I think your point is that,
You value positive interactions on this site and views that 'you like,
Above freedom.
But I might be mistaken about that,
So, worth me asking some questions.
Assuming that my view of your point is true though,
It doesn't mean that 'I value positive interactions on this site and views that 'I like,
Above freedom.
. .
Or rather, that I see 'freedom, 'as a positive interaction, a value that I like.
. . .
I 'like, being able to consider other peoples views,
Like being able to amend my own, rather than 'assume I am correct.
I like being able to 'speak my views,
Like being able to advocate for what I consider right.

Ah, I did see that post,
But forgot about it,
As the thread looked to be going in more in a disagreement between people, than explanations by people of their views,
I passed it up a bit,

That is a bit vague for me,
. . .
Well, you mention the Scott Adams topic,
As well as racism and transphobia.
Why do you draw the line there?
Should people not have freedom of association and disassociation?
Be able to advocate for their tribe?
For their moral and ethical values?
. . .
Myself I value freedom a fair bit,
Yet am willing to limit it from violence,

I dunno,
Might have been some updates about what they've been doing,
But if so I haven't been paying attention, didn't see them.
Doesn't mean they're 'not doing anything,
And understandable if life get's in the way of doing more.
But, . . .
People 'do appreciate work more,
If they're 'aware of it,
And one can't always count on others to know what one has done,
Why it's better 'sometimes to be obvious, talkative about what one has done.

And yet,
I think people are more likely not to be courteous,
When they don't respect someone.
Though in this sense, respect becomes a bit warped in meaning.
A prison guard might not respect a murderer as a human being,
Might ignore courtesy guard is expected to give to a person,
Thinking the murderer 'unworthy,
'Yet,
Have a respect for the murderers strength,
Fear it, and make sure to have other prison guards about, when ignoring said courtesy.
. .
Or respect the murderers craziness, capability to shank them,
That even if they don't respect them as a person,
Respect of their potential to violence,
That they give the prisoner courtesy.
. .
Also are prison guards who would still think a murderer deserves courtesy, even being a murderer,
Thinking that doing less would demean themself, to not show courtesy to another human being,
Respecting their humanity, despite their crimes.

'Swords look more fun to me,

Also argument of freedom,
Which I 'might call a bit hypocritical of me,
Due to some of my stances arguing for communities being able to ban from their communities certain objects, actions, behaviors.
Still,
I hold that stance more often, towards times when certain items are 'already banned,
The community is in 100% agreement (Not even one dissenter),
New communities,
Or when the land/property is 'owned by whoever is doing the banning.

It's my view that religion has held many intelligent thoughtful people,
My view that much morality, philosophy, has 'come out of religion.
'Many ancient people, thoughtful, 'brilliant,
'Seems to me a mistake to think of ancient people as 'pure ignorant thoughtless.
History is a testament to their works, inventions, continual progress.
Shoulders of giants, 'maybe.
It's hard for me to determine.

But the Bible for example,
Contains 'much wisdom, thought, consideration of the past, theory and argument.

My opinions on the video,
Minus some controversial thoughts.
The man encourages respecting other people's opinions by allowing them freedom.
Woman says take away people's freedoms so the behave the way she says they ought.
. . .
Respect and courtesyare vague words.
, ,
Respect is the 'feelings one has towards another,
But that respect can be 'shown in action,
'Action respect, is often demanded by laws.
Courtesy seems to me more purely action,
But like Action Respect, is often demanded by laws.
. . .But courtesy 'softer than respect maybe, less expected,
Hm, courtesy, consideration?
When I say demanded,
I mean coercion,
Boss demands you say Sir for example,
But people can have odd ideas of 'what Action Respects are,
Odd behaviors, actions, customs pop up.
. . .
The man encourages Action Respect to Freedom,
As he argues it will end in best outcome,
Issues will become 'addressed, considered, rather than 'pushed into being without asking whether they are good or bad,
Whether is or that way is a good or bad way to implement them.
And he likes freedom I suppose.
The Woman encourages Forced Action Respect,
As she argues the end will justify the means,
Focused on the end that she wants,
And she likes her tribe.

@Best.Korea
I'm of the view that questions 'can make claims.
There are many translations of the Bible,
Many languages of the Bible,
Even in a conversation between two people in person of the same language and social upbringing,
They make 'interpretations of each others statements,
Look and say to themself, what the other person was meaning.
Parables are explained 'most of all,
By ourselves.
I have stated my view of what the Bible says.
. . .
The metaphor of Jerusalem as a young woman,
By 'context,
Shows what 'proper action towards a woman is,
Implies what 'improper action towards a child is.

Rather than assumption, I would say viewpoint.
The obvious route paved,
Is don't have sex with children.
This is the implication I see.
The Bible doesn't 'need to use exact English as I use it.
Jesus spoke in parables,
Parables need be parsed,
This need not mean Jesus was not making philosophical statements.
The Bible does not explicitly cite punishment for everything it discourages,
It is enough to discourage it,
To call to human sanity, empathy,
The negative effects of child molestation obvious enough.

"You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness."
Clear enough to me, description of sex,
Clear enough that sex can be preformed upon any object,
So the 'act is not what is meant.
Clear enough to me that even a babe can love it's parents,
So it is not the 'experience of feeling love.
It is the 'proper time,
Of which is understood,
Is spoke.
Formed is formed,
Not forming.

A claim is often implicit in a question.
Often a question exists, that the questioned comes to the 'claim, themself, through their thought process, following an obvious route, paved by the question.
"would you wait for them to grow up?"
Implies that it is wrong at 'some point in human development.
You did not ask at what age, one is a child,
You asked "Where in the Bible does it say that sex with a child is wrong?",
I say the Bible says it clear enough in the passage I cited.
Not expected 'does mean wrong.
Stating that proper behavior is X,
Implies that not following X is wrong.
It is enough in our lives to know it is wrong,
Enough that the Bible mentions it,
Historical Social commentary of it's time,
That we can see some other people knew it as wrong as well.
Laws vary,
Some the Bible states itself,
Other's, we make ourselves,
With the Bible as part of our understanding and foundation.

Then Naomi’s husband Elimelech died, and she was left with her two sons, 4who took Moabite women as their wives, one named Orpah and the other named Ruth.
And after they had lived in Moab about ten years, 5both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.
Ruth’s Loyalty to Naomi
6When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab. 7Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah.
8Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you to your mother’s home. May the LORD show you loving devotion,a as you have shown to your dead and to me. 9May the LORD enable each of you to find rest in the home of your new husband.”
And she kissed them as they wept aloud 10and said, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
11But Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb to become your husbands? 12Return home, my daughters. Go on, for I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me to have a husband tonight and to bear sons, 13would you wait for them to grow up? Would you refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”
And after they had lived in Moab about ten years, 5both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.

Though it 'might be my memory is wrong, still that's what I remember their profile stating.
While the code of conduct 'does say, you can't threaten or promote various actions,

Dreams,
I don't actually 'remember any recent sleep dreams, though I 'do have them.
Daydreams, are more an enjoyable fantasy, like watching a movie you made yourself.
Ambitions though,
Well there's realistic, and there's grand intoxicating out of reach.
When I was a child, I played with rocks and army men a lot, dreamed about being a general, or a scientist, but both those faded pretty quick.
As a teenager, I dreamed about being a writer or a criminal,
But being a writer doesn't sound as fulfilling as 'reading books,
And being a criminal looks too risky, I've not the brains or brave to try that. . . Also morality, probably would feel bad of many crimes.
I lazed around home a couple years after High School,
Joined the Navy for five years after that, saved up a large chunk of money,
Lazed around home a couple years after that, though arguably helped my Mom move and buy a house, arguably stuck around a period to help try to get my 2nd brother clean, but he's off the wagon, unlikely to stay clean anyhow, was just staying to get his teeth fixed, but couldn't even manage that. . . But he's not going to be sane again until he goes to prison again, I would bet.
I like the sun, fresh air, books, and games,
I have a job I hate, stocking shelves in a grocery, that in another 6 months perhaps I'll try another job I hate.
Oh sure I could go to college (G.I. Bill) But I don't much care, my Dad went to college, still hated his various jobs in life.
Not to say there's no good jobs, or that college and a slight better job wouldn't be smart of me, but it's raining here and there, just a 'tiny bit less 'there, I don't care to move much.
I never dated in school,
Did and 'do like girls,
But I'm not interested in a relationship, or getting together with anyone, don't want kids.
No,
My ambitions are of the lower sort, poetically speaking,

Still, I love my parents, have their love, respect,
Love my sister, my brothers,
Have their love and respect,
Have an amount of comfort in life.
Have a close friend in life, I still talk to on a regular basis,
Various friends I know less well online, yet talk to a fair bit.
I've hobbies that fill my time, doodles in notebooks, game ideas, books ideas,
But I don't expect I'll will them anywhere.

I'd argue that such individuals could be reached out to by projects/groups/help,

Though if the social outcasts are not causing trouble,

For a 'purely capitalist society to fund the help group.

It's not unusual for capitalist societies, to not be 'purely capitalist.

There also are the 'options available,

There are many reasons individuals might be rejected,

In the case of the mentally ill or down on their luck,
There is also the added moral pressure of you're supposed to help other people,
(Present in 'some capitalist societies, though perhaps not in the concept of capitalism itself)

The capitalist society might be convinced to invest into projects/help, to mitigate the outcast problem in a humane fashion.

Hm, I say I could last years,
But that's probably me overestimating myself and underestimating the situation.
@Thought #2 Are people nice, or are they just pushovers?
People vary.
Is there a difference?
Sometimes, nice doesn't have to mean pliant.
And then, if a person is nice, is it a willful individual action, or something coerced by society/God/morality?
People vary,
If coerced by society assumes Society/God/Morality expects niceness,
Some societies expect meanness, yet nice people can still exist in them.
But I imagine there is 'some cause in or out of the person that they 'Choose/Are caused into niceness.

Thought #5 How old is too old for cartoons (Scooby Doo, in particular)?
In public, I dunno, maybe High School? Middle School? I don't know what other kids liked.
In private, unafraid of public opinion, or having friends who share hobbies, The Grave.
I still enjoy clips of it on YouTube, if I happen across it, or be in such a mood.
Thought #6 If you lose your ability to accurately trust your memories, what do you do?
Depends on context,
If drugs, maybe time to get help,
If unknown medical, maybe time to get help,
If Alzheimer's or Dementia, depends on individual wants,
If Other, keep records maybe, photos, journal.
Thought #7 Why do I think I'd survive the zombie apocalypse with virtually no survival skills?
Thought about what you'd do maybe.
Yearning for excitement, decreases danger assessment, maybe.
In your psychology, maybe you know/suspect you'd handle situation better than others.
Thought #8 What are some skills that you should learn? Maybe valuable in the job market, or for personal enrichment?
I should learn how to code and program, then try to make money off making something.
Thought #9 If you travel back in time, what are you going to do to be successful, in whatever capacity you imagine, in whatever time you imagine?
The time before so many cameras everywhere,
Either crime or just sitting around as a guard of someplace unimportant.

Why an aging population is bad,
Isn't exactly clear to me.
Is it because retired people often in countries receive tax money from the government?
. .
I ask that, as you mention young people as working for the masses of old,
But if there's less workers,
Wouldn't they be paid more?
. . .
Even if there isn't a young man to every bedpan,
Bedpan sounds a bit at the 'very end of life,
If old people stay active, they don't need 'so much care,
Old people can still take care of each other,
Still hold jobs.

Personally I think a country is best off not accepting immigrants as a 'general policy.

I wonder if just redrawing roughly the same picture, a thousand times, would make it look animated?

I wonder how many humans at keyboards it takes to write something profitable,
I suppose if the people were randomly selected,
Maybe a 'lot.
If one randomly selects people who are literate or write a 'bit,
Not 'as many,
But still a fair amount, I would think.
Course what 'is profitable, varies on market,
Depends what people are about,
Time, location, culture changes.

Do you mean evil in war?
Or evil in ruling?
If in war,
Well I suppose the Mongols 'were pretty violent,
I vaguely remember something about spreading the plague in sieges,
And killing a lot of people if a place didn't surrender? (Maybe)
. . .
But war's pretty viscous in general, maybe.
. . .
Ruling?
I don't know,
Marco Polo wrote something or other about him.
. . .
I don't really recall reading up much on Genghis Khan,
Maybe I'll read of him some.
Aggressive fellow in those Sid Meier Civilization games though.

Male and Female restrooms are often put next to each other,
Really just a wall dividing the two,
Just add another wall,
Then people can choose male, female, or unisex.

Well, men 'or women,
Need each other to reproduce,
In History/Mythology
. .
Though I suppose since there is mythology involved, either men or women could have just sprung out of the ground.
Still, back on the topic,
Matriarchal societies have and do exist.
I 'do think men and women have different tendencies of body and mind,
Though I couldn't say how much of the mind is nature/nurture,
I'm sure either sex could survive in communities 'just of their own.
. .
But, as we 'seem to be different in a number of ways, we might be able to build a 'better communities together,
Both filling niches in society according to our abilities,
'Both filling 'certain niches 'better on average than the other sex would.

If the slaver is 'getting something from the arrangement. . .
Whether it be a human, their sense of duty fulfilled,
Or a robot, their function fulfilled,
I'd argue the forced situation is the slavery,
Though from that one could also argue slavery exists in existence,
Not to mention all the governments and social interactions, gives and takes,
Hm,
But that's a recent problem for me, 'defining 'when, coercion, slavery,
. . .
Hm,
'Instead, easy enough to say slavery, coercion 'exists,
But that it be one of our values to 'lessen it, when the pain of it reaches too much,
Too much being a vague point,
Like pain is a vague point,
Different people, different numbers from 0-10 given.

I disagree,
Due to highly valuing (Apparent) freedom,
Why do you consider it ideal?

If you record an event, in writing, video, audio, so on.
Then are asked to 'remember that event,
Then you examine your recording,
Can you be said to have 'remembered the event?
Or has a 'new event been created?
'Possible the recording 'also sparked one's memory,
(Though memory can be hazy distortion)
But also possible memory has been forgotten,
And instead new memory of examining the recording, has been created.
