I’d feel better if individualists were more inclusive towards collectivists.

I’m pretty sure you’ve done that yourself.

Indeed. Are you claiming that Trump is not a collectivist?

I think that may only be true in small groups and where there’s a culture conducive to cooperation. States are too large and abstract to feel a suffic...

You’re not sure about all this? You claimed it was true in theory AND practice, yet you don’t seem to be able to come up with a practice example, and ...

So, for example, if you declare a particular universal right you are expressing your primacy? Wouldn’t everyone need to agree with whatever right that...

Right, I’m curious how this works out in practice. Can you not give an example?

I suppose that I should have specified that my interest is in an example of the inclusive practice of individualisms affording primacy to each and eve...

If true, you should be able to give an example of this in practice.

Because the others have no rights or they have all rights?

Wait, you're supposed to tip the Amazon guy? :yikes:

Beliefs and practices, in my experience.

No, you said it yourself. You clearly wrote: “I don't have a gender identity and apparently that is being called ’Agender.’”

You’re Agender but don’t identify as Agender??? :chin:

Are you suggesting that being trans is necessarily deceitful?

The intent to deceive?

The point is that we make many distinctions automatically. If a man looks like a man but behaves exactly like a woman then we tend to think of them as...

No, conmen exist because they are willing deceive and cheat others, taking advantage of the cooperative aspects of society for their own selfish gain.

Then you agree that transgender people should have equal rights. :up:

For the first little mouse the end was a cat-astrophe.

Maybe if you study the topic sufficiently you’ll no longer feel compelled argue against trans-rights.

This part does not ring true because from the very beginning we’re made self-conscious. It’s also a very very wide stretch to presume that we might fe...
