There have been studies done (but not at extreme levels). They are with identical twins separated at birth and also with comparisons between adopted vs genetic children. They definitely show a large nature component in that the identical tw

Hypocrisy is a moral issue. It plays into the principle of fairness that even animals have. If that isn’t morality, then almost nothing is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocrisy Also, it is right to call it like it i

If you have an issue with Twitter in current form, go get a law passed. Don’t prosecute them before they have done anything. Don’t go pass laws that violate rights such as freedom of movement.

You still have not shown a single way these colonies hurt. They don’t exist yet. You just read hypotheticals from one side. It is also known as pre-crime. Here are some examples. Look at the Pilgrims. They left because of religious persecut

So much for freedom. If another person isn’t hurting you by building a colony, why should you have a say? Sounds like a society based on jealousy and envy. If you want a colony, go advocate for more funding for NASA. The US government’s bud

They often go to where it is most optimal to commit a certain crime. For instance, a bank nearby was robbed this morning. It’s close to a freeway. Another example, a bunch of cars near the freeway had their catalytic converters taken out. L

That is oh so convenient and so wrong. It’s also known as the not my problem argument. Suppose you lived in England in 1861. Would you choose to do business with the Confederacy? Where is your magic calculator that shows you would do more h

I said they were hypocrites. Not that it would have an effect. It would end their hypocrisy.

They also are intentionally fuzzy with Americans. Your privacy is important they say. They say that they will fight against government to protect your privacy. What is more important is that they don’t tell you. Your data is backed up onto

Do they store German data in the US and have easy access to it? Google stored it everyone’s data everywhere and somehow the US had access to ALL of it unencrypted.

You don’t take a moral stand when everyone else takes a moral stand. Someone has to be first.

Also, let’s take it even further. How about the right to vote? Would it ok to do business in a country where women don’t have the right to vote? How about apartheid? How about slavery? How about genocide? Where is your line and on what basi

I am saying that the companies are hypocrites. They don’t have to leave. Just expose their hypocrisy and lies.

The point is that companies argued to continue doing business with South Africa because it would be a net benefit to those countries. It’s the same argument.

They segregate Chinese data in China and have easy access to it. I wonder if they leave the rest of the world data in the US.

I wonder if this would work. Divide up the world into a grid. Once you have the cell associated with your GPS location, randomly pick a nearby cell. Stick with this mapping from cell to cell forever and keep this mapping only on the phone.

Cook, though, presented the issue in deeply political terms. He said: "We believe that people have a fundamental right to privacy. The American people demand it, the constitution demands it, morality demands it."
