I knew. I was at one of the protests.

However, the law doesn't talk about genotype. It talks about gametes. Embryos don't produce gametes. The law does not specify a difference.

Trump's new sex definitions are impossible for anyone to meet. Everyone is legally nonbinary now. https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/trump-says-americans-are-all-intersex-not-female-b31f97ffd80d

Reality has always been crafted by the oppressor. It's an inherently oppressive concept. http://soulism.net/

Of course I haven't solved philosophy with objectively correct positions. There's no such thing as objectivity. I believe that the idea of objectivity is a harmful one. All truth is subjective, and subjective truth is measured by good done and self-consistency. I'm interested in exploring the potential good to be done by criticising tankies' inability to ethically reason without empathy.

Perhaps it would seem less fantastic if you redefined your axes. Materalism is anti-science, and magic is a field of science.

They're very good at excuses, fallacies, and mental gymnastics. Those are reasoning too. Just not very advanced reasoning.

Takes a bow

It's been two months and she hasn't woken up gasping for breath since. It was a mind problem, so I fixed it in her mind. The imagination is the mind's development environment.

I thought we were talking about the voters. Just two days ago, you suggested we reconsider voting for the lesser evil.

I think we've exhausted this part of the conversation. We don't know what's going to happen next term, because it's in the future. We've both made good arguments. Whether democracy will continue to exist is uncertain.

I don't think the non-voters should have bet their entire country on a gamble like that.

I just got a message from Medicare inviting Me to register as an organ donor. I thought I already was. I remember ticking the organ donation box when I first applied for My drivers license.

If I'd have died in the last few years, My organs wouldn't have saved any lives. Who knows how many other people want to donate but aren't registered? I think Australia should have an opt-out system instead of an opt-in system, so that people don't need to make an effort in order to do the right thing. Doing the right thing should be easy.

 

While I am not personally an atheist, this was the only religion-centered community I could find to post this article, and surely we polytheists and atheists can find a united purpose in condemning monotheistic bias.
