I think spirituality or religion is a powerful way to ensure these values in an intangible, socially cohesive concept, but they come from the society itself

My biggest complaint with "civic morality" is it's subjective nature.

Yes its subjective

That's why most societies have different ones

@Bjorn - MD I am a passive Luddite, patiently waiting for the inevitable 🙏

What is good for the people will vary quite a bit from person to person

Sure

I prefer an objective morality.

And there will be times when the people are wrong

Well objective is rather debatable isn't it 😉

And then of course I'm biased by my view of the truth of the world.

We haven't yet mentioned that gene editing would have a huge barrier to entry 💰 💰 💰

Yeah that's fine, id argue your view is a pretty important one and has served our people well

We Europeans are molded by Europe. Europe gave us intellect and ambition. Gene editing is simply an extension of Europe’s nature, not contrary to it.

Our levantine merchant friends will likely use editing to obscure or hide their characteristic features.

y'all saw this, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=lAe8mxvV1fU

Heidegger thought that the nature of technology isn’t technological at all and I agree.

Jews would use this tech to rid themselves of their many diseases, becoming more of an eternal pest than they could ever be without it.

lol @Goose -when you forget your homework assignment

Gray Ayy lmaos are gene edited Soy Boy bugmen from the future. Change my mind.

Teeechnically, kids can't wear hats in school, 'cuz (non-White) gangs.

@Kingfish I find it interesting just how much world views color interpretations of "objective" facts

I remember a lesson I learned from an older teacher when I was young:

Clint Eastwood has a new racist, anti-Mestizo movie coming out, rt

Never argue from their foundation always keep you feet planted firmly on yours

Rt

When arguing identity if I try to persuade from their perspective I've already lost

gene editing is here to stay. Solar flair or not. Gov regulation or not. Change my mind.

I always try to draw them to my foundation

It's a principle I apply quite widely

@MrBland - VA well that's good I suppose. I think arguing ideintity or something tangible is easier because you're still working on the same basis

That's the second pseudo-right-wing film Cooper's done with Eastwood. I wonder if he's low-key somewhat our guy, like VInce Vaughn...

@missliterallywho The Mule?

Arguing the intangible like faith or morals is impossible from two different points of belief tho

@VinceChaos yeah, I just saw the preview on Instagram. Watched without sound though so idk if it's actually gonna be truly based and redpilled

Mmm it's all the same principles. I avoid getting too argumentative in here, but the principles are the same whether you taking politics, science or religion.

Except politics and science are things that can be argued with facts and numbers

You can't calculate faith

@missliterallywho i didnt get that impression. he moves drugs ffs its not really trad

You can't disprove God with a calculator and vis versa

World views influence the interpretation of facts.
