It's asking about the political, not philosophical
Man I am so glad I changed the quote for my password. Shit was too long
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they will never sit in.
like "do you think being homosexual is natural" and then assume you want to ban gay marriage or something
Wait, do you think it's unnatural?
i dont really know, lets say i did, that would not mean that i would want to regulate what people do in their bedrooms
No, it doesn't necessarily
I think encouraging gay marriage sorta decreases gay marriage in the future. o:
I don't think that homosexuality contributes to the human race, no.
Think about it.
But it's definitely a signal that you're likely more conservative
Really think about it for a second.
ok so i can be non-politically conservative?
It depends on what you consider 'nature' to be.
because i have no interest in wielding politics from a conservative standpoint
I do not think homosexuality is 'working as intended'. The purpose of sexuality is reproduction.
In that sense, no. It's not natural.
What occurs outside of artificial modification. A computer isn't natural, a snail is
But in that same sense, there's alot about modern sexuality that isn't natural.
One can view homosexuality from the standpoint of inclusive fitness.
Having a gay brother would be an advantage.
Sometimes it's important for the larger group that not everyone is in the mating pool, just from sheer numbers
That too
Sure.
Ultimately, that's the conclusion I come to
Imagine being such a boring person that you make your sexuality the key component of your personality
It's unnatural, but it's not against nature.
so my point is theres no point factoring in my conservative views on a political compass if i don't care about enforcing conservatism politically
Fair
but the tests just assume that i do, and thats why the framing of the questions are stupid
And they might agree if you contacted them. I don't know that anyone has
They do have the questions later as qualifiers, and tiebreakers
The only arguments that are in favor of prevention of homosexuality are authoritarian in nature.
Unless theres a longer term genetic concern
Doesn't make it not authoritarian
What beeman said.
It doesn't matter what your authority is, be it science or god
It's still authoritarian
I still want a utilitarian to explain to me what is wrong with the society in Brave New World :(
