Anyone that identifies as a 19th century bourgeois hypocrite.
Is probably a 21st century bourgeois wannabee.
Isn't everyone?

Sexuality drives procreation.
Overthink drives a variety of recreational activities.
Overthink also generates penis vagina angst.
And the Adam and Eve parable is perhaps the first recorded reference to penis vagina angst.

It's like talking points but without the points.
Exactly that.
With intense social media and public scrutiny it's far better to waffle, not give too much away, and not make comments that can be misinterpreted.
Bullsh*t baffles brains, as the saying goes.

If they were clever and the rest were thickos, then that was how the reward system worked/works.
To be a good politician "word salad" is an essential strategy.
And if Kamala employs word salad, then WTF does Donald use?
The dual ejections resulting from a bad stomach perhaps.

Well.
Certainly if such a scenario occurred, then one could validate the alien hypothesis.
But one would need to establish if they or their ancestors had in fact been here before.
Firstly learning how to communicate, of course.

Still harping on about subjectively objective morality.
Or is it objectively subjective morality.
Either way, it's all made up stuff.

Well, if you read my stuff you will no doubt be aware of two hypotheses I promote.
1. Extra-terrestrial seeding
2. The significance of Earth based intelligence, in respect of universal evolution.
Not forgetting hypothesis No.3.
Everything is pure chance and nothing really matters.
Nothing prophetic about such thoughts.

For sure, prophecies are easy if one interprets pertinent data rationally.
Though there's no saying that irrational people will not behave irrationally.
Not forgetting that irrationality is an occurrent factor and nothing more than an opposing point of view.
Though hopefully just about all will recognise that global nuclear war is a tad daft.

Two steps forwards and one step back.
Clever stupid gene.
And data transfer is what it is,
And a life is but a universal micro second.
A thousand years from now, Earthlings may well have colonised Mars,
And will probably be fighting over it.
And those that were suppressed, will continue to harp on about their indigenous Martian heritage and some GOD or another.
And others will be thinking about where to go next and how to get there.

@Sidewalker
For some reason or not, organic/human intelligence is an evolved electro-chemical process that allowed/allows for the development and further evolution of material processes.
All aspects of intellectual development seemingly played an important role in the process.
Though whether or not all aspects were necessary or could have been somewhat different, is to a degree now irrelevant...or not perhaps.
Speculation and it's synonyms describe the process.

I would suggest that LOGIC is, but human knowledge is currently limited.
Though obviously we could relate superior knowledge to superior logic.
But on the other hand knowledge is not necessarily a guarantee of a logical mind.
Nonetheless, GOD the human idea is both logical and illogical.
And then there is GOD the inevitable process, and as Sidewalker points out, probably not the beardy man.
Beardy men are beardy men.

Belief, yep, when all other explanations fail.
All falling under the broad umbrella of humanism.
Sub category, we don't actually have a clue.
But hey, here's another load of pseudo-hypothetical subjectivity.
I work on the theory that an interventionist super-intelligence, would actually be such, and not something that attracts attention by setting fire to bushes.

Iran et al will support dimwits in order to promote religious stupidity.
And opposing dimwits will support religious dimwits in order to promote religious stupidity.
All done with technology, smart bombs and social media propaganda these days.
Clever stupid gene.
Of course, without the religious stupidity they could all live in harmony.

As I've pointed out to you from time to time.
Communism is a philosophical pipe dream that fails to take into account the reality of the human condition.
You cannot make human beings behave equally, if they don't want to be equal.
They might think that they want to be equal, but thinking and doing are two different things.
The actual choices available are; reasonably fair hierarchies or variably unreasonable hierarchies.

I don't have a smartphone, as I don't have time to use it.
I do have a nokia that does calls and texts, just in case I breakdown whilst out cycling or driving etc.
I look upon todays info-tech addiction, as the start of techno dominance over the organic.
A.I. alternative intelligence will lead the way eventually.
It's perhaps the only way that intellectuality will successfully escape this Earthly prison and the dominance of the Sun.

Function and process dictate that everything is actually an illusion.
Though certain pointers lead us to conclude that some of our illusions are reasonable facsimiles.
Whereas others are wholly self generated.
Is the latter any less real than the former?

Self propelled organic computers as it were.
I never discount a purpose greater than just an evolved particulate anomaly.
Though like most mystical hypotheses, clairvoyance is a toss up between possibility and improbability, and as thing currently stand, the arguments for the latter are more substantial.
I'm still open minded though.

@Tarik.
The human mass is instilled with purpose and then subsequently programmed with ideas.
Nihilism is a philosophical concept relative to the latter...And as such is contradictory nonsense.
They that decided that everything was purposeless and committed suicide, saw purpose in their actions.
Unfortunately they had developed some stupid ideas.
The mass functioned purposefully until the end.
Objectivity and subjectivity are simply the classification of ideas.

I've no idea.
Mediums are as mediums do.
And Nostradamus made some predictions and some people interpreted accordingly.
If you think about it, human and environmental nature is predictable.
I'm guessing that the main objective of mediums, is probably to extract money from the gullible.

Any individual can choose not to violate freedom of other.
I would suggest that we are innately programmed to be selfish.
Though for sure, we have developed our ability to overthink.
So some social groupings are reasonably fair, but with a level of underlying reasonable selfishness.
You will never completely level the playing field in favour of equality.
Some people will seek guidance and some people will lead and assume privilege.
That's how it works.

If one is paid enough then one doesn't need tips.
So in these circumstances tips would be taxable income.
Even if underpaid, tips are a recognised part of an income and therefore also subject to taxation rules.
Left, Right or Centre...Doesn't really make much difference.
If someone's life choices and innate potential have brought them to a menial job, then that is their status.
Other choices were and still are available, but perhaps not achievable.
Such is natural selection.

Basic principles are variable.
And the fundamental truth assumes in essence to philosophically postulate an essential concept...How's that for tautology.
Thing is though, basic human units are also variable and therefore never equal.
So by default, the philosophical principle of anarchy is unworkable in practice.
Which is why social systems have evolved as they have.

@ADreamOfLiberty
Time has a beginning, space has a point of origin.
This is an opinion.
I would propose that Time and Space are ready states, waiting for an event.
And Free is a concept relative to Cost.
As such, Free is a temporary state of mind that is not considering cause.
Free is also a concept, relative to money.
Money is part of a globally understood social system.

We all think it is wrong to kill a child for fun.
I would suggest that we are taught how to behave.
And instinctively, avoid unessential effort and risk.
The key words in your statement are:
"Think"...Which is a subjective process.
"Wrong"...Which is a subjectively derived concept.
"Fun"...Ditto.
At the same time we are also taught that killing other living organisms can be an acceptable leisure pursuit.
But of course, not everyone agrees.
And over the millennia up to the present day, we still kill each other on a daily basis, in the name of subjective ideology.
Nope, when needs arise we can modify morality to suit.
