@EnKristenSnubbe@BladeoftheS Traits that promote cooperation: compassion, empathy, generosity are, in evolutionary terms "naturally selected" giving humans an innate understanding of the golden rule.
@EnKristenSnubbe@BladeoftheS The basis of a "natural morality" is an evolved trait: cooperation is a more successful strategy for a population than selfishness and conflict....
@BrianKarem The genuine irony is that if Trump had dealt with the Covid pandemic with competence and compassion he would have easily won reelection in Nov 2020.
@angry_blue_dot@KyleLHandley So as long as it's dark for them "anyways" -- it's okay with you that they wait in the dark in the morning for 2 or 3 months longer so you can have a little more daylight after work?
@Skeletonkey5555@SpencerHakimian Yep -- the casing does not travel with the projectile.

@FJWLDS@God_Questioner You're the one using the word "cruelty" -- the religious often compose theodicies to deflect cruelty from their God. I'm simply talking about suffering -- disease, hunger and the resulting misery.
Perhaps some of the hunger, but don't blame selfish and evil humans for disease.
@FJWLDS@God_Questioner An interesting point in Simulation Theory, is that if a human constructed a computer program that generated so much pain and misery for the simulated entities involved, it would certainly be considered immoral if not criminal.
@glennkirschner2 Diversity is an indicator of freedom.
When you see people around you who look different than you, talk different than you, love different than you, cook different foods than you -- you know you live in a free society.
Those who insist on conformity are no friend to freedom.
