If highly advanced civilization were found to exist other than the solar system what would its effect be on humanity?
When are we going to step into our utopian uplands?

difference between upvote and like vote
Indeed, I'm always assumed to be stoned; it's very frustrating...

Indeed, but why assume they aren't? It reminds me of the impact of Jonah Lomu

Indeed, but it's been suggested several time's in our history, mostly by religion's; I often wonder when/if we're going to learn...

How do you manage anger for what is happening to this world?
Indeed, like so many adults who attack Gretta, personally, for pointing out the obvious; because they can't be bothered to make a few adjustments. People tend to be lazy and shy away from anything that threatens their comfort; so, if they can kick the can down the road, they will, because it's easier (and even if their looking down the barrel, it's easier to just run and hide). So all we're left with, is the hope that our children will sort it out for us; but we're angry when they try... Because it's more profitable. Money is a strange concept, it's meant to make it easier to exchange what we have for what we need, yet all we care about is what we have, rather than what we need. Go figure...

The trick is, to accept the result... 😉

Ethics are only intuitivemotional thoughts (split from Should we lie to people for the greater good?)
I wish I could; but you're equating ethic's with philosophy...

Aren't we visited by that everyday? We're more advanced than yesterday, because we have mobile phone's now... Why would it take an alien, to find the flaw in that logic?

That's not possible, someone will allways have an advantage; all we can do is, play the game and accept the result...

Shouldn't that care extend to everyone; even if we don't like their choices? If someone feels the need to cheat, to win; I think they need even more care, than someone who just wants to play the game...

I've just edited that post with this: (the losing team can take solice in the fact that no side can win forever) The point is, there's no advantage that can't be surmounted.

The fact is, whatever their physiology, the only fair thing to do is, find a way to let them play. The talk in this thread about a woman's team with a trans-player advantage; It's not the winning side that cries foul (the losing team can take solice in the fact that no side can win forever). And to answer your strawman/irrelevant question, they can move in when they need to, my rights are unaffected. Then we need to find a better way of measuring; that represent's the least harmful outcomes for all concerned.

The fact is, some people are better at some thing's; the problem is, some people can't accept that...

You're still dancing; why are you so certain, they're not welcome? Every choice has a consequence, we just don't know what it is yet.

The NHS provide treatment for trans patients, so I'd imagine the ethics Committee are happy with it's efficacy.

There you go again, tap-dancing around a strawman.

So, instead of an unhealty drug regime to become what they believe they are, they are given an unhealthy drug regime to treat their depression?

Are there any benefits to not masturbating?
Sorry, I was mid wank; what's all this talk about gun's?

Are there any benefits to not masturbating?
Why was this post neged? It seems a reasonable explanation... 😉

Great post +1... Why? When I wake up monday, England will have either won or lost... I'll therfore be happy, or not; but I can't be either; if we don't play...

Of course not; If I only want to win, I'm going to choose a guy in a coma... 😉

Can you be a scientist and still believe in religion?
For priest, read teacher... Indeed, but if your teacher doesn't understand what they're teaching, the line of science/religion is blurred, however literal we try to make the explanations. Scientist's have understanding of the literal language of mathematics because they had teacher's, that literally understood the context of today's understanding; will that be applicable tomorrow?

It's not the religion that demands "scriptural literalism"... It's the priests, that don't understand the metaphors.
