Hey, guys.
I'm a brand new chatter.
You can tell this is true because of my name.
biotech_investor
welcome, NewChatter
make yourself at home
NewChatter
Thank you, biotech_investor.
Say, have you ever studied Greek philosophers?
biotech_investor
Yepp.
NewChatter
Do you have a favorite?
biotech_investor
Well I like Protagoras the most
NewChatter
How come?
biotech_investor
Gorgias was ok, too
Protagoras was a relativist, he was the one who coined the phrase "man is the measure"
of course I do not believe everything is relative
that would be dangerous
that was Pythagoras
not Protagoras
NewChatter
I have a counterpoint to that idea by Protagoras.
"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they moved finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
biotech_investor
I'm not reading all of that

Okay.
I ended my conversation with you.
At my level of intelligence, reading large passages of text is par for the course.
And delighting in a deliberate avoidance of new knowledge is a grave sin this intellectual worldview.

That's pretty offensive for them to provide additional facts.
I only wish to receive my facts from the president.
Just as some in the GOP recommend.

It appears AngelaTwerkel is dumb.
Would you guys like to live in a constant state of fear?
Like, when you consider the possibility of, on a daily basis, having to hide beneath some bench as the terrorists drive by, do you think, That's the world I want to live in.
Because that is what Donald J. Trump, Vice-President, offers.
I'm gonna hard pass.

WildNoser: would you ever kill Younglings?
Like, for example, if you had a really tasty cake and they ruined it for no clear purpose.
