    Trans was my first thought before I clicked the link.

    My favorite argument from these psychos? When caught in this debate the "trans-women" (men) will answer any point using the term "womanhood". It's a make believe word so that they can sound like their premise isn't total shit...

    The last line is the best: "You're just concluding this, but you haven't really argued for it."

    So true. They can't dispute the fact that XY = Male and XX = Female and there's nothing your feelings can do about that.

    In the centuries to come, historians will will be building long, productive academic careers by analyzing why 21st century Western civilization went into self-destruct mode.

    I learned long ago it is a useless effort to argue with idiots! IMO they usually look like fools and act the part. I also rejoice knowing I am on the downhill side of this life and those knuckleheads will have to live in the world they are sadly making after I check out.

    think a man can be a woman, believe in man caused climate change (when the climate has change for ALL of 4.5 billion years), think history began with the election of George Bush in 2000

      To know and understand A is A is to reject the concept of God.

        I respect your contention but I do not entirely agree. Reality is…
        And we are limited to our perceptions but that doesn’t necessarily mean we perceive or even can perceive all.

          To know and understand that no one knows and understands everything does not prove anything or mean anything about the mental construct we call God. It is totally subjective. To rely on revelation for knowledge is a death sentence.

            We are born to a death sentence. Believing in nothing afterward for whatever reason ensures a death sentence. To read and glean wisdom to help walk life does nothing more than make life a little less bumpy, a bit more structured and offers the possability of something after. In that context I cannot see death.
            As I said, I respect your view but hold on to it slightly differently.

              The only thing that can go out of existence is that which lives. Every system of a living entity has the purpose of sustaining that life as long and as vibrant as possible. As for human life, we are rational beings of volitional consciousness. This means that reason is our sole means of survival. By your own admission, you are a death worshiper, for which I have no respect nor is any deserved. Go nuts!

                Reason as a sole means of survival works well, until recently as the video points out, in the physical world. One could make the claim that reason as the means of survival in a spiritual sense necessitates a degree of faith in something more than what tangible. I do not see conflict. Doesn’t sound like death worship to me.

                Matter cannot be destroyed, only changed in form. To blink out of existence entirely denies reason as man is far more capable than other living things on earth.

                  You began your last comment saying life is a death sentence. You ended it by aspiring to an afterlife. In summary, you do not hold your life as a value. I did not watch the video, and your comment about it proves that it's message is absurd. Reason is an absolute. Your second paragraph here makes no sense. You are attempting to use reason to deny reason, twice.

                    This post strayed from the video's subject. I suggest you watch it. it is short and very enlightening as a look at contemporary CULTURE.

                    From the moment of mitosis life begins and so does it's countdown. For arguments sake, lets say everyone, short of mishap, has an expiration date, a drop dead date, after 125 years. I made the assumption that you understood. Physical life, the only live we can absolutely say for certain, our perception and reality, is finite. If its your choice to believe that's all there is to existence, that you one day blink off and are done, more power to you. You have zero way to know that's all there is or to say with certainty that what I believe is wrong based on the limitation of only your 5 senses. Conversely I have no way to know for certain there is anything after life. In different ways we both have faith. I can live with that.

                    Do watch the video it's an eye opener. It has nothing to do with the metaphysical, only the mentally deficient given undue legitimacy when confronted with factual science.

                    I could go into who is really valuing life more (I am not denying reason at all), but it's past 1:30 am here and kicking that ball off at this time isn't a good idea.

                      I think you're right; we've strayed from the video's subject. To me, the proper focus is on the rational man who is debating the nitwit. He is confident in his reasoning, he has principles, he won't get sidetracked. Of course, this is about metaphysical realities, and he identified the concrete bound mentality of his adversary when he said, 'you're making conclusions." A great essay on the subject is The Metaphysical vs. the Manmade.

                      It is common in contemporary culture for people to think of sense perception as limited and fallible. That is wrong. Human senses are what they are, and quite magnificent. They do not err; only the extent of one's knowledge and propositions may be in error. That can be corrected, with an active mind, which is also quite magnificent.

            Actually, it is to know what happens after death. That's something one can't reasonably arrive at. It must come from someone who has transcended it and has the power to gift that knowledge back.

              To know what happens after death is a non sequitur. Death is the end of consciousness. A rational life includes controlling whatever one can control. The Serenity Prayer if you wish. Regardless, to say that science and religion are compatible is a logical fallacy. Why do you persist in irrational arguments?

                I consider it irrational to want to cease to exist. Such a notion violates the basic premise of consciousness: self-preservation/continuation. If ever there was a non sequitur ...

                Additionally, morality ceases to exist if there is no purpose to existence. Every choice we make is built upon a premise of action -> consequence. If there is no consequence for poor behavior, there is no disincentive and therefore no reason not to loot. Every sustainable moral foundation depends upon ultimate universal consequence. Don't believe me? Try deriving the Golden Rule or a principle of equality in humanity without it. I can't do it and I've never met anyone else who could. Maybe you could be the first...

                "to say that science and religion are compatible is a logical fallacy."

                Why? Simply because the leftist elites say so? The Renaissance wasn't devoid of religion, just a break from the artificial constraints of the Catholic Church. Protestantism, however, flourished, as did those inventors and scientists who shook off the shackles imposed by the earth-centric and flat-earthers. The American Revolution was carried out by theists - not atheists.

                My favorite quote is from Jurassic Park and emphasizes the necessity for both religion and science: "Yeah, but your scientists were so concerned about whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should ." Science without moral constraint brought us COVID. Government without moral constraint brings us communism/socialism/elitism/feudalism and the murders of 200 million people. The why matters - and it matters a lot.

                  Yes, the first sentence is quite true. Every system of every living being is meant for its survival and vitality. For humans, the paramount system is reason. Your batting a thousand, no need to read the rest.

          Only an ignorant little turd would express pity on anyone who is their intellectual and spiritual superior. However, you give everyone here a fine example of the spectacle of mediocrity worship, of mocking the good for being good, of accepting the malevolent universe premise that you and your fellow travelers are poor dumb slobs whose lives would be chaos without submission to some supernatural authority. Regardless, honesty and wonder are wrapped in the truth of A is A. Objectivism recognizes the heroic potential of every human life, not kneeling and repentance.

            If you want to have a reasoned discussion, why do you ruin it with ad hominem?

            I don't believe in a "malevolent" universe. I believe in a universe of wonder and amazement where we get to choose what kind of people we will be. We get to choose to live according to universal moral laws - or not. And we only have so long to make those decisions and experience the consequences of them. It's a blessing to those who live by universal moral laws that this existence gives way to another: more grand and glorious. It's not such a blessing to those who choose to invent for themselves a selfish (and I use that to mean a "looting" life) because eventually those people will leave this life and have to deal with the consequences which were temporally (one could use temporarily but time doesn't have the same meaning there) delayed.

            Continuance of existence is a prime consideration for any sentient being. For the life of me (pun intended) I can't understand the notion that some people have where their existence terminates. Such a belief mocks existence itself IMHO.

            I don't believe that science and religion are at odds, either. Science describes the physical world in which we live. Religion covers the purposes for which we live. One the how, the other the why. Both necessary, like two sides of the same coin.

        I think the way to recover from this mentality is to follow the example of Howard Roark. Ignore them, dismiss them, be disinterested. As Roark said to Toohey, "but I don't think of you." These people will not recover, and they are not worth any sacrifice of our valuable time. The exception would be the use of force.

    It is impossible to argue with idiots -- at the foundation, these fools do not even know what constitutes an argument. It becomes very frustrating -- in particular if the actors partaking in the so-called argument consist of two individuals disagreeing without a moderator, audience or an intelligence that knows and understands how an argument is formed and defended. Just walk away, do not engage. The idiots will eventually stew and rot in the sludge of their own making.

    All of this insane horse shit will fall into the abyss when we begin to hit the energy cliff ... all of this shit is only possible as a result of the abundance and excess that is afforded via the application of capitalism... once the excess is spent, the luxury of believing in the efficacy of horse shit will vanish. 2025 will begin to see the energy cliff rollover. I will offer more on this topic later.

    Watching these videos could actually lower your IQ!No one knows science, esp. of gender. Women are more ditzy than before women's lib. It was supposed to go the other way! It seems the main theme among them is all is sexual identity, gals still come on to guys, then put them down like little Barbies. They need to sit in a restaurant and lsiten as divorced men talk about wanting a companion, with whom they can actually converse. These girls in these videos are like all dessert, now main course. The guys thing they can be trans and be woman, not even close. they have to steal parts from a woman and actually transition, then, they are like a Ford restroed with VW parts, no much good for naything.
