Indeed, so why can't they play?

No, I was thinking of the promotion of advancement, without the brake of philosophy. "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Indeed, but here we are?

Are you sure about that? As far as I can see, Science without philosophy has stripped our world of a future...

The point of a competition is to compete, we all want to win; but few of us (by few I mean, almost no-one) do. England's soccer team is in a final; who, in England, would give up an advantage, that happens to be female?

can be trained; does not equal, understanding...

of course there's a problem with the current system... That's it... 😉

That doesn't explain why it's better... Putting all our faith, in just one solution, is an ism and not very scientific.

I consider myself as a natural philosopher (not necessarily a good one), but I'm definitely not a scientist, my ignorance is plain for all to see; I couldn't even compose an essay.

That's an interesting phrase, since no science is required... 😉 It's an insidious generational problem, our society knows more now (better technology, that our parent's don't understand), ergo we're smarter.

Empiricism, is just another ism; if not used properly. I don't believe the child fully understands it's parents, yet... If I can't see it or measure it or predict it, it's not there...

Indeed, such-and-such a fact that is ignorant of it's ambiguity...

It depends on what we learn? What we know now, does not equate to; we know better...

Instead of 'woman's heavy weight wrestling' world champion, it would simply be 'category 5 wrestling' world champion. But whatever the categories, when money is involved corruption is likely; all it would do is provide fewer opertunities to cry foul when they lose.

The discussion is about fairness, it's never fair to disclude an applicant...

No, you have neatly summarised my position; perhaps you did listen, without realising...

You're welcome to argue my argument; you know, to show why it lack's substance...

Because you don't listen... Ah... I see where you are going on this. Yep that is one perspective, I guess it depends on the value of that game to each individual, and if or what effect it has on their lives. I get disgruntled, then I just let it go, since other than my short term emotional state, it doesn't really affect my life in any real detrimental way. Remember this? Indeed, you might be tempted to cheat... 😉

You should read the thread... 😣

It would be great, if only we could stop the cheat's from shouting "it's not fair"... 😪

Why indeed; classification is all we need.

It's not gender specific, it's entirely subjective.

What good is strength, if your adversary stronger?

What advantage? In what, is it an advantage?

FFS, how is that relevant ? Notice how my response above doesn't add much to the discussion ? ( this is a teaching moment ) Indeed... I think our society is trying to move past that point, 47 defined gender's is a satirical joke, designed to show the absurdity of calling them "transgender". We're all just people, trying to win 'the game of life'; no definition needed...
