I was somewhat frustrated that you seem to be dodging the deeper ethical question I’m posing directly to you.
You keep saying we need to consider the risks and ethical implications and such but I’m asking you to do that right now. Let’s assume this hypothetical cure for DS and other birth defects is as safe and effective as any other approved medication. Should we pro-actively prune and prevent children from ever experiencing it?
English
@RedGnosis @starblind1988 @annamlulis You reached out with genuine curiosity and stated it wasn’t to offend. If I give a ‘fence-sitting answer, nothing wrong with the fact that I prefer to know if such thing exists, what would be the complications that come with it if any.

WATCH:
Artemis II pilot Victor Glover hugs Fox News host’s baby with Down syndrome, Valentina—humanizing children like her.
80% of babies with the condition are aborted in the US
This child, with an extra chromosome, is valuable and worthy of life.

@a4IMsq47Eu62249 Not as common as a Texan would like. It is an expensive novelty for most, but some do indeed use them professionally for mass extermination

@appathfinders Pistol first, rifle second. This is the logical economic progression for the avg Brokie & learning pistol basics will translate well to rifle whereas sometimes rifle shooters don’t know proper pistol handling.
English
What is more important for the average person? Pistol competency or rifle competency?
English
We are considering the ethical implications at this very moment. The very question was ethical by its nature.
I think you give too much of a fence-sitting conclusion. It would obviously be desirable to reduce the amount of birth defects in our society if it were possible and widely available.
English
@RedGnosis @starblind1988 @annamlulis I think it could be seen as desirable by different people to reduce suffering however, it’s crucial to consider ethical implications and diverse experiences of individuals with disabilities. Informed choices, support and resources is a must.

@eddieblake448 @ChoochSkookum The purpose is easy to find with a simple search query. If doing this is too difficult for you I recommend ignoring space flight and resting your head on your bed and not worrying about it
English
@ChoochSkookum The purpose is a mystery. Was it a test case for something bigger or just for a Guinness world record or something?
I didn't even know they were going around the farside until they'd already done it.

We flew around the moon for the first time in more than 50 years and no one cares. What does that say about society?

Another big part of solving this puzzle was SpaceX’s revolutionary Self-Returning Rocket Booster, Falcon 9 and now Starship. Finding a way to dramatically drive down the total cost per fight is in the grand scheme just as important as any other scientific discovery which has been made for the cause.
Whether you like Elon or not, cringe as he may be, the perfection of this technology is a key driver of American dominance in Space Launch capability

The distance is vast, sure, but it can be traversed relatively efficiently.
You don’t have to thrust in space to move, because you already moved a shit load and raised your velocity to even get into space.
The difference between LEO and the Moon is only a few tons of fuel and a few minutes of burning to reshape the orbital trajectory.
HOWEVER the difference between touching down on the moon for a few hours, and LIVING on it, is massive. That’s why we haven’t returned (returning for another space walk with no realistic plan for long term colonization was not worth it).
But because of the resounding success of the International Space Station mission, we now know a lot more about how to live long term, grow food, exercise, and maintain our bodies for long term colonization of the Moon, which is the next step in the Artemis Program.

i cant believe you guys actually believe this
Hernan Cortes@CyberPunkCortes
In 1971 the crew of Apollo 15 left a mirror on the surface of the Moon. Astronomers on Earth calculate the precise distance between the Earth and Moon by hitting the mirror with a laser and measuring the time it takes to return to Earth.

@rirokpik I wish Black People loved White People the way they loved living in White people’s countries.

@queenie4rmnola Black people accomplishments:
>Put us on the Moon
>Built the Pyramids
>Built America
>Invented everything white people say they did
And all while being enslaved by the Arabs, the White man, now the Chinese.
So amazing!

Would have never made it to the moon without Black women

This was more possible during the early 2000’s right before the 2012-2016 culture shift.
Just like Crew Member Victor Glover pointed out when asked a question about representation, the true ideal here would be young black children, women, men, etc NOT NEEDING to see someone exactly like themselves to be inspired.
In fact it would hypothetically be even better to be inspired by someone who doesn’t look like yourself, according to the humanist perspective.
The culture which developed later which we now begrudgingly label “Woke”, focused on spotlighting failures of the humanist system too hard. The system was flawed, of course, but it was actually moving toward a point of greater unity and cohesion before the culture shift.
It was not until the explosion of media pieces, public campaigns, and academic voices in law, government, and entertainment supporting punitive, retroactive social justice measures to correct for police brutality incidents, women’s comfort in online spaces (especially gaming), the Metoo movement and other similar heated cultural moments that large swathes of the pretty well indoctrinated populace started to turn and adopt increasingly reactionary views (Nativism, Manosphere, race realism, and what we could broadly call “Anti-wokeness”)
To put it plainly, if we are going to move past nativism, racism, sexism, etc in favor of a humanist society, we have to not also overly praise and put on pedestal these same “marginalized” groups.
There must be true belief that we are all one and that no one is special, which actually deeply conflicts with the human condition the deeper you think about it.

I would hope many young boys also see her as a role model.
Dr. Catharine Young@DrCatharineY
So many young girls have found their new role model.

Reaching out with genuine curiosity, not trying to hurt or offend.
If it were possible to somehow cure DS and other Biological birth defects from ever occurring, ensuring every child that would have been born this way would be born regular and completely eliminating it from occurring, would that be a desirable goal?
English
@starblind1988 @annamlulis What a horrible thing to say. They have just as much right to be here as you. Difference is, they obviously know more about compassion than you do as you can tell per video, whereas you are just simply cruel.

@xenocosmography @StoneColdDRich In Luke 22:36-38, Jesus instructs his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy swords
English
Pope arguing directly with Jesus (Matthew 10:34). x.com/Pontifex/statu…
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
English
This is a disingenuous take, Land. When Jesus said he brings a sword and not peace he did not mean it in the literal, material sense. The idea was that Jesus’ teaching would disrupt the world and cause great struggle for his followers.
John 18:36: “Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

@morallawwithin No they aren’t. Self-obsession does not need to be positive, necessarily. You consider yourself a philosophy student but think like this?

no there isn’t. those are literally opposites

@arstar16 @RupertMyers You’re telling they went that many miles in 11 days ok. You believe what your told to believe ill do the opposite as iv always done

What an incredible video of the Artemis II crew capsule coming down to earth at incredible speed

@ZZCupp01 @uncledoomer … no they aren’t. If you are able to make a stable orbit around the planet, you are in space…
English
@RedGnosis @uncledoomer Low orbit and space are two totally different things.

@RedGnosis @JuanSanchez0x0 @uncledoomer You said it - they couldn't deny it because they'd be ridiculed as sore losers. And they didn't try to go, potentially because they'd knew they couldn't.
