I'm severely opposed to the idea of transgenderism as it exists in modern day
important *as it exists*
There's also a simple reason as to why centrists are typically right more often
It's statistics
Depends on the time frame
When choosing between two opposite extremes, they're both likely incorrect
A centrist of 1950 would be different from a centrist of 2019
True
My point is
Ford is the complete opposite of a progressive
Yeah but that’s why I like him
(or at least he seems to be)
I bet you that Ford in the 1500's would be considered degenerate by a ton of people
@ETBrooD He might even be considered--dare I say--a SODOMITE?
Not degenerate, just a heretical pagan
Not even so unlikely tbh
That's a fallacy of moral relativism
I'm not relativizing anything
I'm saying that's what people would think
The point being that you may not be aware of where you actually stand on the spectrum
You are gauging on the assumption that values are relative to the time frame they are made in, I'm gauging on perennial values which stay constant throughout time
I'll let you in on a little secret on "values consistent through time"
They weren't even consistent within their own countries
@ETBrooD They're not always possible?
Not really, they have been consistent for the vast majority of people throughout history
Nope

People couldn't even read or write back in the day
They weren't even considered worthy enough to be listened to
It is irrespective of literacy
Then my point flew right over your head. Let me explain.
Traditionalism is natural
Yeah but ford, understand that human genetics have changed throughout time
Most people were illiterate, so they couldn't pass down their views and values through time
That's false
The alt hype did the video about the European revolution
Dude
Which if true would clearly show that things change over time
People could express their values, but they couldn't tell future generations what they thought
I'm responding to the claim that illiterate people didn't pass down their beliefs @snake
