'The explosive growth in sports gambling is bad for sports, and - most important - it has proved to be bad for millions of Americans who gamble past the point of prudence and move directly to the point of pain. The sports gambling revolution needs more regulation. It may even need termination.'

When I was a baby, my Mom cross stitched this Jim Elliot quote, which, sadly, I lost track of. She and my dad came and visited me this weekend and surprised me by re-framing it. I'll hang it in my home office, when I have one. It's one of my treasures.

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." - Elliot.

"We are all balls of reason and emotion. To render either automatically suspect, or to embrace either unconditionally, is to diminish part of our humanity and undermine our capacity for virtue. In fact, they are so linked together that it’s impossible to truly separate them in our minds or hearts."

The evidence is now in. The explosive growth in sports gambling is bad for sports, and it has proved to be bad for the millions of Americans who gamble past the point of prudence and directly to the point of pain. The sports gambling revolution needs more regulation. It may even need termination.

Podcast is great in general - a friend from DC interviews Graham Tomlin about his new biography of Pascal. Recommend!

Jon Tilley @jtilley80.bsky.social · 6d

I learned from this podcast that Blaise Pascal invented public transportation. He thought it unjust that the rich could go long distances in their carriages but the poor were limited, so he thought up public carriage routes. So, ÖV-lovers, raise a glass to Pascal tonight! ttf.org/podcasts/epi...

Episode 126 | Blaise Pascal as a Modern Guide with Graham Tomlin - The Trinity Forum

Graham Tomlin brings us on a journey through Blaise Pascal’s life, his conversion to Christianity, and his famous argument for belief in God known as “the Wager.”
