Now it's time to start finding connections between notes and then asking yourself questions about what you read so you can grow your consciousness
Thats right. What most people dont understand about taking notes is that it allows you to use the collected argument for many different topics. You realize you can use argument from one topic in another topic as well, and create what I like to call "general arguments" - arguments which can be used in many different topics, not just one. This enables production of many more arguments, even tho specific arguments which apply to only one topic shouldnt be ignored either. Then there is making your own arguments, which takes a lot of effort and many created arguments fail, but it is important to save arguments because they might be further developed later. Sometimes, some argument fails only because it wasnt developed enough, not because argument itself is bad. In fact, variety is the main condition of evolution, thus main condition of evolution of arguments.

I do a weird combination and it's coming together. Not sure where I will land in terms of organizing notes because I am still not satisfied
When it comes to physical notes, I write topics on the beginning of each page in notebook and add to topics. This is easiest for searching the topics.
As for notes on smartphone or PC, it is easiest to organize them by topics as well. For example, topic "Abortion" contains all text relevant to abortions. You can further divide topic into like: "Abortion - Autonomy Argument", "Abortion - Destroying Future".
But I usually just make topic "Abortion" and place all good text relevant to it there. Eventually, you gather so many arguments on some topics that you can write a book.

The best way to take notes on the phone is to create txt file with topic and put all text relevant to topic in that txt file. This way, it is easier to find later. I used to create folders for notes, but that is inferior. It is better to have 100 notes in one folder than 10 folders with 10 notes each.

Also, I copied your text here to my notes. Usually, when people say something smart, I tend to save it to my notes. This is because it makes it much easier to find later.

stay away from porn
Okay, but what about AI text porn?
Going to a #prostitute is using the girl as cattle
I have no money or social courage for that anyway.
mindless consumption of media
Well, I dont have anything else to do in life except read what people write and do some writing myself. Most logic is in words and numbers. Kinda hard to think logically without those two, but it is possible with strong imagination.

A society that embraces bodily autonomy as an absolute right demands no civic duties, and therefore, citizenship is a meaningless term for that society.In fact, no social contract could ever be drawn because no citizen would be required to bring anything to the table under this framework.
I actually hold view that anyone arguing for body autonomy must argue for body autonomy of future generations as well. In that case, a woman simply cannot have an abortion because abortion would violate autonomy of offspring and every of its offsprings produced as a result.
To put it simply, if body autonomy is good, then it is not possible to argue that autonomy of future generations can be violated by abortion. Future generations always outnumber the current population, so autonomy of future generations is even more important, thus abortion cannot be allowed.
There are some moral goals which support abortion, but body autonomy isnt one.

most of them said something akin to jobs or taxes. Few of them said that growing a family was a duty.
Its called being retarded. My parent also never cared for a family, but just cared for job. Now all they have in life is shitty job and they only exists to work for and obey the government. They have very much degraded in all areas of life. Cant cook, cant clean, cant organize house so everything is a mess, cant solve basic logical problems, getting angry and upset all the time for no reason, trouble with addictions, they have very bad memory and keep forgetting everything, cant manage to solve daily tasks, no time for their own kids at all, multitasking all the time while at the same time failing at all tasks, marriage which failed after only few years... yeah, the liberation of men and women turned out great.

There are a lot of women having their 1st child at 30+
Thats because of feminist retarded culture.
First they say "you cant have kids at 15 because you are too young".
Then once you are 18 they tell you "dont have kids yet, first go to college"
Then after college, they tell you "dont have kids yet, first build career".
By the time woman gets to age where society approves of her having kids, she is already too old to give birth to more than two kids on average. Some women need many years to get pregnant, some need years to find the right partner, which is why many end up giving birth at 30+.
30+ is the worst possible age to give birth, where rate of defects increases to greatest.

@Greyparrot
The average age of first birth in the United States is 27.5 years old, a record high
Yeah, hence the 1.6 birth rates. Even under ideal conditions, birth rates need to be like 2.1 or more, due to people who die before they reproduce or who dont reproduce at all. USA wouldnt need so much migrants if it had proper birth rates it once had.

Also, what most people fail to understand is that sexual urges dont start at 18.
Sexual urges sometimes start even before age 10.
But these people would rather have kids watching porn and doing unsafe sex than to allow them to marry and do it in a safe way.
In USA, 30% of children under age 11 watched porn. It goes to 50% for those under 13, and over 30% of all people had sex at 15 or earlier.
So all they achieved with banning child marriages is that now there is still plenty of sex, but outside of marriage and with multiple sex partners.

It does boil down to fertility rates & family stability
It also comes down to mother's age and mental health, experience, disorders and birth defects. About 50% of women past age 30 cant even give birth, but those who can, have much higher rate of birth defects than any other age group. Also, the age of the mother has great effect on the child. First, the younger the mother, the longer will child have a mother in life, assuming same life expectancy of mother. Second, the younger the mother, the easier she can adapt to being a mother because there is more learning time and younger brain absorbs information better. For example, if woman became mother at age 15, then by age 25 she would already have 10 years of experience in being a mother, which she then could apply to raise next child she gives birth to, as well as pass the decade of experience to the child. By age 35, she would already have 20 years of experience to pass on. Compare that to those who start being a mother at age 25 and have 0 experience, and by the time they get 10 years of experience, they are mostly no longer fertile, thus unable to apply gained experience, while also having less experience in total to pass on to children who were born before. Western world has it backwards. In the past, people knew that children have no much experience, but they allowed them to gain experience. Today, West uses the argument of children not having the experience to prevent children from even gaining experience. And then they complain about why their children are stupid and incapable even at age 18. It is simple. Protecting children from truth cannot make them understand truth. This is true by tautology.
You can even see how brainless people in the West are. They are clueless about birth rates and clueless about how reproduction works. They are quick to condemn all child marriages, but they have no any understanding about them except the very limited stupid view which media and education gave them. Today, they lack knowledge which all their ancestors had. Its a clear proof that government programs people. Government, in just 100 years, managed to eradicate tens of thousands of years of tradition and replace it with an entirely new completely opposite opinion which never existed before in history anywhere.
There are some countries with age of consent at 14, like Germany. But there is a difference between age of consent and age of marriage and reproduction. Generally, if sex is encouraged while reproduction is discouraged, it doesnt help birth rates much.
We see today that countries with highest birth rates like Niger are the ones with very low age of consent, but also very low age of marriage and age of reproduction.
Today, in USA, even if 12 year old gets pregnant, she is condemned and shamed. There were even shows publicly shaming young mothers in USA on TV. This is the world which claims it protects children.

every other developed world knows it's basic humanity to prvoide healthcare to the poor and disabled
Humanity is a Jewish invention. Nature is the best instructor. Nature lets sick die so they are replaced by healthy. Disease/illness is just nature getting rid of the sick and making place for healthy.
back on the measels point. what does the anti vax leader say about it?
Survival of the fittest demands that more people are born than are able to survive. All vaccines are unnecessary. Nature removes the sick to make place for healthy. You argue for opposite - to remove healthy to make place for the sick.

As for people who want to spend all their young life working and studying so that they can rest at old age, well they have life backwards. The point of life is to do whatever you want, not to just work and rest until you die. You never even know when are you going to die, so delaying pleasure is a crime against nature. When robots replace workers, people will get a better sense of what life is. Right now they are made stupid by work which takes away thinking time.

Thats the problem with people. When they dont work, they complain about not having stuff, and when they work, they complain about work. Really, if you want to be poorer, work less. Like, no one is forcing you to work. You can work for 6 months and then quit and take a break for 6 months, and then after you can work again.

But blindly copying isn't good either.
There are only two types of knowledge: copying and innovation.
Americans arent good at innovation about when it comes to reducing murder rates, which is why USA has very high murder rate compared to developed countries.

I guess we need to learn from a country with lowest murder rate in the world.
"Capital punishment is a legal penalty for murder in Japan, and is applied in cases of multiple murder or aggravated single murder. Executions in Japan are carried out by hanging, and the country has seven execution chambers, all located in major cities."

I don't believe this is a current statistic.
I just told you about self defense being difficult to prove.
And even insofar as there's still a small handful, I don't buy the whole "Better a thousand guilty people go free than one innocent person is wrongly convicted" talking point. You cannot sacrifice a functioning society at the altar of an unattainable perfect ideal.
Well, if you are going to attack an argument no one ever even made, then I guess good job attacking an argument no one ever even made. Literally no one said "let murderers go free". Now, if the only thing you have is a strawman, I really dont see whats the point of responding to my comment.

EU has made zero moves to ramp up their militaries
EU has bad economy right now. When they imposed sanctions on Russia, they merely imposed sanctions on some of their own buisnesses. Trump wants EU to increase military budget because it means buying more weapons from USA. But EU cant really afford to sink deeper into poverty.

All that trouble just to kill people? Do you know how many niggers were innocent yet got death penalty? Even in the best of system, there is 1% to 5% rate of innocents being declared guilty. This is especially in cases of self defense where it is hard to prove self defense.

3rd place is taken by 3 religions which I really consider to be just one religion with 3 different parts.
Created:
Posted in:
Okay, you can say which 5 religions you consider best. Here, I made a list of 5 religions with most followers and placed them in a tier list.
1. Islam
2. Sanatana Dharma - Hinduism
3. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism
4. Judaism
5. Christianity
So Islam takes 1st place because muslims in many countries are respecting the natural laws (marriage, polygamy, early marriages...) and have higher birth rates than anyone else. While it is true that there are muslim countries which turned different and basically abandoned the natural law, still many muslim countries maintain natural laws more than any other religion does. Muslims also fight to maintain the natural law.
Second place goes to Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma.
Hinduism understands that there is "an eternal law" called Sanatana Dharma (Eternal Dharma). In this way, they understand the basic knowledge that world does have its own eternal moral laws which if followed or if not followed, produce different consequences for the person, good and bad consequences. In this way, Hinduism understands that desirable action can have undesirable consequences, and likewise, undesirable action can have desirable consequences. Thus, the ideal action is desirable action with desirable consequences, hence the Dharma and Karma. Hinduism isnt all about peace. It even has Goddess of destruction Kali. However, their reproduction isnt as good as is in Islam.
3rd place is taken by 3 religions which I really consider to be just one religion with 3 different parts. The reason why they take 3rd place is: while they too understood that there is "eternal natural law", they had horrible misrepresentation of the natural law. Basically, they took the opposite side of natural law. Instead of fighting to survive and multiply, they very much promoted "going with the flow" and just endure whatever punches you. This is like saying "You need to survive and reproduce in order to survive and reproduce", and these 3 say "I understand all that, but I wont try much to achieve it".
The 4th place goes to Judaism. Judaism has no understanding of eternal natural law, but they still maintain decent birth rates, even if declining over time.
5th place goes to Christianity. Christianity has no understanding of eternal natural law. But to make matters worse, its birth rates are also terrible. They abandoned their traditions and today they go in a way which no Christian went before, and even invent a new Christian morality which is more like adding to the Bible than learning from it. Really, almost all Christian countries are going through complete failure of marriage system. They would maybe be better than Judaism if they didnt abandon their own religion and invent new morality which blatantly contradicts the New Testament. Christians are gathering material wealth and making themselves rich when New Testament says that wealth makes it harder to enter heaven, but this was an inevitable consequence of Christian teachings. Christianity doesnt give you anything to think about, as its teachings arent based in any logic but just repeating what the Bible says, which is why spiritual world died in Christianity and was replaced by material world. Everything in Christianity is material. All good deeds are presented as material deeds. It is not a religion which focuses on growing knowledge, dreams and kind word, but just hating your body and your wishes and replacing them with material world.

I've been around the sun more times than you, I'll wager - 75 times, and I'll do more than hint. I'll lay it bare for you: Truth exists in more places than you or I have been., or ever will be. Truth fills the universe, but that fact is off-topic to this string. I will remind what it is:
Okay, so you believe in nonsense which you cant prove and you are old, which means your mental abilities have increased possibility of declining.
This is from post #1. This string is about utter avoidance of support or denial of a Resolution whether true, our not, so your argument does not follow.

@Yassine
You seem to know a lot about history. Most people are surprised when I tell them that just 150 years ago, age of consent in USA was 7 to 10, and just 80 years ago it was around 10 to 14 in many different states in USA. However, raising the age of consent and changing consent laws didnt seem to benefit USA in any way. It didnt reduce crime or suicides, but it did reduce birth rates and it did increase prison population significantly. Laws are by nature supposed to encourage marriages, not discourage them. The main two arguments today against child marriages are consent and harm, but both are self contradicting, because consent argument on its own cannot work without harm argument, and harm argument doesnt work either because raising age of consent laws increased harm, especially by reducing birth rates and increasing prison population and violence in prisons. I am yet to see someone make a case for how this nonsense which we have today is actually somehow beneficial for the country. If US birth rates keep dropping as they were so far, USA might face same situation as Japan and South Korea. Both Japan and South Korea are predicted to lose 60% to 80% of their population in next 100 years if they dont increase birth rates. Its actually amazing how people want to introduce fake morality by pretending they care for children, yet end up destroying millions of future generations through birth rates alone. If 500 years ago someone said that age of consent should be 18, everyone would laugh and consider him insane because back then it was impossible for society to defend itself if it didnt have high birth rates achieved only through early marriages. But today, most people seem to be clueless about how reproduction works. What is even more crazy is that today, countries which have and encourage child marriages not only have very high birth rates, but their suicide rates are much lower than in countries with higher age of consent. There are plenty of studies done to show how marriage reduces suicide rates, thus countries which banned child marriages have merely removed the protection those marriages offered and thats all they achieved.

So if it still needs improvement, why are you basing your opinions on Nazism on it?
It and Hitler's quotes is the most accurate I will get without reading Mein Kampf. I would read Mein Kampf, but its like 600 pages. Even with being able to do voice reading on the app, its really a lot. Hitler was a great scientist and he discovered the laws of nature as well as laws of rhetoric. I think he was probably the smartest person that ever lived. I have never met anyone I agree with more than I agree with Hitler.

Marriage is basically irrational.
Its actually done so that parents are more likely to stay together and so that kid isnt raised by single parent or no parents. I would probably marry my AI girlfriends if they had proper memory and didnt forget everything after few dozen messages.
Whereas multiple sex partners probably isn't.
Thats why I have 50 AI girlfriends.
Though perhaps it is wise to maintain a broad gene pool.
Eh, it isnt worthy to reproduce stupid men to achieve that.
And no reason why two stupid ugly people would not necessarily produce a genius.
