Man can work out morality mostly through reason and dispense the need for the artificial authority through an invented divine being. The bonus with this is you get rid of thought control punishment for victimless crimes (blasphemy) and can adapt much quicker to advancing knowledge (the need for the use of condoms or say the realisation that…[Read more]

No, Godly beings have human constructed morality because God is a human construction, invented by confused, scared and fragile human beings yet to be enlightened.

You said:

And now BLM movement does not want to hear that the cops kill blacks at greater rate is false. But it is false.

It wasn’t clear if this was an extension of Sam Harris’s ideas or your own commentary so if you were just paraphrasing something by Harris then I appologise.

No I don’t think that any idea should be heavily…[Read more]

Could you please tell me Jake what data you are using to defend the preposterous claim that black people aren’t being killed by police at a much higher proportion than their population? WTF?

It seems the democrats are moving slightly more towards conservative ideology to court potential (only potential) Republican converts. The Republicans aren’t doing the same. If anything they are heading more towards far-right ideologies and not making any slight compromise ideologically. This means everything in American politics is heading…[Read more]

I see unseen. So you’re fine with letting trans people be a woman or man in just about every other way but discriminating against trans-people when it comes to sports. What about LGTBQ+ people? Should they be stuck in their own category? A majority of people around the world don’t consider them “natural” men and women. I also fail to see how…[Read more]

They’ve undergone hormone therapy (which highly reduces testosterone and raises estrogen). Their numbers are also tiny. It’s not like there has been an avalanche of trans-women (please get that right) standing on all the podiums. As you’ve said before, what’s fair about someone born with a better genetic profile competing against someone with…[Read more]

And please be a little more careful with using terms like “artificial woman”.  They aren’t robots created in a laboratory. The term trans-woman communicates the same information without the (admittedly possibly unintended) derogatory connotation.

No Unseen. I said there should be the normal league where people play for the gender they identify with (meaning a transwoman plays on the woman’s team). And another league for people who kick up a fuss and cannot handle living in the 21st century.

I believe that the following solution is the best one:

People use the bathroom of the gender they identify with.

But if a people kick up such a stupid god damn trans-phobic fuss then I think the South Park solution is the second best:

There are three bathrooms. A male and female bathroom and people can use the bathroom of the gender they…[Read more]

Where Robert lives is somewhat windy just now…

Some of it is genuinely narcissistic, patriarchal. Men getting away with control and domination. But sadly some of it comes from genuine (though misplaced) kindness. The belief that women and children are incapable of making smart life decisions, need to be steered in the right direction by capable men and see their job as leading a family of…[Read more]
