I, personally, am a miserable sinner, and probably have not had an original thought, though some may say so.
On that note, Rosenstock, I think I remember said that his stuff, (he didn't use stuff) wouldn't be mainstream (he didn't say mainstream) until 70 years after his death. (1973 + 70 = 2043).
Rosenstock also said that anything of value lasts (must remain) for 3 generations. Thus, I have established godparents (for this eldster) who will carry on my work (mostly derivative of JBJ and ERH and GKN and MB, etc). Also grandchildren in the flesh, though I hold out little hope there.
I recently found that there are many who claim 'common sense' morality, who don't recognize it as 'cultural Christianity' bought for them by the blood of martyrs unknown. I'm among them.
Most of what I've learned came from decades of listening while working, so it's not scholarly, only absorbed.
As Jim, or North, or somebody, said, about ill-gotten gains, the best thing to do is give to the church, since you can't know to whom to give it.
And yes, I used the tricks that got me to be able to shoot my age in gold, ambidextrously (every other shot left-handed) to decide to go to a church with a pastor (not an aspiring seminary professor) whn I realized how many billion$ it cost me to not. But I'm probably mistaken there too.
I have realized that 'ethnoi' may be broader in meaning than nations--the nation state is RECENT (Barzun, Hoppe). But 'pillars' may be ethnoi ('Contagious Disciple Making' baptized a million thus, and I would have been better off in the old home town (so would my mother--we/I mistakenly thought she would get Christian care in a Christian community). Ditto for medical care. (I am recovering from being medically crippled, and I went elsewhere after the 'oops!' that had me urinating blood for weeks.
But, inclusio, 'I, personally, am a miserable sinner, and probably have not had an original thought, though some may say so.'.

PS: Is 'NTI' a series of Aholiab-like instructions for building, is it another 'story' 'story', it it n-dimensional?
