Surveillance is okay unless people hate them. A good amount of surveillance helps people from thieves and criminals.

This has resulted in useless jobs and unnecessary components of jobs being common place and also to a necessary amount of unemployed individuals.
It is meant to lower unemployment rates. Roosevelt built dams because the country needs something to do and the people need jobs.
Have a fun day having no job to do.
The wealthy isn’t inherently evil, and they only are if they are exploiting the poor, not fostering them. A firm that make jobs because of high unemployment rates and make people work for them and give them fair wages while themselves being wealthy is not bad.

but if I offer you five dollars to take a bite of a sandwich you will probably think "well what's wrong with the sandwich?"
And when you are offered 456 billion Korean won for being good at children’s games, you get thrilled to participate.

Animal crossing is fun too, but for other reasons.
You get to be a laborer, a planner, a merchant, etc, and feel good in working. in City Skylines and games like that, you just be a god, plan cities and let the ppl sort everything out.
Then again, Universe Sandbox is even more fun.

No. Math is logically objective. A number is equal to itself no matter what earth you are on. Math can be used to record the number of cakes on the table, and the number of cakes on the table is the one that may change, not math itself.

You could solve any problem by eliminating the problems' means of spreading, but we probably don't want that when we think in a humanitarian way.

Quantum mechanics are based on empirical experiences. Math is not. However, if you put a cake and another on a table, you can't really disprove that there isn't 0 cakes on the table when you are not observing it by any means.

Well, you could cure racism by killing whoever protests with the police force, but that wouldn't be what you want.

Will you be willing to tell us, for example, what kind of classical pieces you listen to, or perhaps even starting a new thread?

Well, the majority of people I know who enjoys classical music don't resort to such primitive insults.

So, what exactly do we define as "straight line"?
If we have learned derivatives in High School, we would know that every point on a curve of a 2d plane would have a tangent line, and if we have learned physics in HS we would know that the direction an object is going at a moment is along the tangent line of the point of the curve(and if it is straight, along the entire line). So, we are technically always going straight forward, even if those lines are infinitesimal in length.

The second type of Jew is at least acknowledging that Jews do have disproportionate success.
Dunno about that, but people who always trust whatever the truth is is always respectable.

I understand I have researched Dadaism for school essay 5 minutes before this post, but still. If it is art it is art. Bad art and Evil art are not the same. The worst evil art can do is to stare you into the soul and make you offended by their appearance. That is at most what they are.

I came back to say no. Confederate statues looks good on its own, just like most of us can't paint like Hitler. Hitler was an evil dictator, but that does not make his art worse than other people who dropped out of art college. Confederate monuments celebrate people that fought for an outdated cause, but that does not make their statues worse than Union generals standing in similar places.
Art does not represent its artist or whatever it is trying to portray. If it looks good it is good. An artist, however, can have their art as a part of them. That is why we also consider Hitler a decent painter, even if we also consider him as a genocidal racist.
Confederate monuments look not worse than other statues, as a result, there is no clear reason why they should be toppled. Although, if everyone on the streets say monuments about bad people is not art, then I suppose removal is the thing to do. For my personal opinion, for the effort and quality of the statues of most of them, I would say they are decent enough to be kept especially since similar ones are intact.

I have put the person known as Ramshutu on the grill for a few months and roasted him to the point that he looks like this, that is the reason he was inactive for like a year. Now I have used the almighty resurrection stone to reborn a new Ramshutu inheriting previous memories from the ashes, that is why he is back to active posting.
(This is a joke, no intentions of harming Ramshutu exists in this post, only a joke. The pun regarding "roast" is intended.)

Then are you okay with extreme parents teaching the Holocaust is not real or is not a sinful act or that Women are bound to their husbands? Because these opinions are not right and children deserve a right to know the truth. If we can teach about slavery, suffrage and the Holocaust, why not the LGBTQ?

Achievement Unlocked: How Did We Get Here?

LGBTQ+ people exist. They have existed in history(In fact, some Greek/Roman Emperors are gay). To deliberately not teach about them would be technically denying history. Then, sex education is literally biology, well, at most an extension of biology, branching out towards maybe even sociology. I see no reason to not teach about literally how the part of one's body works, as well as how it should be used.

I believe that I am the only subject that objectively exists. My conscious determines everything I think I can change while my subconsciousness determines everything that is thought to be unchangeable. In other words, I am the world, I am God.
Don't bring out the "But that is blasphemy!" no matter what. I can just think as if your religion doesn't exist.

Have you not noticed that hardly anyone reads these things? If you do, then I advise you to post all these to SciForums or something similar instead of the place that is more obsessed with semantics, politics and religious law.

If we are "perfected", what is left for us to do?
Exactly. There isn't anything. I think the better choice is just to stay what we are, be non-perfect, feel the world and work towards goals.

Observation 1: Biden becomes president
Observation 2: The Olympics drops in quality compared to the last one after Biden becomes president
Conclusion: Biden is the cause of the Olympics being bad
Observation 1: I drank water at 10:00 AM today
Observation 2: At 10:00 exactly there was a fire drill at my school
Conclusion: Me drinking water is related to the fire drill happening
IDK about you, but I don't see a causal relationship in any of the 3 examples presented in this thread.

@MonkeyKing
When one considers a religious law holy, it means they agree with it(subjectively) and not that it is correct(objectively). Essentially, it comes down to my family education not involved in any organized religion, as well as me being exposed to subjective aspects of philosophy early enough to not be brainwashed by anything except when I REALLY believe in it.
