You do that by deconstructing it in practice, and that is what transgender and transage is doing. In what way? Even if you're transage, if the doctor needs to know your biological/birth age, then he can just ask you. -
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace, you You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one

There is a socially constructed dynamic around age just like gender. You can say "oh, age is just a physical/biological fact", but then you're ignoring the social repercussions of being a certain age. That is what transage or transgender is really about: changing the social dynamic in order to be treated a certain way. You may say "oh, if you look young, then people will treat you as such", but that is a bit too idealistic and simplistic. -

"Sheldrake's 2012 book, The Science Delusion, is an anti-scientific rant in which he applies postmodernist hyperscepticism to conventional science, accusing mainstream scientists of adhering to "scientific dogmata", such as the constancy of the speed of light." - https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake

They are green in some aspects, but they also resist green in other aspects, like some types of postmodernism and deconstructionism.

People who claim it has zero evidence have 1. not read any studies on it, 2. dismissed it based on their gut instinct, or 3. denied the validity of any evidence because of the incommensurability of different scientific paradigms (again, the curse of materalism). https://www.sheldrake.org/research/morphic-resonance 30:16 - addresses the testability question

If I just claimed that your entire list is an attempt at squaring a hole, don't you think that you will do the same with my rebuttal? -
Carl-Richard replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Your examples are the epitome of forcing a square peg into a round hole. -

The separate self is the illusion of separateness created through mental distinctions, and humans are very good at making those distinctions. If you're not making any distinctions; if you're not venturing outside to discover the world, you don't have to come back home again. The difference between humans and animals in that sense is that the animal is sleeping inside the home while the human returns awake (he had been sleepwalking while dreaming and then woke up in his bed). -

To return to your true self, you must first have lived as a separate self
