For sure Stephen.
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.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Have a nice day in Bromsgrove.
I'm off to Evesham for a few days to see the offspring and going to see Steve Hackett in Brum on Monday evening with the eldest.

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?

Russians are just big kids, who still like to play war.
But to be fair, there are probably a few who grew up a tad more sensibly.

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.

@Best.Korea
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.

@Reece101
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.

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.

@WyIted
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.

@addvocate
For sure, recreational sex should be enjoyed without hang ups.
Though years of social conditioning still make us fraught with hang ups.
So reason is dictated thus.
And such social pressures will vary considerably relative to circumstance.

@Mall
Ok, so you don't know ok.
Within my own microcosm, I am able to know that which becomes knowable.
Which of course, will not be everything that is known.
So one will perhaps focus one's exertions towards something that is known and possibly achievable...Or perhaps not.
So Mall.
Relative to the topic:
"Aspiring to be a trans person".
Which facts do you personally strive for?

@Moozer325
I think that more often we are limited by our own potential, or lack of.
Especially in relatively stable Western societies.
I don't think that it is reasonable to expect everything on a plate, in return for no effort.

@Mall
In facts, what should one strive for?
Well as I see it there is an obvious contradiction in that question.
If one is striving for something that has not yet occurred, then a factual outcome cannot be known.
I do not have the ability to predict future facts.
But as I stated previously, one should strive for personal contentment.
As for what contentment means, will vary according to individual conditioning and aspirations, and corresponding achievability.
Created:

@Moozer325
Well then what does work?
I would suggest, that what we currently have in reasonably tolerant and ordered western societies is about as good as it will get.
Unless the human species is genetically re-engineered, and programmed not as individuals, but as a cohesive hive.
A drastically reduced population of worker people overseen by an A.I. elite.
Driving material and technological evolution forwards to an unknown conclusion.

Being hungry also effects ones mental health, and therefore also affects ones ability to think rationally.
Hence dark beings and spiritual fantasy.
So B.K. I would suggest a balanced diet and regular exercise.

@Moozer325
Individual freedom within a cohesive society is about as good as it gets.
Anarchy tends to suggest individualism within a chaotic society.
And a society inevitably evolves hierarchically.
So the chaos of anarchic struggle is likely to once again, evolve into the brutality of oppression...See Orwell
Out of the frying pan into the fire, as it were.
Morals are products of the imagination.
And so in my opinion, the reality of anarchy and the concept of morality are a tad contradictory.

@Mall
Everything that exists or occurs within a Universe is naturally occurring, and therefore a fact.
States of mind are unique, and so one should never expect uniformity of thought.
Within this context your opinions are just as valid as mine and everyone else's.
So in my opinion...One should strive for personal contentment, and ignore stuff that doesn't quite fit with our own particular way of thinking.
Which isn't to suggest that we cannot observe and pass comments.
Though for sure, a lot of people like to make a song and dance about stuff...Which is their call and not mine.

One can either work 9 to 5 and pop into the supermarket on the way home.
Or traipse around the countryside all day with a spear and a rudimentary container for berries and nuts.
Orrrrrrrrr. Get some other lowly individuals to do the donkey work for you.
That's how it works.
And don't forget your smartphone; currently the most potent slave driver of the lot.
In my opinion.

Urinal section for penis people and sit down cubicles for all other discharge activities.
Keep hand washing facilities separate.
Let people fiddle for fun as they so wish, and if that involves hormone therapy and surgery, make sure that they pay for it.
Sport should just be a fun form of beneficial physical activity for all, and not be taken too seriously.
And let's be honest; at first glance some "Trans" persons look quite convincing, whereas others are quite obviously either blokes in frocks or girls in boxer shorts who frequent the Barbers shop regularly.
One should just smile from the safety of ones own individuality and get on with ones short existence.
In my opinion.

Here in the U.K. I would refer to it as the establishment.
Those that sip whiskey from the comfort of their leather club chairs, whilst keeping an eye on the headless chickens in the House of Commons.
Devoted to the Crown and firmly in control of the Military, The Legal system and Westminster.
Off home to the stately pile at the weekends for a spot of shooting.
No Problem.
