Bullshit.
The institution of marriage rose as a means to regulate (legally and morally) the proprietary rights of clans.
If X family marries into Y family, Y family will belong to X, and vice-versa.

Procreation has nothing to do with marriage, what is related to marriage is the rights the ruling clan (family) retains over the children. But procreation per se is not the purpose of marriage.

For procreation per se, read on Coitus, consensual or not.

It sounds somewhat reasonable when you blindly agree with what he says, but it's a lot of biased bullshit to agree with his point.

Neither being against or in favor of marriage between same-sex. Just stating the facts that were bent for his conclusions.

to be fair, it's not the stats that throw people off. In fact, I think the average person has a pretty good grasp on the basic principles of statistics. Each case just has a lot of subtle nuisances that you only learn to look for in general but can be easily missed still. For example, the distinction between single and never married was something I didn't really think about while she was speaking. You're even less likely to look for those things if the data agrees with you. It's not an education problem, it's an honesty problem.

so i hope im getting this right, so

well first he is right about what he says.
but the structure of the marriage and why its there isnt the point.

the point is that where there is unfair rules, for no reason, leaving people out, and enough attention should be put towards the issue, to resolve it.

and it shouldnt be blatandly ignored, just becouse they cant make children.

hell 2 parents that adopt, are way better for the world as a whole, than parents making children.

becouse the world is grossly overpopulated.

He's saying that marriage is socially constructed around conception alone. This is in response to gay marriage rights. Since same sex couples can't procreate, marriage has no function in homosexual relationships.

The only reason gay marriage is called for is because heterosexuals have that right but gays do not.

>>1714445
so its kind of a philosophy built around the frustration of mortality?

you might as well get sad when you buy a chocolate, becouse eventually you are done eating it anyway.

>>1715087
there is no reason i can see, that a gay couple with an adopted baby, needs to be any difference than a straight couple with a baby.

they could be in the exact same financial situation and social situation, dealing with the same things.

they both have a family of two, and a kid to feed. i just dont see it.

is it the birth thats the key to the mystery? and if so why?

also you can say picking up a flower isnt important, so people dont need rights to do that.

well thats not the point, it should never be dissallowed to begin with, becouse there is no proper reason for it.

>>1715098
People will tend to feel that adoption just cannot be the same as procreation. There are several things involved in the latter that the former cannot offer, such as blood relations and direct genes. At that point there is a certain familiarity with which obligations come, out of which marriage arises.

I agree with you on your point about adoption and marriage, because, against marriage due to child bearing, there's hardly any difference. Marriage is a social construct in any context.

also,
>also you can say picking up a flower isnt important, so people dont need rights to do that.
>well thats not the point, it should never be dissallowed to begin with, becouse there is no proper reason for it.
You almost answered that question yourself. Keep running that question over in your mind, and you'll eventually see how arbitrary most traditions are, functions of which are mostly entirely social constructs. You ask why, others will say because.
It's unfortunately that fucking simple.

Children of gay parents are more likely to become mentally ill than children of straight parents. Crazy as it may seem, some people think homosexuality is a mental illness. What a coincidence!

>>1715098

putting a child into mentally ill and sick family with twisted sense of family dynamic that is between a man and a woman, raising it to accept all deviations and forms.

>>1715098
The rights of a homosexual couple in this circumstance are totally irrelevant. The only person's rights which have any relevance are those of the child, and they have a right to a nuclear family. Life outcomes for kids raised by gay parents are significantly worse than kids raised by straight parents.
About the *only* situation that's worse for the future prospects of a child is being raised by a single mother. Even being raised in foster care is better than a single mother.

>>1715087
>gay rights
Are gays their own species right now? Unless you can somehow identify a gay person without him telling you or doing something gay in front of you, the whole "Gay rights" is a total misnomer.

The government has no stake in homosexuals or them pretending to be married or a family. They have a tax incentive for marriage because producing children benefits the economy. If you can't produce children, the government has no interest. And currently, the government does not recognize these relationships for obvious reasons. No one is being "denied" anything. Anymore than someone is denied their waifu rights because the government doesn't recognize you marrying your 2d pure virgin Mongolian picture girl.

We all know what "gay rights" is really about.

then you are either hopelessly niave or hopelessly idealistic. I can say as someone who was raised by a single mother that even a slight deviation from the nuclear family is an infringment on the rights of a child. For fuck sake, the religious right wasn't bullshitting about the slippery slope.

Right. So they just absorb everything near them into nothingness? Non-existance? Wtf is that? It's probably straight forward but I'm finding it a hard concept to grasp. Always been intrested.

>>1715288
This will be a bit simplified and maybe outright incorrect here and there, but it should help you understand.

Okay, so you know how the sun (and any other star) as well as planets and shit are so massive that they attract other things. And they attract shit stronger the closer it is. I.e. gravity. So if a comet is close enough to earth, it will fall down.
A "black hole" is no different. It's a star like the sun. Except it's so massive that even light/radiation, if it's close enough (the border is the event horizon) will "fall down".
It's not going anywhere, it doesn't stop to exist, it's just there in/on the black hole like a meteorite that crashes on earth doesn't "stop existing" but is just there on the surface.
But since we need to receive some signal to know about something (i.e. energy wave from somewhere reflected off the surface of a star to our telescopes), we can't "see" black holes because nothing is being reflected back.

Imagine our sun having such a strong gravitational force that all light it emits can't escape and "falls back down". and everything you send there (like radio waves) doesn't reflect back. It would still be round, still do its thing, but it would simply be a black "hole" because you can't get any information reflected back.

>>>1715297
>>1715288
And I forgot, "gravitational lensing" would be light from behind the black hole that's not quite close enough to get caught getting bent like a comet in an elliptical orbit.

>>1715288
Assuming it's big enough, see interstellar that's basically how it works. It's not possible to know what would happen if you get too close but it's easy to speculate, since the closer you get the quicker time will pass for us, then the most obvious outcome would be that if you get to the event horizon (without dying) time will pass so fast for us that billions of trillions of years will happen in just a second for you thus reaching the "end" the universe, so much time will pass that even the black hole that eated you would be evaporated by hawking radiation and there will be nothing left in the universe. But that's why they say you will stop existing, if nobody can reach you ever again then you don't exist for us anymore, and you can't get back so we don't exist for you. It's a win-win situation

Asia is grossly overpopulated. And that doesn't include the North or Centre, which are colossal. Europe doesn't have close to a billion inhabitants. India has well over a billion and is a third of the size, despite its land being of a lesser quality. The USA and Canada are almost twice the size of Europe, over 6 times the size of India, and has half the population Europe has. Africa is set to outstrip Asia in the next 75-100 years, while Europeans decrease in number.

The ignorant say that the world is overpopulated, but they don't know that only two continents are overpopulated. The future will mean letting hundreds of millions die as the task of feeding them becomes insurmountable. We never had the chance to stop it. There is no use in crying over spilled milk.

>>1715288
>So they just absorb everything near them into nothingness? Non-existance?

Technically, they don't any longer. Stephen Hawking proved that black holes actually emit energy, which means that black holes eventually evaporate if they don't have any mass close enough to consume.

Tough to compress: part 1 of hopefully 2

>>1716171
Social Justice and Feminism are amoral endeavors.

Social Justice is the idea that you have to treat people differently, based on which group they're a member of, in order to achieve "equality." Equality is neither just nor desirable. As every person is different, different outcomes among individuals are inevitable. Furthermore, treating people differently, or giving them different privileges or rights, based on group membership is immoral. Have you learned nothing from MLK?

Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights and privileges based on the idea that women are equal to men. Not only do we see that word equal pop up again, but feminism also concerns itself exclusively with women's issues. Favoring one gender over another is immoral, and so feminism was immoral from the get-go. See the Declaration of Sentiments, one of the earliest feminist documents, for proof of just how biased, dogmatic, and anti-male that feminism has always been, at its roots.

But all of the above is irrelevant to your challenge. If you believe that morality is relative, then you can't believe any endeavor could be explicitly moral. Otherwise, morality would no longer be relative. If you don't believe that, consider that a person who truly follows moral relativism will do whatever they decide to do whether it is moral or not. Postmodernism is not about amorality, but the total death of morality as an objective concept. It's about the death of objectivity as a concept at all. And that way lies destruction.

That's not true at all, marriage was constructed on the basis of procreation, to create a family structure over the entire population that allows them to grow as a whole focusing on the most important resource for survival, children/procreation. That's why over the course of history the family structure has been granted benefits, land and stock in biblical times and tax brakes modernly.

What you described are constructs that use the already established concept of marriage for social/Political reasons, and obviously nothing to do with what marriage is in PRINCIPLE.

With increasing technological development, especially regarding how people will technically improve their minds, network with others, and the advent of AI, the social structure of dependence on the sacrificial work of males will fade away. Even if we were to maintain a deeply physical nature and maintain sexuality and all that, the particular relationship between males and power will very likely radically change because w are redefining the nature of dependence and how we interrelate.
Similarly, the intentional killing of people is related to power and the limited nature of our minds. When that power is expanded and the nature of property and family and self is altered, the connection we have to our more primal ancient selves will further wither away. The part that is related to monkeys because monkeys operate within a limited earthly environment, whereas we are increasingly liberating ourselves form those constraints.

I remember the last time man tried to create something that supercedes their biological/social being
it resulted in Nationalsocialism, Communism and over 35 Million deaths alltogether. it is not the axiom that we live by

man cannot divorce himself from the soil on which he grew on, no matter the technological advances, because you lived with the soil as did your entire ancestry, it is your mother as it was theirs and it nourished your entire being and will do so for eternity
that which is kin to a different mother cannot be man

it's the price we pay for consciousness, some people will be conscious of the fact that they can kill and take everything they want, but what are you going to do? remove all consciousness? man will always find a way for malice to take place as long as there is consciousness, there is no question about it, you can change the playing field but the player remains but a man
so what are you going to do about that? change the man? like the nazis did? like the communists did? a new system? either way I'll be able to make a precise prediction about what's going to happen to the new system, because it is not the system we were sculpted to inhabit for billions of years

Imagine you are standing on Earth. It's a nice day. You jump up, and come down again. You get in a large rocket and it blasts off with a lot of force. It takes that much force for you to escape from the Earth (that is, go up so fast you don't fall back down) because the Earth has more mass and thus, more gravity.

Imagine you are standing on the sun. It is hot. The sun has a lot of mass. You will need a very big rocket to reach the speed at which you will not fall back into it. This is your escape velocity.

Imagine you are on a very large, massive star. Not the sun. No, the sun is tiny. We're talking really, really large now. Your rocket needs to go even faster to take off. There's a formula for it. Oh boy, you have to go really fast. But because this star is LARGE as well as massive, most of the mass of the star is not close to you, so its gravity doesn't pull on you so hard.

Now take that whole massive star, and compact it down to a small size. Imagine, the size of a house. Now you're screwed. You can't get away from that house, because it is both massive and tiny. All that mass so close together is impossible to get away from at any speed. Your rocket will never be powerful enough. In fact, you'd have to be going faster than the speed of light to get away from it.

That's what a black hole is. It's a massive star that ran out of fuel use for nuclear fusion, so gravity compacted all the star's mass together and so it becomes so massive and tiny that it now has an escape velocity that is faster than the speed of light. That means that even light will not be able to get away from it, which is why it's "black".

TLDR; It's so dense and the pull of gravity is so strong that the escape velocity is faster than the speed of light, radiowaves, etc.

>>1715275
They're a gigantic concentration of extremely condensed matter. As a result, their gravitational pull is insane and not even light can escape, so there's nothing to reflect. That's why they're called holes. In actuality, they're the opposite of a hole.

>>1715275

To knowhere.

Its not that I know it or not but think about it, to get into a black hole you have to be teared apart from the very molecules that form you, that means that any kind of sensor will lose any integrity before it can inform of whats "behind" and not even waves would return.

So studying black holes requires either magic or a totally different approach, but for know we can assume that there is nothing "behind" a black hole, your atoms would get absorbed by the black hole or dispersed into the nothingness of space and thats all.

If there is actually something is out of our perception and understanding, and as such meaningless for no empiric evidence can provide us with knowledge.

There's something called "Escape velocity" in physics, is the speed that an object needs to escape certain gravitational field.

The escape velocity required in a black hole is bigger than the light speed, thus light (and everything) get's trapped inside.

im surprised that of all the response comments to this there hasnt been a single one commenting on the lack of self sustainabilty a homossexual marriage has over a heterossexual marriage has, for even by comparing the two you have to insert a child of a heterossexual couple onto the gay couple, something that can only work synthetically as a result of a failed heterosexual coupling that resulted in an unwanted child (adoption) or by synthetic heterosexual fecundation (in vitro fertilization)

I think until there is a way for homossexual self sustainabilty, equalling marriage (that has been previously explained to come from the principle of regulating procreation) on both scenarios changes the core definition of the word, making it worthless (has in a way it has alredy become in developed countries)

>>1715275
short answer is nowhere, long answer I am not fully sure

What I do know is that information cannot come out of a black hole after it has gone in. Everything is kind of trapped in there pretty much. The actuality of black holes is we can't really know whats going on inside of them but we can get a decent sense of how they work.

Large visible solar masses (a majority of the universe we can't see and is classified under dark matter and dark energy) are pretty much controlled by black holes. Galaxies and galaxy clusters (a simple but bad explanation of this is a galaxy of galaxies) are in orbit of them. Essentially we know what they do but it's pretty impossible to understand what is going on inside of those things. And it's hard to think something is because the gravity is too strong for light, however they can have electrical charge if I remember correctly. I might be wrong on a lot of this though.

However, black hole temperature(and thus black body emissions) is inversely proportional to surface area which means larger black holes are cooler and more stable. If a black hole has any more mass than about the earth's moon (about 0.11 mm in diameter), then natural background radiation will more than make up for loss in mass and HEAVILY delay evaporation. Also, this is why smaller black holes are not seen and, if created, would behave like a nuclear bomb where the rest mass freed in a conventional bomb pit would be equal to the mass of the hole.
So if you compressed 5 grams of matter into a black hole, the hard gamma rays and various flavors of photon released would be like a 50 megaton nuclear explosion, once it absorbed into the surrounding air and plasmised it. This is also why it's stupid to think CERN could kill us all by making a black hole oit of some gold particles.

>Are they made up of matter?
Yes, just like everything else.
>Where is the strong gravitational force coming from?
From the matter. All but a few types of particles have mass, which is the gravity "charge." Everything with mass attracts everything else with mass.
>What makes their gravitational force so insanely attractive?
The fact that they have so much mass.
To be clear, there's nothing special about their gravitational force compared to any other object, it's just that so much mass has come together in such a tiny place that not even light can escape. If our sun were replaced with a black hole of the same mass, our solar system would continue moving along as if nothing happened. The black hole would just be taking up a lot less space than the sun did. Also there wouldn't be any light : (

Man, it's so crazy knowing the universe could just destroy us all through so many ways, in just an instant. And since we know so little about the universe, there could be things out there we don't know about that could destroy us whenever.
It's a bit of a terrifying prospect, but at the end of the day it's pointless to worry about stuff you can't control. It's best just to observe these events as they happen calmly, kind of like guy in this video. He knows we could potentially die any day now, but he doesn't sound distressed explaining this.
Hopefully we don't die tomorrow, but even if we do, I hope our understanding of the universe is raised just a little before being destroyed entirely.

The potential for WR104 to destroy earth was fear-mongered by the pop-science press around 2008.

The idea has since been discredited though. Further investigations since then have given more accurate estimates on the actual trajectory of the theorised gamma-ray burst (GRB), which should miss Earth by as much as 45 degrees some say. Of course the GRB needs to occur in the first place, and most astrophysicists now estimate the likelyhood to be as low as 1%. Finally, assuming these two prerequisites were met, the GRB would need to occur at a time and in such a way the GRB would be 'broad enough'; that is, containing enough energy, to actually reach our solar system with sufficient destructive force. This can only be estimated too of course.

Either way, its true that events like this could very well be the likely cause of a mass extinction event here. So yeah, scary stuff. It just probably won't be WR104.

Nice way to put it, but this is only the beginning.

What i still struggle to understand is the 'hole' aspect and how that relates to the geometric "funneling" of spacetime into a gravitational singularity, a 'point/location' where the gravity field is infinite. This in non-spinning black holes though. Spinning black holes have ringed singularity's and the maths predicts that these represent what could be considered a 'worm hole'. Therefore, simply being crushed under the gravitational tide isn't necessarily the outcome in every case. We also have the idea that our entire universe BEGAN as a singularity. Is this the same singularity? What type is this singularity?

Black holes are pretty much the frontier of astrophysics, they open up so many questions ans possibilities that it boggles the mind. I've yet to watch a documentary that fully explains the nature of these damn things.

>>1717083
That's just like, your opinion man.

>>1721931
I take issue with this one. A series of specific events need to occur to produce a dangerous gamma ray burst. First, one needs to occur at all. Though these stars will certainly go supernova, we don't know with any certainty that they will produce sustained gamma ray emissions. Even if they do, the gamma rays are released in jets emanating on the star's pole. If the pole isn't aimed very precisely at Earth then we won't receive a high enough concentration of radiation for it to matter. We also don't know the star's precise orientation, so the best we can do is guess. The stream of gamma rays also has to be focused properly. If the jet is too wide we get only a light dose of radiation, if it is too narrow(and therefore less likely to be aimed precisely enough to hit us) a massive dose of radiation will streak harmlessly past us. I personally won't lose any sleep over WR 104.

Ever really think about how much of whats on TV influences your daily life?
How many times have you heard someone in school repeat a joke from the Simpsons or South Park? I suppose things like Family Guy, American Dad, or whatever is current might hit home more if you're younger. Some brightly colored spastic display on Cartoon Network I'm sure. Not to mention the Kardashians and all that horrid celebrity trash.
I have probably heard thousands of lines of TV dialog repeated by peers throughout my life. Senselessly. Without purpose. One single instant and the TV leaves a permanent impact on culture, though this impact could not at all be seen as positive. This sort of thing spreading is no different from a contagion. Its said that one can never read too many good books, or conversely too few poor ones. The notion of a kind of mental junk which pollutes the mind is not new, but it is a pitfall we've ever been prey too. Having something without meaning occupy space in the mind is something no one would say sounds good in theory, but the masses voluntarily indulge in hours of drivel every day for their entire lives.

I haven't much watched TV for the better part of a decade now. I can't say I've missed it. I do however find it somewhat cute that we openly call the broadcast schedule for TV "programming."

>cancer cells aren't immortal

Oh yes they are. Take HeLa cells for example. The patient from who those cells were taken has been dead for almost 70 years, yet her cancer cells are still extensively used in biomedical research.

>They arent very well understood

Also wrong. We know that cancer cells are cells that are able to circumvent division "security checks", e.g. cell cycle arrest and DNA repair mechanisms, and are able to immortalize themselves by continuously activating telomerase. The problem with cancer cells is their extreme proliferation rate and adaptivity. You might be able to kill 99.999% of a tumor with a certain drug, but if there is even one cancer cell in there that by chance acquired some neat new trick out of its endless genetic toolkit, it is able to survive and form a new tumor.

Selfishness is newspeak for self preservation which in not immoral. Ayn Rand's philosophy is that people should not be forced to labor for the sake of others by the government which exactly what taxation for social issues is. It's not immoral to be anti-authoritarian. Everybody is "selfish". The politicians and philanthropist that hide behind virtue only do it for three reasons.

1. It makes them feel important

2. To shame you into submitting to authority

3.To inflate their own sense of security by criticizing others

Ayan Rand's philosophy is that everyone just needs to mind their own fucking business and stop lobbying for a government to act against the people we don't like.

There are people who are actually altruistic. That happens. Claiming there are none to support some sad emo view of humanity or to justify your own inadequacy and selfishness is just.. sad and emo.
Cut that out.
>lets just say everyone is selfish because i feel too weak and vulnerable when trying to empathise and help others ;_;
Extreme example: people immideately helping children even if it costs them their own life. You can try to redefine that as selfishness, because they are just doing what they want to.. but that is just playing retarded wordgames.

>Extreme example: people immideately helping children even if it costs them their own life.

Two issues with this example

1. What children? Their children, or any children? What happens in the situation where they have to choose to save either their own children or another's? If alturism exists, the individual would save another's children and sacrifice their own, for the sake of the other children and their parents. If selfishness reigns, then their own children are the obvious choice.

2. You could also argue that this is linked into biological preservation (ie of their genetic code). Our offspring represent the continuation of our genes and again represents a selfishness.


I feel like a better example of altruism would be martyrdom. To sacrifice one's own life for their belief in a certain virtue or cause - something which they themselves won't reap the benefits of, but others (in the future) will (people they can't possibly know).

But again there can be muddiness to this as well. If the person believes they are going to heaven (reward), is it true altruism? If they are doing it because they really love their country or hate their enemy, the act in itself may be pleasurable. What if they lived a sucky life and wanted to die anyway? It seems to be me that the person (the hero) cannot benefit from the act in anyway, in order for it to be a truely altruistic act. And scenarios like this are rare in reality.

>You can try to redefine that as selfishness, because they are just doing what they want to.. but that is just playing retarded wordgames

You are trying to conflate "acting according to their (altruistic) nature" with "act only from a concious calculation of their own pleasure and benefit". Stop that. Parents sacrificing for their kids is just "natural programming" and therefore can be redefined as selfish? C'mon now. And if you save your kids first, that's not selfish, that is *for your kids*. The fact that your mind automaticly jumpes to them as the first thing to protect doesn't all of a sudden erase the sacrifice the parents are making.

No, i was hurt and disadvantaged by my situation, but I rose above it and did the best I could for myself because I'm not a retarded libshit who blames the world for my problems. I learned from the mistakes of my parents, and did the best to avoid it in my own life.
We can't control our circumstances, but we should hold no bullshit ideas about whats healthy and good for a child. Being single mother is almost all the time not as good as a stable father-mother family unit.
