I knew. I was at one of the protests.

However, the law doesn't talk about genotype. It talks about gametes. Embryos don't produce gametes. The law does not specify a difference.

Reality has always been crafted by the oppressor. It's an inherently oppressive concept. http://soulism.net/

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. Then I realised I could spend My life meeting strange new otherkin right here on earth.

I believe that we can know things. I just don't believe we can know things objectively. We need a better standard for knowledge than objectivity, because objectivity is worthless.

To claim something doesn’t exist, based on the inductive principle, is to wave away the entire universe with a flick of the wrist as your opening argument.

I would encourage you to read My antirealist manifesto, which argues that reality is a harmful social construct. I'd also like to pre-empt any accusation that antirealism is anti-science, by pointing out My articles advocating for an antirealist future to the application of the scientific method. I in fact believe that any kind of claim to the existence of absolute or objective knowledge is anti-science, and frankly comes uncomfortably close to the inappropriate application of mysticism. You are right when you say that focusing on the tiny chance that we are wrong isn't pragmatic. Which is why so much of My writing focuses on pragmatism as a better epistemological method than empiricism and rationalism applied for the sake of truth over utility. When I say death is a social construct, I am not saying it's a useless idea, simply because it's untrue. I value usefulness over truth, and death is certainly much more useful than it is true.

Don't worry, I'm still on team "Janeway is a racist and a transphobe"

 

While I am not personally an atheist, this was the only religion-centered community I could find to post this article, and surely we polytheists and atheists can find a united purpose in condemning monotheistic bias.
