Friday Bullets: Thanksgiving Weekend
• Good philosophy in a human to human context which is the context of LinkedIn.
• Theologically and within my theistic, philosophy of religion, as the infinite, God causes all things, humanity actually at best is only semi-anonymous as secondarily agents and secondary causes to events primarily caused by God.
• Self-governance, as in the ability to only follow one' s own human rule, not fully the case as God simultaneously wills all human desire, will, thought and action.
• Some things likely occur where there is no secondary cause, and in those cases there is no moral accountability for secondary agents.
• If that were even possible as the secondary causes were significantly rational entities. For example, if a tree causes something as a secondary cause there is no moral accountability.
• A person with significant mental limitations, permanent or temporary, may also be beyond moral accountability. Or perhaps, may have limited accountability.
• Ultimate judgement of human beings is up to God, post-mortem (Hebrew 9: 27, 2 Corinthians 5: 10 for those in Jesus Christ, Revelation 20-22).
• God causes all things whether in a perfect will context or permissible will context.

• I am still chipping away at my condominium renovations, with flooring and some furniture and appliances being completed when my now late Mother, was initially institutionalized.
• My new bed arrived today, which is a Bloom Air Mattress. Awesome upgrade. Especially for someone still improving from sleep apnea and scaling down in size for several years.
• 'Chucknesszombie' will be visiting tomorrow (October 10) night for my parental thanksgiving dinner. But Zoom is still on @ 21: 30 PDT.
• I wonder if any nice person will ever 'crash' the event? New people are welcome, just not people that 'hate my guts', therefore the invite.
