@Justicar I will answer this question but will neither confirm nor deny any statements or queries about my ethnicity.

If there is no problem with their behavior, there is no problem with them. Culture and values matter more to me than race matters to me.

@sickburnbro This is a mad, mad world, and it is good to be here.

@Escoffier That is quite the statement. Mythically powerful. Who else but C.S. Lewis?

@Squadalah_Man @Xenophon @ForbiddenDreamer It's easy-on-crime laws and welfare more than race. See Rowand for a counter example. I will not argue with anyone one this if they are not willing to listen to reason.

@Xenophon She's not even correct according to any Bible. Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Esther, Noah all were not Jews.

@Shlomo They called the missile, the "Palestine-2".

@KingOfWhiteAmerica Gnosticism is absolutely a broad term, yes, one which covered a wide range of theological topics.

@white_male @Shlomo
The laws of economics do not change according to scale or circumstance. Minimum wage does not help people weather inflation.

If by "minimum wage" they merely mean the minimum measured amount people are paid, then, I agree. That could have been caused by economic growth, but "minimum wage" in this case based on the lines included and in almost every case where the term is used means legislation.

@white_male @Shlomo Minimum wages do not help the economy grow, they act as a price floor for wages, meaning price controls.

@Shlomo This will just put more low-skill Iranians out of work.

@Justicar I do highly recommend thinking about this more, yes. Consider that no one makes a transaction, whether employment, social, or mercantile, unless they believe it will benefit them more by taking the deal. The employer would not hire and pay someone unless they were getting more utility from doing so than by not doing so. Looking at value as something quantifiable is an error without a medium of expressing that value. It sounds like your concerned with what people feel is impactful most.

I was considering the Orthodox Christian fathers today while doing some research into mystical practice. When reading about them and looking at icons of them, all of them have beards, young and old. Stylistic restrictions on iconography considered, recognize the type of the theologian and the mystic: a male who is undoubtedly male who writes about his experience with the Divine. There are under 100 female saints, but they are not the drivers of spiritual standards in Orthodoxy...

@Justicar Would you say that producing creative works is necessarily for others as a condition of it being the purpose to life, or could one create for the sake of creation?

@UncleIroh @sardonicsmile True. The ideology of control rather than cooperation.
