The explanation I give: Sure, we are slowly advancing, but part of that advance (and i could add, at great cost to particular groups) has required or demanded this backstepping of modern times, namely and for the most part an attempt at the advancement of a huge segment of our race - females. Unfortunately the idea has been limited to the concept of "fairness" and such, and not a changing-into-men thing necessarily.Kevin Solway wrote:And rightly so! - especially if you are saying things with confidence, but then saying that you aren't at all sure about what you are saying.Laird wrote:I have a choice - I can go around whimpering "I'm not sure, I'm not sure" such that nobody will be particularly interested in anything that I have to sayBut you've been talking about it as though you know what it is and know that it exists.

There's another alternative, which is the honest approach. Instead of making bold statements about things of which you do not know, you can simply ask intelligent questions and see whether you can draw any useful conclusions from the answers.or I can - despite my uncertainty - venture boldness and confidence in the beliefs that I find most plausible and useful, and make a real contribution to the conversation.
You'd be better off framing your questions in the mode of "What if . . . ", as that way it would be less misleading.Now that you know my position, is there really any need for me to preface each statement that I make with: "I'm not totally sure, but perhaps..."? Just know that it's perpetually implied.
That's a laugh.In the modern, civilised world
We do things equally bad.do we still practice slavery? Do we still lock up the mentally deranged in straightjackets?
What you are calling "civilization" is only a thin veneer.
As I say, I haven't seen evidence of that. What appears on the surface to be an advancement in civilization, is an illusion. At heart, people are the same animals they have always been. And in many respects, intellectually and spiritually, we are going backwards in great leaps and bounds.The problem is not that people don't learn anything, but that we learn imperfectly.
Our "slow" advancement finally reached consciousness of what we were doing to women and their hopeful potential, our self conviction and such. From here the powers that be had two choices and still do, either open the doors of opportunity to existing women and to their minds, or 2, consider a medical/scientific approach which is much more invasive and not seen as necessary or critical to most. Unless the wisest attain power no such thing is likely.
But the point is, yes we are oh-too-slowly advancing a bit but the path we have taken is costing us dearly and may turn out in the end to be a poor decision; that is to consider firstly the current crop of women, if you will, as opposed to considering most a total loss and investing energy instead in only the youngest hopefuls.
We've advanced enough to see that half of us should catch up, but not so much to know the best way to pull it off, at least those in charge dont know the best way.
Though most believe a truly fantastic world is eons away, and though that is probably going to be the case at best, those in the know already know and have always known that we are merely a generation or two from a fantastic life on earth, if only people would see the value in becoming enlightened.

Jesus meaning those before him with an interest should not be swayed by the false teachers of his day but instead learn under him, because he achieved certainty.
