I don't think anyone would disagree that they should be accorded respect and legal protection, but when it comes to things like voting, and living in modern society, there may well be some issues.Skepdick wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 7:50 am
We already do so for mentally handycapped people, and not only that - we extend them more courtesy and leeway on being tactless and oblivious to laws, customs and cultural norms so there's legal precedent to treating any humanoid similarly.
The question isn't whether they should get rights - obviously they should. Heck - we extend rights and legal protection to pets and animals.
The question is whether they can bear the brunt of the responsibilities that come with those rights, or whether we would be setting them up for failure and ultimately robbing them of autonomy when the calls for "adult supervision" grow louder.
In fact would 'they' even be stupid enough to even BEGIN to WANT to live in that so-called 'modern society', which is being REFERRENCED here?How many years do you want to CLAIM here, so-called 'modern humans' have existed for?And by all accounts the so- called 'settled society' is NOT working out to good AT ALL
Maybe because CHANGE is about the MOST Natural 'thing' there IS, and so 'trying to' FIGHT CHANGE, by and through 'settlement' IS JUST A Truly UNNATURAL 'thing' to do.
Being PREPARED FOR CHANGE, and PREPARED FOR VERY QUICK CHANGE, IS, literally, HOW and WHY species ADAPT. AND, those that ARE PREPARED FOR, and DO, CHANGE ARE the FITTEST, and WHO DO SURVIVEHave you SEEN some of the so-called 'art' SHOWN and EXPRESSED, in the days when this is being written?
Is ALL of 'that' NIT rudimentary?
About 60,000 years, maybe more.

Humans have lived in settled societies since the end of the Ice Age, first Mesolithic, then Neolithic. This has been fairly successful.

No.
