  1. Nationalism does not inspire traditional living. Just about every nation in the last century has departed from traditional life despite being very nationalistic.
  2. Epistemology isn’t the truth, it is analyzing how human try to approach the truth. Observation, philosophy, tradition, etc.
  3. The hierarchy of family, locale, state is a evolved protective mechanism.
  4. A corporation doesn’t do anything. People do things. Hold a person responsible.
  5. Back to your main point. You never made an argument as to why I should love all humanity equally, but I’ll reply anyway. you should love your children more than your friend’s children, because your children have more in common with you. And the reality is that the form of nonspecific love that Liberals express for all of humanity has no mechanism by which to express itself. Liberals claim to love all humanity, then pollute worse than others. Conservatives will say God, family country, then serve in a food kitchen, donate blood, charity at a much higher rate... and as to sharing something with others, you are descended from a virus, just like everything else living on the planet, so don’t take antibiotics...
  6. By all means, take responsibility for your own behavior, why does that have anything to do with the company?
  7. Would you rather that if you and I partner and create a company that I be held liable for your behavior?
  8. What makes you think private company/banks wouldn’t issue gold, silver and other precious metal coins. its complete BS that precious metals don’t have value. Electronic company are still consuming gold at current prices to plate leads and jewelry, silver is used in solder and fillings, platinum catalytic converters, copper wiring... Besides one can insure their bank/currency against failure.
  9. Yeah Jordan Peterson quotes the same studies.
  10. That is a good point. The problem is that prior to the universe, time didn’t exist, time being a dimension of our universe, so the question of cause breaks down there. yes it is possible to be ethical but immoral, and moral but unethical. A lawyer often does horribly immoral things, but those things are ethical by lawyer standards. And sometimes people violate ethics to stand up for morality. None of this applies to supernatural creatures as theyonly have morality, not ethics.
  11. I did research it before posting the question. And hearing Murphy describe the history definitely helps. No such regulation before 1968? Insiders lobbying the government to add the regulation... This helps tremendously. I’m almost all the way there. Just this one niggling concern. When a company is going to fail, the CEO can get his money out before the stock holder, worker.
  12. The universe we experience was made by a first Cause. I believe in God. As to whether he is good (definition of Good means from God) is obvious. As to our experience of bad things, I believe there is an answer to all questions, but I don’t claim to have the answer to all questions.
  13. Atheists love to complain about religion causing deaths. They never accept responsibility for the deaths of secular ideologies.
  14. Why put a child in a school that they have to lie to get an A? At what point do they stop lying? What if your child realizes it might be beneficial to lie to you?
