Challenge Their Assumptions.
Tuesday, 10 October 2023
Challenge Their Assumptions. Whenever in debate with others, it's vital to listen carefully to the form of the question they're asking and to challenge the assumptions inherent within it.
For example, consider the question, “What gender do you identify as?"
This question presumes that gender is fluid and can be chosen.
However, in reality, gender is an inherent part of nature – just as intrinsic as height or eye color. It's a genetic trait, not subject to personal whim. Just as we can't change eye color or height with a mere wish, we can't simply wish away gender.
The idea that genetic traits and natural facts can be negated by individual or group wish or desire is prevalent today.
But facts are facts. The truth is that reality exists objectively. Facts stand whether or not we like them, accept them, or want them.
Reality is an objective absolute, It is not swayed by a person's whims, desires, hopes, wishes, or fears.
The primary role of the human mind is to identify facts as they truly are, not to invent them. Failing to recognise the truths of reality results in confused minds and upset emotions
Perception Is Not Reality. Often, we hear politicians use the phrase. “perception is reality." This is not true! Perception is perception. Reality is reality - it stands independently.
It's possible to misperceive reality, to mistakenly see something that isn't there, or to overlook what is.
Primary purpose, The primary purpose of the human mind is to perceive reality as it really is. If it fails , it's not fulfilling its primary purpose.
Gender is an objective fact of biological reality. Those who try to override the truths of their biological inheritance by claiming they disagree with these facts or wish them to be different are fighting a losing battle.
Rejecting reality can only lead to confusion, mistakes, and mental distress.
Reality Is Real. We need a reality-based nation, one that forgoes fantasies that facts can be rewritten to our liking and that reality bends to our emotions.
Rejecting facts results in chaos. It's frequently said we live in a mad world, with politicians and universities losing touch with reality. This sentiment is true; especially when these institutions promote the notion that perception equates to reality and that we can dream up our own gender identities
Let's Return to Common Sense. Common sense begins with the understanding that reality is consistent and facts don't change merely because we disagree with them.
We should identify facts, evaluate them rationally, and act accordingly.
This isn't a novel concept.
Common sense has been our guide for 3 million years.
The current "woke" culture is detached from this rationality. It's time to abandon such thinking and return to commonsense politics.
