Re: Puberty blockers
Are people who regret having had gender surgery being silenced? Very much so. The "Trans" community will allow as much pro-propaganda as can be generated, but squawks like birds or falls silent whenever a fact related to detransitioners is brought forward. But you can see that for yoursel...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
I should just point out that while the practice, or exercising, of morality collectively seems to be your main point of interest, it isn't really mine, I have not the slightest idea why you would think that. I've been speaking about the definition and meaning of morality, not the exercising thereof...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Well, I happen to think the most likely explanation of the sequential phenomena that give the appearance of causality is some sequence of causally related, broadly speaking mechanical events. Right. And that sequence has to have had a starting point, because an infinite regress is mathematically an...

Re: Puberty blockers
That's sad. As often happens, it sounds like big business is profiting enormously off of all this. That usually leads to overdiagnosis and overprescription. (At least it did for Prozac and the opioid epidemic.) That's the thing, Gary...and yes, it's sad. You know what's even sadder? The suppression...

Re: Puberty blockers
Are there people promoting the non-medical use of puberty blockers on healthy children? If so, it's probably linked to pharmaceutical sales somehow. Pharmaceutical companies actively lobby doctors and hospitals for their products, sometimes leading to overprescription. Close. There's HUGE money in ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
I don't happen to believe in a block universe; like you, I think causality is a thing. The point is that science would not look any different in a block universe, nor an idealist universe, nor a simulation, nor if we were Boltzmann brains, nor any other underdetermined hypothesis you fancy. I don't...

Re: Puberty blockers
Here's a mystery. Why would grown men want to promote the non-medical use of puberty blockers on healthy children? Could anyone think of a reason for this? Puberty blockers keep children looking like prepubescent until the age of consent and beyond. Men...prepubescent children... What's the connect...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Sorry. bad was a slip of the fingers. Just ignore the word. I will edit it out. No problem. Would you be so kind as to rephrase the question itself? I seem to be missing the intention. OK—what are you going to say next? I wasn't going to say anything. I didn't understand your objection, and was wai...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
In order for morality to be effective -result in some "good"- there needs to be some compulsion to abide by it, so some feeling of obligation, or "duty", would be necessary in that respect. I think we're starting to find a point of agreement here. If somebody had a desire or ide...
