I heard this somewhere

At some point there was a discussion about vets and vietnam... Some say that returning vets received poor treatment is an urban legend.  I have for you some evidence

Genderalities

So gender identity politics list hundreds of genders?  Really? Is that the case or do I need to research the stats?  To say that science has identified anything more than two genders is just this: bad science.  My favorite case for this is genetics.  Mother has exactly 2 recessive X gender genes.  Father has exactly 2 genes (X from his mother and Y-dominant gene from his father).  There is nothing chauvinistic about this statement, just science.  Mother passes one X gene (her only available gene to pass) and Father passes the other.  Now for the fun stuff.

1. Gender ties uniquely to reproduction and propagation
2. Gender *confusion* is a result of perversion of the true state of humanity
3. For those who claim to be a new or transgender might change everything about their bodies to make them their gender of preference, the one thing that will never change and forever keep them their true gender is in the genes.  XX genes will always be XX and the same for XY.  No amount of opinion, preference, hormone treatment, or genital surgery will change that (refer to item 2.)
4. Just for the record, while it may be possible to disguise as another gender through all of these processes listed above, it is still just a disguise.  A guy trying to be a girl looks like a guy trying to be a girl, not a girl.  A girl trying to be a guy looks like a girl trying to be a guy, not a guy.
5. The whole pretend thing has led to folks being all mixed up about reality to the point that they want fantasy to become reality and in many cases think that it is reality.

Anyway, item 3 is what prompted me to drop this post.

Scientific Religion

*Draft*
More than 1/3 of ideas I write about wake me up in the morning or night.  Here is the back story for this post in general.  There are many arguments in the debate between "theists" and "atheists".  Two of these arguments I have heard from someone I know.  

Arguing Art

*draft*
There seems to be a great deal of bad logic going on around us.  I just pulled up about 5 sites (mostly .edu sites) to find fallacies and add them here so I can think through them for future reference... SO here we go:
This University of Texas Page is supposed to be a Fallacy Master List.  At 144, I would say it probably is.
I like this page because there is no scrolling required, but the names are flashy and might be a little confusing...

While these two samples seem to offer two extremes, Here is a site that provides an effective compromise
It looks like no discussion is free from fallacy.  I would like to see one so I know where to start.  Almost every approach to ideas fall into one of these categories

Prager U collection for Skeptics

Hi Everyone,
Prager U has some amazing material.  Here are links to a few:

God and Suffering
    -continuing the argument: https://www.str.org/articles/evolution-can-t-explain-morality

God vs Atheism, which is more rational

If there is no God, then murder isn't wrong

Does Science argue for or Against God

Does God Exist? 4 new arguments

Where do Good and Evil come from

What's a greater leap of faith: God or the Multiverse?

The Raven Paradox challenges the Scientific Method (not a Prager U video)

The Scientific Method challenges the Scientific Method (ditto)

Here's one from Ben Shapiro

A delayed 1984

Gotta make this very quick.  I think it is safe to say that we are in an Orwellian 1977 or 1979.  Kinda reminds me of the whole eclipse thing... The Google Memo is a case in point how free speech is only free for non-dissenters.  Our track is not for an unknown destination.  We all know where we are going.

Something to Say

This is probably the most lame reason to make a post; just to write something.  I have made a resolution to write something everyday.  It has been very hit and miss... but I have done more writing.   Anyway, this post is my writing project for today.  I do have one request, if any of you actually read these post, please post a comment so I can determine if there is an audience out there somewhere.  By the way, Someday, I hope to have a small sailboat to live aboard... Thanks for listening.

Adrift

In case you have been wondering why I haven't posted anything lately, I have actually been updating one of my posts regarding the conversation about the existence of God.  I have also been doing a deal of writing offline.  I am trying to muster the courage to start my venture of fiction writing, but so far, I have stalled... anyway, I am trying to decide how to introduce my other writing experiments... more on that later...

Some philosophy about relativity

It looks like someone has had this thought before... According to the relativity theory, a distant observer will see a traveler's time and movement slow as the traveler approaches the event horizon of a black hole.  Upon crossing the event horizon, the traveler will appear eternally paused at the event horizon edge to the observer.  Conversely, the traveler will observe that the passing of time increases for the observer as the traveler approaches the event horizon.

With that in mind, to the traveler, all of time would therefore be encapsulated and instantly completed upon his crossing the event horizon.

This impresses upon my mind the concept that heaven lies outside the realm of time and that once we arrive in heaven, all of time is already finished as if we were already present there while we view life here.  This is because from the point of view of heaven, the end of time has already passed.

It's only an idea, but I wonder how close the idea is to truth.
