Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Some really good ones, but I especially love the very last one. I actually feel my Mother was the only one who truly loved me deeply and unconditionally…besides my pet doggies.
Wow, these sure gave everyone something to think about. The thing is, they are so true.
Mary: I felt that way too. And always remember, while an animal may love you sincerely, it's only capable of knowing you on a rather limited level. In most cases your mother knows you better that anyone else does.
Mary K: Thanks! I always hope to make people think.
"Maturity is working through your trauma and not using it as a never ending excuse for poor behaviour" Indeed. It's very fashionable right now to trot out some distressing personal experience and expect instant sympathy and suspended judgment.
The double decker outhouse concerns me a little. It needs some redesign. I can already hear the bitching and moaning from the inconvenience of having to climb the ladder.
Nick: Yes, that's the fad these days. Everybody wants to be special, and at the current moment, the way to be special is to be more oppressed and downtrodden than the next guy. Lots of people -- maybe most -- do have genuine trauma, of course, but it can't be treated as a permanent exemption from the obligation to refrain from traumatizing other people.
Spirilis: No doubt the true oligarchs will soon insist that the peons (or pee-ons, in this case) carry them up the ladder.
