So the Catholic Church is a Christian cult is a Judaic cult.
And Polytheism is about as cultish as it gets.

It's an interesting evolutionary development for sure.

@Best.Korea
Quite true.
It's the same with veganism, which is just a developed state of mind relative to a concept that assumes killing is somehow wrong.
Completely overlooking the fact that killing is essential for survival.
Eating a plate of locusts is not different to eating a plate of beans. Chew, swallow, digest and defecate.

Should certainly be an age limit of 18+.
Not that 18 year olds have mastered how to control how they react to socio-psychological input and internal hormone surges.
For the most part kids are taught gender nonsense these days, so they could just as easily be retaught common sense.
Or perhaps it would be more sensible not to teach them nonsense in the first place.
But that would mean addressing the problems that global social media creates, and I think that we have already handed over control to social media.
Nope, we're witnessing material evolution and it's affects upon the organic primate that is homo-sapiens.

Well, presumably the 5th amendment was only implemented once.
So not really a tradition as such.

Anything we don't have direct evidence of, is false.
Until proven otherwise.
We can postulate intellectual hypotheses.
And we can either criticise or congratulate dissent with hindsight.

@bmdrocks21
Other peoples traditions are not necessarily your traditions, and vice versa.
For example, for some abortion is a tradition and for others it is not.
Also leaking is also a tradition.
A tradition can be anything that becomes a reasonably commonplace occurrence.
Or just something that an individual does habitually.
Zedvictor4, traditionally does sudoku puzzles when sitting on the toilet.
When to start the tradition clock?

1. The endocrine messenger system is a tad more complex than that. Especially in regard to physiological development and associated stresses.
2. Yep, I would largely agree with your second point. Sort of a common sense approach to consciously acquired stress. Overthinking the overthought as it were.

Well, none of the three posts above actually amounted to much of an argument.

What is the government.
Government protects you from anarchy.
Get rid of one government and from the anarchic chaos another government will appear.
And your gun will protect you, only if you get your shot in first. And the other guy thinks exactly the same gunslinger.
American institutionalised paranoia relative to gun ownership is an interesting data transfer trait for sure.

Most of you is just an independent coalesced blob of organic matter.
With a quite amazing blob of electro-chemically charged matter inside your head.
Finding yourself is just about how this onboard organic computer processes data.

There are traumas and issues, and then there are traumas and issues.
There's deeply rooted psychological stuff.
Kids and young adults and all their sexual angst.
And brief moments of disappointment when things don't go according to planned.

@RationalMadman
True.
There is always a conflict of interests between body and mind.
And for sure, some people are more predisposed to a problematic mind.
Though I was referring more to the trauma and issues common amongst younger people.
Created:

@RationalMadman
Traumas and issues are largely based upon the endocrine system and innate data signalling where we lack conscious control.
Whereby we attempt to consciously override or ignore, subconscious messaging.
Easier to manage as one ages.

As I stated, it's easy to supplement ones food requirements. I also have fruit trees, grow vegetables and harvest wild stuff.
I found that it was actually cheaper and easier to buy eggs.
I have no desire to try and be totally self-sufficient. Far to time consuming and labour intensive, and I have other things that I enjoy doing.
And I will pass on the insects for now.
Best of luck with your growing ventures.
Created:

@Best.Korea
Growing a few supplementary foods is relatively easy and not too time consuming.
To be self sufficient requires total dedication, with little time for anything else other than essential day to day stuff.
To become self sufficient and retain a comfortable existence in a modern consumer society also requires a whole lot of financial investment and maintenance.
So, growing a few supplementary foodstuffs is what millions of people already do.
And becoming totally self sufficient is what a handful of financially secure people might have a go at.
Hunter gathering I suppose, though to relinquish all social and financial support would mean a hard short existence.

To be honest, who would employ people with serious psychological problems.
They would always be throwing a sicky.
Not that throwing a sicky isn't already an established part of (British)work culture.
Perhaps the U.S. is different.

@Deb-8-a-bull
I would suggest, that for some reason or not.
Running parallel with the process of universal decline and innate material decay, is the process of material evolution. Whereby the processes of material function are harnessed and developed.
We are a part of this.
I refer to this as the GOD principle.
But not to be confused with the floaty about bloke of Middle Eastern folk tales.

@Intelligence_06
Yep. That's how I look at it.
Ideology is simply ideology, and is harmless for as long as it remains ideological.
How ideology manifests as action within society is its measure. And extreme left is as oppressive as extreme right, as recent history as shown.

Chemicals is as chemicals does.
And P is no more or less the expression of socially repressed procreational necessity.
Same as all the other sexual bullshit that human society creates.
