How can reality be experienced, realized and known if there are no humans? Note whatever the answer you provide can only be answ...

Wonderful gaslighting. THe complete reverse is the truth. My moral philosophy is definitely inclusive and more understanding of the rich diversity of human culture. Yours is utterly without hope of understanding. And that is so obvious since you have failed to establish a single moral rule with you...
