Imo bottom-up and top-down approaches to morality are both insufficient, they have to be combined into one system. We need top-down restrictions like: let's not nuke ourselves into oblivion, let's not overpopulate, let's not overheat the planet, let's not destroy the biosphere. Generally: ensure th...

Part 1: Continued rambling preambling (Skip this if you don't like long posts) This is a continuation of a very sensible effort to construct a moral-KFC-Bucket-Thing that is less shit than the morality-proper-KFC that VA has been serving up for a decade or so, and in so doing, perhaps we might also...

American students all across the states are making AMerica great again.

In the face of state violence, and a fascist government who has declared ALL criticism of Zionism; Isreal and Netanyau illegal students are using their constitutional rights to protest.
How - simply camping out on the Campuses.

My point was with reference to the modern era in relation to humans-in-general who has the full knowledge of the negative consequences of inbreeding. Why. I thought you were interested in objective morality Definitely I am interested in objective morality. It is that inbreeding avoidance is scienti...

Do you have reference to support humans-in-genera l has been using 'incest' as a tool for something positive or progress? Example already given of European Royal families. Also Pharoahs of Egypt, and anthropologically look up endogamy. But in animal breeding the examples are legion. My point was wi...

Do you live in SE Asia? I do. So, what exactly is it that you know about SE Asia that I don't know?

I travelled extensively through Laos, Cambodia, and THailand.

You did not answer my questions.

You do not know enough about the rest of the world to know how things work. SO... Well, you didn't know how things works in Islam, but apparently, you still believe that you "know enough about the rest of the world to know how things work". Islamic law works perfectly fine for me. I have ...

How the fuck can you prevent divorce without law. The Catholic Church does not have a divorce procedure. So, you can part ways, but as far as the church is concerned, the marriage still exists. Please Google some anthropology. It is a common term. Other languages have a specific word for it. Englis...

This is not a rare occasion of your failure to not meet expectations. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition. You are tying up your poor brain with too many negatives. To that I say ... you're wrong. The motive of the negatives is for your interest, solely, seeing as how the more lenthy, thoughtful...

No it does not. Marriages that are legally instituted involve the law wherever and when ever they were. No, the Catholic Church was dealing with marriage before the French Revolution. They didn't allow divorce. So, the situation was like in the Philippines today. That is a confused response. How th...

A college professor was "arrested" yesterday by armed men dressed combat style wearing ski masks. Apparently they were a private security firm ordered by the college authorities. His "crime"? Wanting a ceasefire in Gaza.. America has lost the plot. No, it’s the same old story. A...

But you cannot expact the state to not get involved in a system of contracts that are legally binding. That is how it works outside the West. No government involvement. That is also how it used to work in the West before the French Revolution. No it does not. Marriages that are legally instituted i...

What is their "divorce-rape system" exactly? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Divorce%20rape I will never get married because I watched my dad get divorce raped. He gave my mom the houses, cars, kids, and took on all the family debt to preserve the assets for us. My mom sti...

What you are proposing is driven by evil impulses which are grounded in immutable religious doctrines. There is no problem in the world that the government won't make worse. After 250 000 C14 years of staying out of private family matters, the ruling mafia in the West decided that they would hencef...
