of weight of approximately 80 pounds (36kg – whynot) and when it was
used as money was valued for that weight
of silver as a unit of currency a talent was worth about 6,000 denari (an
ancient Roman silver coin worth ten asses -- thats better – although the asses he
was thinkin of might not flatter the women whose they were)
as an aside 25 denari were worth one ancient Roman gold coin
a denarius – singular – was the
usual payment for a days labour at one
denarius per day a single talent is worth 16 years of labor
Ohwell so much for an unwanted economics lesson
ones usually not paid what theyre worth
their talent is a haggling point
though unfortunately most people usually sell their talenttheir
TIME too cheap
