Not ASMR but seeking reassurance that the tempo of the mouth's emissions are being understood from non-native English speakers. Reading a script reminding one of the drone of bagpipes without a melody, but definitely inoculating a rapt audience in somnolent monotones.

The Gospel of salvation of our souls: 💜💕💖✨💖❤️📖✝️🕎💡💡❤️❤️💞💕💖❤️💜♥️❤️💕For what I received I passed on to you as of [first importance]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.

It's amazing how she can say so little over such a long time. I could only endure this discourse for a few minutes, until it became clear that it was going to continue in the same tedious, unoriginal manner to the end.

Points made in the first few minutes:
- Vulnerability is a fundamental aspect of being human.
- Precarity is when vulnerability is exploited to the point of unlivable experience.
- Resistance, such as non-violent protests, enhances this vulnerability but fights against precarity.
- Exploitation of people by the state rejects the fundamental reality of vulnerability which further feeds its ability to exploit.
- Resistance is action which includes acknowledging vulnerability as fundamental.
- By acknowledging vulnerability as fundamental, resistance threatens the state's ability to exploit.
Come on, bruh. Pay attention.
