I watch this Zoe bee video a little over a month ago. Talking about how we use metaphors to grasp abstract concepts, how we use it in our daily life and how we use as map, in our politics and so on. Something imo she didn’t focus enough is the metaphor we forget were ever metaphors(fun fact: the word “metaphor” has the world “meta”). This use one here, its like the three fishes with water. You see it so much you forgot it ever existed.

    The bible.

    It’s unfortunately been distorted a lot with translations over time, but it was originally a story about morales in a world of greed.

    If Jesus came back he would be crucified again for being too “woke”.

        Actually, I think he’s be on a street corner being generally ignored by everyone as he prophesied ‘all the read words’ like a looney. I doubt he’d be taken seriously at all.

        Sadly.

          Maybe he came back really quite some time ago and died in obscurity trying desperately the whole time to persuade everyone he was a big deal and ever since people are still waiting around wondering "when’s this second coming happening?’ having no idea they missed it and it was pretty lame.
