Distraught by worldwide suffering (especially over noms), Emma and Hili feel a bit unfocused today.
Emma: I’m afraid the world is getting less and less friendly.Hili: Don’t frighten me.
In Polish:
Emma: Obawiam się, że świat robi się coraz mniej przyjazny.
Hili: Nie strasz mnie.
Awww. They have Weltschmerz.
I never knew I understood Polish, spooky.
Um…Jerry…the Polish is English…
Naaah. . . I think two readers developed a magical but transitory ability to translate Polish into English.
Well if magic exists, then God must be the cause. We’d better tell WL Craig, so he can put it in a syllogism and use it as a proof.
Make it at least 80 proof, and it won’t take a whole lot for most of us to see gods.

Great to see Emma and Hill! The dynamic duo. She’s right about the world becoming less friendly.
Fret not little ones. The world is still a very friendly place in smaller communities, both real and virtual.
If I understand the fuzz about Pinker’s book right, it is observably becoming friendlier over time.
Maybe one should see Weltschmerz as a road trip.
A road trip with lots of pleasant rest stops and the hope of a happy destination some day for humankind.
