Right. We are talking about social conventions, not right or wrong. This is plain when we see that the same action can be legal in one country, and a serious crime in another. It's simply the rules of the game, no different to Scrab

Your mistake here, imo, is that you think law is something other than an instrument of control. You believe that it is about codifying a set of good behaviours or something. The compilation errors are intentional, rich people are able to

It is fair, I don't accept attempts to mitigate. The trust is gone, and nothing can recover it. The idea of trusting government and corporations was ridiculous in the first place as these entities are not your friends. You wouldn&#x2

No. The information is all out there - secret courts, secret judgements, its all been put out there. I don't need to dissect any technical information, to recognise that I cannot know what I do not know. In case anyone was uncertain

On the basis of not having information, cos all this occurs out of sight, you believe this is not the case. Ok.

It's completely fair, because regardless of third party audits, chips, etc, there are backdoors right along the line, that are going to provide Apple and the government with secret legal access to your data. They can simply go to a se

Yes. The socially constructed world is not the actual, personally-experienced world. The stories you believe determine the reality you can consider.

To say "tenuous" is to wildly understate the problems. IMO, history is tenuous - even recent history. 'Prehistory' is just an act of collective imagination from licensed historians.

Surely the biggest factor would be the use of force. From acts of enclosure (where common land was stolen by the local upper classes), to the destruction of local crafts as with the Luddites. Once you destroy the local 'lifestyle&#x2

It sounds like you feel the same way I feel about a gas car - ie highly unconcerned about distance, fuel, etc. However, going off the post I initially replied to, it seems that this person did have additional anxiety on account of their EV

Its a different order of magnitude. I don't need to think about fuel every day, and I don't have to consider my week if I have a busy day.

Lol! No, of course not. My point is that I object to the idea that a result can be 100% right! Even in the case of eating rocks, it seems there are times that it can be beneficial. To think '100% correct' is achievable is to mis

You choose such an edge case question - how about this sort of thing: Which is the best political party? Are the side effects to X medical treatment? I bet there are even cases when eating rocks is ok! PS It has been written about: https:&
