Well, who's that riding?

John of who we're going to call John of Pat and also John, this apostle, was so stupid when he was called by Christ that he was almost a beast.

He was the lowest possible intelligence or erudition of a human being that almost one could imagine.

He had nearly an animal form of life because he was of the poorest, of the poor, like basically lumpen, you know, of this category of people like, I don't have the quote from Chris Osama in front of me, but there's like, there's the people that make the nets at the Sea of Galilee and then the people that actually handle the fish and the

boats themselves are even lower than the people who make the nets because they have to pay

the people that make the nets to go out and try to get fish or whatever.

The skilled tradesman and the proletarian, yeah. Yeah, so there was this thing of just like, you know,

John was chosen to deliver some of the most intellectually stimulating

and difficult text in the New Testament, his gospel,

which is highly philosophical and theological,

and this apocalypse, which is crazy as we're going to,

I mean, it's just like a wild text.

And according to Chris Ostum, this was done because one of the point of Christ is to shame

the mighty, to like to bring up literally the lowest possible person, the most like uneducated

possible person and make, this is actually the philosopher.

This is actually that we're going to shame all of the like teachers and we're going to shame all of the rulers through elevating

the most lowly and if you read and now i guess i'm going to do my quick tunnel about the text

and its context if you read through the hebrew bible and the new testament this is a consistent

theme in Torah for example in the in the books of moses there's a recurring theme. In Torah, for example, in the books of Moses,

there's a recurring theme of the second son being preferred

instead of the first son,

which is counter how it usually goes in these kind of societies.
