I use the term "Christarians" instead of "Christians".
These are authoritarians using Christianity as a legitimizing identity.

Family Values are not about morality. It's about obedience to rules. Usually that means do what the father says. That's based in antiquated traditions. It's about maintaining power.
Or, it's about placating the sky fairy so your fate is more positive.

Rockets are one of the loudest objects on Earth. The Saturn V generated one of the loudest sounds in history, rivaling large volcanos.
This is why we will probably see most spaceports far away from cities.

@XSGeek
I doubt a single historical person that we consider "evil" ever thought that they were doing anything wrong.
Nonetheless, this topic is orthogonal to the OP.

No argument should proceed until you have assessed your moral position.
If there is none to consider (i.e. which software to implement), then move along.
If you are uncertain, then take stock of your current position and ask:
- Have I fully empathized with the person, animal, country, race, group, planet,...etc.., and incorporated that into my position?
- Has my opponent done the same?

Discussing the morality of a position might be the only common ground available.

This is an interesting group that often hosts virtual, group movies. Scientist discuss topics before and after. Maybe this could be streamed to the virtual movie room?

My Insert key is right above the Delete key -
a dangerous position for regular use.

I just got yelled at to take out the trash.
I think that's orthogonal to this list.

I'm hooked on the Logitech K740 illuminated keyboard.
Super-low profile.
Modest tactile feedback.
Plenty of space around the cursor keys.

Oh deer.

One of the characteristics of successful people is a belief in free will. Basically, that you are in control of your destiny.
A characteristic of all of the people I've met that never seem to get their shit together is a very strong belief in a spiritual being/force or "Universal Energy" that has great influence on their lives.
I now understand that they have been unsuccessful because they believe this other-worldly power needs to be placated, and they believe they are failing to do so.

When you have no moral bearing, logic will take you into many dark places.
If you know that you have no moral bearing, recognize that you may also lack discernment about the information you are using in your logic.
