Without an authoritative body, rights are just an individual and variable concept...What might be one persons logic, may not be the same as another's.


Fact is we all live in and are governed by the rules of a State...Doesn't need logic to work this out.


Trans as an acquired state of mind is the property of the individual, but the medical and surgical appeasement of the trans mindset is ultimately the decision of State and society.

Your opening post made me think of Ron Manager.



Nonetheless, I think that I'm right in saying that there isn't a person who hasn't died...Actually, that doesn't make sense.


Wasn't a person that didn't die...Hmmmmm.


Hasn't been a person that didn't die...Nope


Hasn't been a person that hasn't died...Rubbish


Isn't a person that won't die...Crap.



I think that you are correct Mal.

SergeantLynch

I was just pointing out, that although trans is a free state of mind, when it comes to enablement trans becomes a social issue, and society is governed..."Rights" are dictated by State and society and not by the wants of the individual.


If rights were dictated by the wants of the individual, then should we not afford the rapist the same rights as the victim.



And in the past, slavery was okay, as dictated by past governance and social majority in relation to past moral thinking and past laws.


Things eventually changed.





SergeantLynch

Things either happen for a reason or they don't.


If they do they do, and if they don't then what does it matter.


That said, it's not so easy to solve problems once they have arisen, especially if social expectancy has become established.

SergeantLynch

Fact is, some men are stronger that some women and some women are stronger than some men.


And combat strength is as much about mental ability as it is about the ability to carry 50lbs and a gun.


Notwithstanding, that frontline cannon fodder is what it is and techno-war is fought from a safe distance.

SergeantLynch

I agree in the main.


Though as I see it "reality" is as reality does, and recent and current trends concerning the identity of the self are real enough in that context.


Homosexuality for example which crops up in the Bible, is certainly not a recent manifestation, and by that I do not mean the manifestation of a physical/sexual act, but rather, the underlying concept and therefore the reality of the concept which underpins the act.

SergeantLynch

Logically there are no laws, other than Universal physical laws of course.


Otherwise, law is a variable social concept.


And trans enablement relies upon a whole raft of social provision overseen by the governance of State and society.


So if State and society says no to medical and surgical provision, then that is the be all and end of it until such times when State and society says yes.

SergeantLynch

Congress, I think you mean to say... Is one of those governmental bodies designed to defend against tyranny.


Do you see tyranny as the best way forwards for the U.S?


Not forget that approximately 50% of the population is legally armed to defend against tyranny and the other 50%...Very democratic.

Godfrey raped a virgin in a stable, so same as Trump, it would be hypocritical to try and condemn the exploitation of women.


Pornography however, is a sound business model and acting genre.

SergeantLynch

Yes, Mr Sandwich is certainly credited with the sandwich.


Though I doubt that no one ever realised the potential of bread and accompaniments previously.


The concept isn't rocket science and the wheel had been around for millennia.


Asquare wheel wouldn't have been a lot of good, especially for chariot racing.


And I would imagine that Jesus also enjoyed the odd goat, fatted calf and Greek yoghurt.


Odd goats have three horns.

SergeantLynch

Hmmm.


Emphasis emphasises.


And YELLING is an internally generated non-sound that one might apply to emphasis.


One could also generate a whisper.



Remote hate is also another internally generated state of mind.


One could easily generate happiness.


Who's going to know, other than you?



I would suggest that one chooses to be yelled at and/or hated for whatever reasons.


And the way to be understood, is to explain.



And talking from experience I would further suggest that angst is to a greater extent empowered by the endocrine system.


An active sexual partner, hard work and physical exercise are all good stress relievers.

SergeantLynch

Do you understand everything?


No, nor me.


Does my friend Ebuc?


Nope.


Though I'm guessing that the answer is neither 42, or written in English.


And 42 like GOD, was a work of fiction generated by a human being.


Thereafter it was repeated to a point of conscious acceptability.



SergeantLynch

I think that Philosophy is an inevitability of the human condition, and that some people earn a living from it.


A bit like some people earn a living from gardening.


08.10 here in Windy Wales.


So good morning and good night.

SergeantLynch

Good morning Leaning.


Though perhaps it is not morning where you are.



I would suggest that Nihilism is a philosophical concept for the sake of academic philosophical concepts.


And a non-workable reality, for the reasons you put forwards.



Whereas egoism is a philosophical concept for the sake of academic philosophical concepts, wherein the human condition is overly complicated for the sake of academic grandeur.


Nonetheless, egoism does describe the reality of the self, for the reasons you put forwards.



I would suggest that you do not need to read Existential philosophy, as you exude it naturally.


But perhaps you won't make a career of it.

SergeantLynch

Yes, sort of the Swiss approach.


And of course we mustn't forget that Navally speaking Sudan are allied to the Russians.


Although, like the Russians, also embroiled in conflicts closer to home.



Hmmm. Hominids have taken many millennia to evolve to this level of intellect and civility.


So what's not to like about a big party and happy hands?

SergeantLynch

We were honeymooning in Norway at the time, and Edvard Munch famously painted my bride's portrait.


She was posing on a wooden bridge.


As you can see, Munch was hopeless at facial expressions.


Though it was -5 and blowing a gale.

SergeantLynch

And also China.


Hmmm. But this is $0 military budget question, wherein we are trying to guess the one rogue State.


How do you stop a rogue State, unless you have also violated the $0 military spending agreement.

SergeantLynch

Nihilism and Egoism do appear to be somewhat contradictory states of mind.


Though, I would suggest that being successfully suicidal is as good as nihilism gets.


And that suicide is perhaps the ultimate egoistic achievement.


So maybe not as contradictory as I first thought.


Is this common sense logic?
