I must say I appreciate your direct delivery, and concise points (sorry Santa).
How do you suppose we determine what basic human rights are? Or is the question too vague?
Keeping the same spirit of your comment, but applying it to food:
You don’t have a right to my food. You have no right to food for free.
Both these statements seem quite true in today’s world. Can we go further and say food/water isn’t a human right?
I hope this isn’t interpreted as putting words in your mouth. I’m just curious where you stand with regard to more ‘mainstream’ human rights.
- aaron695 6y agoI admit I find it hard to understand what is a basic human right. I think probably because it's a PR term where the implementation can't match the description. > You have no right to food for free. If it's a basic human right then I think you do. > You don’t have a right to my food. This I also think is true so you hit a contradiction. In practice it's making sure people have enough to eat the best you can. The practical application of what I think you want is freedom of speech and low censorship. But it will include falsehoods. It also avoids the discussion of what is truth, which is impossible.
- desertraven 6y agoCould you expand on the impossibility of discussing truth?
