People try to do right by each other, no matter the motivation, study finds

@Phairnix
1) Wouldn't that depend on how you define physical reality?
2) Is that a presupposition that only "ideas" make a meat shell more than just a meat shell?
3) Exactly.
4) Is it necessary to be indifferent to be able to observe without judgement? Can one not stop a robber while simultaneously holding that the robber is doing the best he knows how?
5) Intent is always the first step in creation, is it not?
6) Isn't it unhealthy to be attached to money?
7) In the context of guaranteeing human rights? Are systems necessary for humans to respect each other?
8) Is it unjust for the lion to eat the zebra? Or the man to eat the squid? Is justice relevant for either?
9) Ah yes. A modification is in order. All searching is in vain. As long as one searches, one is not finding. The mind that focuses on finding is not focused on searching.
10) What is a squid of a question?

@akeno
Well, our bodies contain about 5 trillion human cells, on the order of 50 trillion bacteria, and on the order of 380 trillion viruses. I'm pretty sure SARS-COV-2 actually is a virus, but... so?

@Phairnix
1) Is there any such thing as not being? Or only shedding the physical shell?
2) Is it not being human to take on this form of meat shell and be in the state of forgetting that you're far more than the meat shell itself?
3) Are divisions of "us" and the "other" not artificial?
4) Do you not see human rights respected? Do you not also see them ignored? Some actors play the villain, some play the victim, some don't play that particular game and simply observe without judgement.
5) The human right is to have possession of the property one has created. There is no human right to take the property someone else has created.
6) Do you see health and money as a field upon which only a zero sum game can exist? Did health not exist before money?
7) The same one you referred to as "systematically."
8) Is justice not largely subjective and situational? Is there a cosmic writing somewhere that defines a universal objective "justice?"
Is punishment even relevant to justice? And on a further level, is justice even remotely relevant to enlightenment.
9) Everyone who takes the time to search.
10) This meat shell has never consumed a squid meat shell.

@Phairnix
1) to be
2) Human beings be human
3) Since I am being human, I am with humans.
4) Human rights
5) Property IS a human right.
6) Health IS economy
7) By removing the system and simply allowing human beings being human
8) What?
9) I do
10) When I am being squid, I do. When I am being human, I do not.

"Don't disrespect people; if they disrespect you then block them and move on."

Contradicts new policy that one can't block staff. I've unblocked @freemo

@freemo @design_RG

"always"

It's almost as if you don't know that words actually have meanings.

The reply thing is unintentional, but you won't have to worry about it anymore. No scientist would ever use "order of magnitude" so cavalierly. It's almost as if you don't know what it means. Will blocking you prevent me from seeing you in notifications? Guess I'll find out.

> there is also over exageration

> we still know it is many orders of magnitude worse than the flu

That's rich.

But do you trust CBS any more than you trust twitter?

Italy has excellent air quality???
Really?

"Polish and Italian populations breath dangerously polluted air, a new report by the Swiss air monitoring platform IQAir shows. According to the research, among the continent’s 100 worst cities for air quality, 29 are in Poland and 24 in Italy."

> Italy has excellent air quality,

Sure it does.

"Indeed, 84,400 premature deaths have been registered in Italy,"

"In Northern Italy, [where most of the COVID deaths were] including big cities like Milan and Turin, has some of the worst pollution in all of Europe."

"Polish and Italian populations breath dangerously polluted air, a new report ..."

You obviously have a huge ego, and an unfathomable confirmation bias. As I've said before (without calling you a flat earther), rational discussion seems beyond your grasp. Though I'll probably post stuff you'll disagree with, I'm most probably through answering your uninformed assertions.
