Most scientific research is wasted, but we dedicate only a couple % of our GDP to it. The benefits that couple % create are completely out of proportion to the inputs. Medicines, buildings, defense, etc. i am not promoting government be involved in research. No one here thinks congress could find their --- in the dark.

Once you remove the Federal Reserve/Central Bank, you don't need any regulations. Let them offer the types of loans they want, pay any rate of return, maintain any reserve, so long as it is public knowledge. Some will offer the types of products you like and you will engage there, others won't. Once it is a private business, you should have no control over how two consenting adults engage in business. Everything I like should be protected, everything I don't like outlawed?

If possible, take a learning disorder exam. Some people are smart but they have to compensate when material is presented in a certain way. Im very visual, so I converted some ideas into a simple Mandela rather than as lines of text. It helped me understand them better and remember them much better. Persistence is good, but see where you can more efficiently put that energy.

I can help. Live in Los Angeles i like the K selected

Neeeel I would like to hear your response to my ideas. I don't claim to put anything immoral above or below anything else. It would seem there are white lies which so long as they aren't habit forming, would create a minimum of damage to others and society. Peers flicking ears or punching shoulders so long as not done incessantly seems to cause minimal harm. As to how to relatively weigh indoctrination or inprisonment... I couldn't care less, they are both a great evil and both horrible things. It doesn't matter how easy it is to defend, a sincere attempt at either is vastly immoral. The ability to purchase a gun for self defense does not make murder less evil.

Why is violence immoral? It is immoral because you have rights no another's body. Why don't you have those rights? Because they have exclusive rights over their body. Their mind is who they are, and crimes against their body is secondary to crimes against their mind. Lies are worse than violence, because these are crimes against their mind.

The purpose of lying is to try to insert false information into another person's outlook. Why do we honor the property of others? It is because every individual deserves freedom. Non-violence is one aspect of that freedom. Much like you can take a man and tie him with iron chains, so can one wrap another in falsehood to the extent that he does nothing but your will and that is more evil than chains. Of course everyone needs to secure their own freedom to the best of their ability. To that goal, in the knowledge that not all people are moral, one must defend themselves to the best of their ability. A gun to protect their bodies and skepticism to protect their minds. But that doesn't make lies moral. Obviously white lies have little impact and only cause minor increases in the amorality of society, slight increases in violence and therefore are far less immoral.

Erwin, would you say that it helped even if the confrontation yielded no change in the parent's behavior? What if the parent took out more abuse in the future because someone stood up for you the last time? I am all for doing the hard things if it will yield a positive result. I will say that right now I am unsure that these types of confrontations will yield a real change in the parent's behavior.

As to whether lying can be moral. how is lying different than theft? getting off topic, but ok with it although you have a responsibility to verify information, because a speaker can be misinformed and they are not responsible for your behavior based on their speech...

Combination of key influential players who suppress important news. The short memory of people: I watched Bob Beckel on The Five (on Fox) admit every time that Leftist policies have not only failed but done so spectacularly and destructively, but he comes back the next day to fight for those same policies.

Yeah, my biggest problem is dedicating the time for this. And also I expect to be demonetized the moment I go viral (if that happens) so I really can't afford to take much time off to make it look good.

I was listening to Prager last week, naturally looking forward to the Male/Female Hour and it occurred to me that there wasn't such a heading here. what say you?

Yes CO2 absorbs sunlight that reflects off the planet. This warms the atmosphere. However what percentage of the reflected light was the CO2 absorbing when the atmosphere was 280ppm? 1%? 13%? 87%? It makes a difference. Great source: http://clivebest.com/blog/?p=1169

Are you inviting others to murder you and occupy your land? If it is immoral for a person, it is immoral for a society.

As to energy creation or destruction... The energy in your head should remain just fine in a dead body. A different theory on the destruction of information, may be of more use to an afterlife statement. And while a theory denying the destruction of information exists, it is far less established or accepted. No proof of no afterlife exists, but there is no scientific basis for it either. When analyzing the existing scientific data, a theory of perma-death better fits the data than a theory of angels, God, afterlife, etc.

I think this is more Epistomology than Math. Read a book on Epi or better yet, audit a course in local university.

I don't think so. We can invent a new religion and keep it as similar as possible. You can sell it to Arabs, southeast Asians and jailbirds. But you would have to get rid of the pedophiliac savage. I guess you could keep his love of trees, but even that shouldn't be attributed, other nicer people love trees. I suppose it could keep the bar to alcohol, and it can be sold to alcoholics too.

I'm okay with sex referring to scientific chromosomal sex. Gender either means the same thing or it doesn't mean anything at all. There does seem to be a minority subset of boys and girls who were so thoroughly abused, they no longer feel comfortable in their own skin. I feel horribly bad for them. Some of them suffer from a mental disorder called gender dysphoria. Note: Their suicide rate does not decline after incredibly invasive chemical and surgical interventions. They deserve our best care in therapy, perhaps even antidepressants and sympathy from fellow humans. Not to be spoiled, patronized, disfigured, sterilized or to have their confusion entrenched by a form of gaslighting.

That's true. But the rapidity that horse shoeing blacksmiths moved to creating wheels for the auto industry indicates that those same skills can transfer to another job that requires the same set of skills. We lost untold thousands of typist jobs in a short period, they went elsewhere in the job market. How many CPA jobs are dependent on the wasteful complexity of US tax code? Let's say robot janitors replace janitors overnight? Some will be robot janitor technicians. Some may go to landscape. Some may be absorbed by a more complex job where their cleaning skills are needed but can't be done by robot...

It can only exist in a welfare state.

Again, both seem pure privacy oriented. A disguise is not a lie. He doesn't owe anyone candid information as to his name or even his face. He isn't dressed up like a senior citizen taking advantage of benefits he doesn't deserve. He isn't dressed up to look like a particular other person, which may be a lie if he can trick people into thinking he is someone else. And neither is a PO Box. I'm not sure why you gave them a PO Box. But that isn't your address. My friend has a PO Box near his work and he checks it during lunch hour.

I think the most common, bad children of "good" parents, are spoiled. Their parents failed to set enough boundaries.

Firstly, tangents are totally okay with me just didn't want your comment to be conflated with a direct response on the thread, just pointed it out. Completely agree to save a life, lie your ... off. I also don't think it will happen in 99.999999% of anyone's life. S1988 can you think of an example where lying is needed for privacy. I think no response is so much more effective. Lies can trip you up anyway, then privacy isn't kept anyway.

I would say anger, sadness and other emotions. An intelligent person would just learn how to be a good parent, maybe even wait into their twenties.
