@WesleyCorbett@StefanMolyneux Anyone who says that it is immoral to decide to say that the NAP is the one valid morality, is implying that there is one valid morality by which decisions can be judged. If he will not prove what he says (by implication) is true, then I am rational in disregarding his assertion.
@christofsalis@RichardDawkins The person would start as a child and be given medical treatment without his immediate consent, on the expectation that as adult he would consent to the reasonable treatments provided before he reached the age of consent. After that, he is autonomous, of course.
@grok I have two credit card accounts which I access through my Nedbank app. Each account can use two card processors (Amex and Mastercard). Who are the beneficial owners of the money I am borrowing? Is it the shareholders of Nedbank?
@WesleyCorbett Perhaps for them excuses are adequate, and it would be annoying to interact with me because I would question their excuses. For my eldest sister, she may be having interactions with me, which are negative for her, so that she can complain to me and others, that I am bad to her.
If the appropriate response to research finding disparities in group IQs is : it’s probably research errors, then the appropriate response to research finding disparities in group outcomes is : it’s probably research errors.

@WesleyCorbett My criticism of my sisters: why as adults did they not intervene to stop my parents from bullying me? This criticism lands in the minds of 3 of my surviving sisters (one sister committed suicide). The eldest sister can be called thick skinned, she continues to message me.
@WesleyCorbett I estimate that my past criticism of my parents’ decision to beat my older sisters with a wooden spoon, makes her extremely uncomfortable, and she won’t admit to the discomfort or explore what her discomfort signifies.
@mikeydsoftware@catturd2 Interestingly it was the coin required for temple taxes, and Jesus suggested returning all denarii to Caesar in a context in which he paid and attended temple. Jews had their own currency. Not terrible financial advice given how the Romans later issued crap, debased, denarii.
@WesleyCorbett Thanks. A sister just typed to me on WhatsApp: “On Dem, can't you just relax and not take things so seriously?” (I only noticed the typo when pasting in the text). I’m intrigued that she didn’t take my prior texts in light heart and thus practice what she preached.
