Ye, they are, acktchually.

Sounds like you need to get the last word to win something, and you'll prove that you need the last word by running your mouth again. Here, go ahead:

It's reductive because it's not meant to convince you. It's simply what is. You asked me why I thought it is moral and those are my reasons why, and they're gonna stay that way whether you like it or not. They don't have to be reasonable or sensible or in line with your worldview. You don't have to agree with them. They don't even have to make sense to you. They're MY reasons, and they are valid simply because I hold them, because I say they are, because I decide what's ethical to me and what's not. That's all.

And you have to put up with that whether you want to or not.

Thanks for telling us you're just meaninglessly concern trolling and for proving debate is fucking pointless

Human expansion into space is anything but that and the idea that it is is just meaningless capitalist propaganda. Human expansion into space consists of:

• Building space solar power stations (SSPSes) to beam power down to the Earth 24/7 to replace the coal plants

• Mining calcium and magnesium from the Moon and near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) to bind with the excess CO2 in th oceans to stop and reverse ocean acidification

• Mining rare-Earth elements from NEAs to mass-produce electric cars and batteries down here ln Earth to replace gas vehicles

• Build O'Neill cylinders to preserve and rebuild ecosystems in safe places where poachers will never be able to reach

Among other things.

I am not judging you and when I was a kid, I too saw some shit. Many people have, it's very common. What's up for debate is whether it's aliens or not, is all.

I don't think you're crazy and you saw what you saw. It probably just wasn't aliens, it was likely some astronomical phenomenon. You could've seen a comet or an asteroid or a planet passing over the sun, that's what your description sounds like to me, anyway.

How could they possibly sue moderators? They're all anonymous

They're prepping their followers to openly support and advocate genocide. That is where that dark road leads down to.

The fact that the smugness, i.e., the confidence smart people display is annoying IS fundamentally thr problem. Smart people are allowed to be confident, to be smug, to be arrogant like everybody else, and that doesn't just go away because it makes stupid smug people feel bad about themselves or inferior.

And ALL intelligent people are falsely framed in this light, because the truth is that other people feeling inferior or jealous of them is all this is fundamentally about, and that is wrong.

Stop telling intelligent people they can't have positive self-esteem. I will NOT walk on eggshells around you anymore. I will not change who and what I am to spare your feelings. No intelligent person should have to.

Well, for one, I think like this.

Then I have no reason to take you seriously. Goodbye.
