Yes. What is the justification? To save the economy? To save the prison guards? -

You're just misunderstanding the concept. Artificial selection (a.k.a selective breeding) is when a human decides using their own volition exactly who breeds and who doesn't: "this specific dog right here gets to breed with this other dog". When nature or a mate decides who breeds, it's natural or sexual selection. Natural selection means the individuals with the highest evolutionary fitness survive and reproduce. Darwin posited a system (evolution by natural selection) and articulated the constraints of that system (variability in traits, finite resources, descent with modification). "Nature", i.e. the constraints posited by Darwin, does the selection. The environment does not do the selection. The environment plays into some of the constraints, but so does the organisms. Again, we're not talking about a random sample of people. We're talking about a group of people with shared cultural values, a shared history and shared selection pressures.

I admit it's a silly argument. But why is being unreformable a necessary criteria for the death penalty? And how do you decide who is unreformable? -
Lol I'm 25 and my hairline has been under attack for the last 5 years (it's like Norwood 4 or something). I recently started shaving it very thin with a machine. I'm preparing for the eventual dive into baldhood

Our class watched this very moving clip during a lecture on domestic violence (we watched up until 5:40). Thought I would share it here (I was only able to find it with Spanish subtitles).

No. You don't even need to meditate to engage in spiritual bypassing. Even affirming a belief like "there is only Now" can be a way of spiritual bypassing. I used to do that many years ago to avoid thinking about the future and avoid responsibilities. -

We should. -

Leo thinks extremely bad people who are sitting in jail should be killed. I don't think so, because: Their ability to do harm to innocent people is absolutely minimal. Their ability to do harm does not differ substantially from the large amount of very bad people below the "extreme" cut-off point. Very few people are extremely bad, so removing them leads to only a marginal reduction in harm. Executioners have extremely high rates of PTSD: 31%, compared to 20% in Iraq veterans. We generally don't kill people for being a social or economic burden on society (e.g. institutionalized mentally ill people). "We will kill you not because we have to, but because we can" is a terrifying message for the state to send to its citizens. I don't believe anybody inherently "deserves" to die. -

I'm saying Leo is being compassionate towards them despite their wrongdoings. -

So, 1. They can be a drag on society (mentally ill) and you'll still be compassionate. 2. They can be a danger to other people (domestic abuser) and you'll still be compassionate. What about being both? That's a prisoner. -
This discussion centers around whether animal agriculture is bad for the environment, and it's simply the case that it leads to deforestation.

I used to think this new wave of prog metal bands were a bit recycled and lacking in style, but this might've changed my mind:

...no.

@Kksd74628 The people who became a mod never argued for why they should become a mod ?
