Civilization is my country


 * When you’re accustomed to, equality feels like oppression

You see what you want to see and if you truly want to see what the facts say when they are allowed to speak for themselves then you will indeed see that too.

Truly wanting to see what the facts say when they are allowed to speak for themselves is called objectivity. Objectivity is what separates humans from animals.

Humans evolved from fish but humans are not fish. Humans evolved from animals but humans are not animals.

An objective person is a person who understands that the universe does not revolve around their ego.

Civilization

 * Equal rights. Equal protection. Equal pay for equal work. Equal punishment for equal crimes.

But treating everyone as equals is not the same thing as treating everyone exactly the same. If we treated everyone the way that extroverts want to be treated then people who are introverted would suffer. Treating everyone as if they were exactly the same is pseudo-civilization.

Civilization is an emergent property that arises whenever you have a large number of objective human beings interacting with one another.

Civilization and objectivity are the only important things. Everything else in life is just a matter of personal preference. As long as you are civilized and objective then you should, within certain broad limits, be free to live the way you want surrounded by other like-minded individuals (and separated from all the people that dont want to live the same way you do).

Sin
Some people insist that they can do anything they want and that they cannot be charged with sin because in their minds humans are just animals and animals cant sin. But the truth is that neither humans nor animals can sin because "sin" is a figment of peoples imagination.

It is true that nothing is a sin but some behaviors are uncivilized. They are uncivilized when people engage in them and they are just as uncivilized when animals engage in them.

Good and bad
Nothing is good or bad per se. Rather, things are good for certain things and bad for certain things. You must always specify what it is good or bad for.
 * Some things are good for life and some things are bad for life.
 * Some things are good for you and some things are bad for you.
 * Some things are good for civilized society and some things are bad for civilized society.

Confusion
But unfortunately we live on a planet where:
 * Reason is confused with Philosophy
 * Civilization is confused with Politics
 * Objectivity is confused with Morality and Religion
 * Legitimate psychological insights are confused with mysticism.
