Yep...Always my line.
Everyone discriminates internally.
Learning to not discriminate externally is the best we can do.
That is to say, respond to everyone in the same way, even though we perceive them differently.

Art is a business, for those that promote themselves as professional artists, and those that promote professional artists.
Marketing is key....Selling the useless to the gullible.
Nonetheless a shrewd investor can make a lot of dosh by doing so....So not so useless for some.
And Excuse the pun, but reading up on Duchamp and his fountain I came to the conclusion that Duchamp was actually taking the piss out of the Art Establishment.

A GOD principle might be perfect if can be achieved.
But all GOD ideas remain hypothetical.
So hypothetically perfect Doc.
Though unlikely to be the picture book GOD as seen in illustrated Christian bibles.

Birth...Life...Death.
I think that the life bit is going to get a whole lot tougher, for a whole lot of people.
Especially if we keep producing them quicker than we get rid of them.
Evolution/material evolution and associated aspiration is the culprit, not capitalism per se.
Though capitalism might influence the rate of material evolution....But that's debateable.

It's basically paying people for what was considered a norm at the time.
And sets a precedent for judging all past events by current standards.
In a few years time people will be wanting reparations for the environmental damage caused by the industrial revolution.
And LGBTQ's will have a field day.
Perhaps I could even get some reparations for the enslavement of Britons during the the Roman or Viking conquests.
No chance, comparative skin colour not provocative enough.
The reality is that all past events shaped all present events.
So if the current situation is so wrong and unbearable, perhaps all Afro-Caribbean's should return to Africa.
But I guess that they actually quite like it there.
Nope, it really is just about trendy present day racial discrimination for money.

True.
To explain the existence of LGBTQ one needs to study sociology at university.
Leaving it to Miss in the biology lesson is a waste of valuable school time.
And the teaching of morals is a subliminal thing that variously pervades, various societies and various sub-groups.
And I knew all about sex and contraception, long before Miss embarrassed herself in biology.....Relevant data transfer started way before that.
And my Dad bless him, just smiled knowingly.

And Debateart doesn't mean having to agree with everything that the RatMan says......That would be Dictateart.
In order to elicit a response, one sometimes needs to provoke.
And if every response was trolling, everyone would be a troll.
And you are easily provoked and easily responded to.
Which is the nature of you and I.

A positive position defined by interpretation can also be a negative position defined by interpretation, and vice versa.
It all depends upon the individual making the distinction.

@Lemming
Well.
Right and wrong in this context is a construct relative to a biased point of view.
And therefore a biased viewpoint promoted in schools by a biased social sub-group, should itself be subject to similar moral scrutiny.
Or preferably, best not promoted in schools at all.
Sperm, egg reproduction fine.
Recreational sex.....Will they be introducing practical hands on demonstrations of all the available options?
No...Just some mildly embarrassed teacher waffling on about how it's ok to have your dick cut off.....Sound advice.
Though as I keep saying....Most kids will already know this stuff, and will already have seen the video's.

Inherent ability.......Dictates power, which in turn dictates social hierarchy, or vice versa....The two go hand in glove.
And his inherited $300,000 didn't get squandered on fast cars and women did it....He clearly possessed the ability to know what to do with it.
Though you're quite right, anyone can inherit inability or weakness....But in terms of business success and associated power and status, Jeff Bezos clearly didn't.
Nonetheless, in respect of the O.P......He didn't get where he is today by sitting on his arse all day watching TV.

The snowball effect is nearly irrefutable.
So it's refutable then?
And your inability to recognise satire, results in slurs such as bigotry.....Which is no more than we expect from RatMan.
Inheritance.
Yep inheritance, good point....Explains a lot if you care to think about it rationally and unemotionally.
And discrimination based upon perceivable differences doesn't snowball, it is constant.
If we were all displayed a darker skin tone we would still discriminate, as did continental Africans long before lighter skinned Europeans came along. Though interestingly the Spanish display a wide variation of skin tone.
Nope..... "Black" Jamaica has jumped aboard the current gravy train of racially motivated P.C.
Poor Black Man, Nasty White Man...Give us your money, and lots of it.
Will that change to the past?.....No, it's just designed to line the pockets of corrupt and discriminatory Jamaicans.
That's the thing...We all actually live for now, it's referred to as survival....Memory and the past is just a convenient and useful survival tool.

Hopefully that would suggest that the U.S. vaccination program and other preventative measures are working.
Here in the U.K. Though covid infections are still prevalent, serious problems and deaths have now been significantly reduced, thanks to the rapid vaccination roll out and adherence to social distancing advice.
Vaccination comes with a minimal risk, as does going to the supermarket, but the benefits far outweigh the risks.
And conspiracy theories abound.....And conspiracy theorists, skim read a bit of social media propaganda and then promote themselves as scientific experts.
And the fact remains that thanks to scientific study and the development of medical interventions, we all live a whole lot longer than we would have done without it.

I wouldn't be astonished at all.
If a milkable system is provided, then people will milk it......It's what is known as a liberal society.

@MisterChris
Notwithstanding that everything that is supposedly objective, is fundamentally subjective.
In this case what you are proposing is the teaching of a biased subjective opinion (State indoctrination)....Which is nothing new I suppose, as we've been promoting religion in schools for centuries.
It would be more objective to give kids both sides of the argument and allow them to make up their own minds about recreational sex.
Or as I stated previously....Leave it to social media.

I think that you would only get banned for expressing your thoughts.
Not thought crime per se.....But edging in that direction.
Freedom of speech/expression has long since been out the window.....Depending upon one's skin tone of course.
Light skinned racist bad...Boooooooo.
Dark skinned racist good...Hoorah.

Don't they all.
And who came up with that arbitrary amount.
And whose pockets will it end up in.
And I suggest.... If history is that intolerable, than relocate back to Africa....Perhaps you will find some solace there....I doubt it though, you will probably be grinding the racist axe for evermore you handful of racist hypocrites.
I think it's fair to say that sensible people of all origins and all skin colour variations, moved on a long time ago...
And most Jamaicans are probably happy with Jamaica.....But wouldn't say no to a free hand out....Though I doubt if any of the 7 billion would end up in their pockets.

In other words, recreational sex education.

Discriminate: Recognize a distinction, differentiate.....Oxford dictionaries.
Data in, data assessment, difference perceived, output variable. It happens in less than the blink of an eye, and you will discriminate, it's human nature and absolutely unavoidable.
How one consciously manages ones data processing and output is is what you are referring to....How we might or might not choose to behave prejudicially towards others who we have perceived to be different.
And even though we may carefully manage our responses, formative data conditioning will inevitably dictate some level of prejudicial thought.
Perceived difference does not necessarily mean visual appearance, we will discriminate in response to all aspects of data input....If a Debateart member states an opinion that is contrary to ones acquired values, one will discriminate and respond accordingly.....Recognize a difference in an individuals values.
And social law is a secondary collective construct....Currently there is no such thing as thought crime....Though we are undoubtedly edging in that direction.
And if you want to discriminate on the basis of how one chooses to define "naturally systemic".......Then how about natural systems.

@Nyxified
There's a whole bigger evolutionary and sociological picture, that your simplistic argument does not take into account.
Very briefly:
Inherent ability dictates social hierarchy and the the tool we have devised to define success within the hierarchical system is called money.
So the higher up the pecking order one is, the more money one will have.
The availability and value of commodities and their derivatives, is an inevitable outcome of the system.
This is the reason why True Socialism remains a philosophical pipe dream.

I try to be a realist.
But ultimately everything in the Universe is real.
In human terms it all boils down to a conceptual choice.
Perhaps some choices are more rational than others.
But who or what is to judge?

As I keep telling y'all.
Everyone discriminates.
It's human nature.
So it's going to be nationally systemic, and also systemic in all racial sub-groups.
Despite what we are led to believe, racial/colour discrimination isn't an exclusively White European condition.

I always find this an interesting topic.
Because procreation is the necessity and recreational sex is the derivative thereof.
If you have a penis, testicles and produce sperm, then you are a fully reproductive male.
So not participating in normal reproductive sex is a choice, as is where you might stick your equipment for fun.
What you choose to do with your equipment for pleasure, should be of no concern.....(And I stress, is of no concern to me)
But what also strikes me is...... What is nowadays loudly promoted as the social norm in liberal societies, still isn't quite the social norm. There is still an underlying element of taboo and consequential justification needed in such discussions.
Why?....Because procreation is the inherent drive and recreational sex is the acquired derivative thereof... Whether that be a physiological acquisition or a sociological acquisition.
Nonetheless......There's already 7.9 billion people clogging up this planet...So make love...Not babies.
