Revenge is the antipode of forgiveness, no-one else can grant you peace...

Lol 😂 +1 batman...

Indeed, as Socrates suggests, any harm we do, we do to our soul's... It goes to the heart of justice, if I pluck out an eye for an eye; can you see more?

Then it's no longer a game, it's a profession a job, something we do to make a living; is it fair to exclude anyone from making a living??? Fair competition??? I wonder if there's a correlation between wealth and the number of meddles won, the data would seem to support that hypothesis...

I wonder how many, and how loud, the cries of unfair would be made, if money wasn't part of the equation. The Olympics' has lost it's moral imperative, now that no-one can claim to be an amateur... The bottom line is, IT'S CALLED A GAME and everyone should be allowed to play, whatever shape peg they have.

Indeed, but still we try...

I smell a rat, see... Sorry, I couldn't resist. 😉

It doesn't disqualify consideration, but it might (probably does) disqualify our understanding of that entities consciousness; I can't even understand a fellow human, who chooses a different side to me, I can sympathise and accept their arguments because we share so many relative experiences of what it means to be man; that doesn't mean I understand what it means to be woman... Probably not now, but how can we tell when that line is crossed?

No, but I can suggest a path to the right answer...

Do you not see the problem with that logic? Indeed, and my answer pertains to grip in the corners... 😉 F1 struggle's with that question, every day...

If we didn't have star's, how would we know where to go??? A map, is just a guide; why not plant this question in the religious forum?

Any awareness of what is consciously decided has to be considered; be it be a bee or the internet. The problem is, how can we consider either, since we're neither...

Tomorrow we'll know...

Then we're on the same page, at least...

How many Fukushimas does it take to end the world?

What consciousness seeks it's own end? It can be argued, that currently the internet does...

Isn't that the Gaia hypothesis? How do you measure the awareness of a bee? To understand a consciousness, you have to walk a mile in their shoe's; all I know for sure is, I'm conscious and I'm aware of that and my mate agrees... 😉

"A tank has such good traction (grip) that it almost never gets stuck. In a tank grip alone is good enough." Indeed and that's the reason why I included it, it has no differential. The only reason to include a differential, however sophisticated, is to go around corners quicker and easier. "Grip alone is not always the answer." To what, automotive, question?

And you wonder why I want to get off this merry-go-round?

Do you mean eat? because, by eat we have a different perception... Indeed...

Then why do we need to aquire it?

Indeed, it depends on which side of the cutlery one reside's An aquired taste means we have to learn to live with it, not that we like it...

Fair enough, but your diagram confuses my point, look at the contact point of the track rather than the number idler wheel's contained in it's presumed circumference, you asked for a scientific answer to your question, why is grip not the answer?

That assumes it's awareness is the same as ours, but how could it be? I can't understand how a bat can see with it's ears, because I use mine to hear with; there is no relative position to inform my understanding.

We're all, well most, talking past each other on this; I'm not saying that trans athletes can't have an advantage or that further regulation's/categories shouldn't be introduced to level the playing field, but there will always be outliers in any given sport. As in my example of Jonah Lomu (the England rugby captain called him a freak), but if IRC, NZ didn't win that world cup because other team's worked out a way to play them. My point has always been let them play first and then work out why/if it's unfair and adjust the field accordingly. Is the treatment of Castor Semenya fair? It's like asking Usain Bolt to wear a hobble...
