@Ophillous Yeah, that's like at least 80% of the internet.

Learning from mistakes. We are all just talking monkeys banging rocks together, on the grand scale. If we learn how to not smash our fingers, we have advanced. If not, then well we will be still sitting here doing the same thing.

@Surasanji I dont really give it a single definition. I see human progress as multi-faceted. Just as I dont see intelligence as meaning math or science but includes artistic and social intelligence among others.
@freemo Okay, cool. But how do *you* define it?

@Surasanji Thank you 💛 my sense of humour is something I pride myself on
@Ophillous I assume you've got a good sense of humor, certainly seem like a nice enough swarm of bees/person. I enjoy our interactions.

@Surasanji I think we define it for the context we speak on. In most moral areas I see some progress but mostly just churn disguised as progress. We liberate some groups while oppressing the next. But I think there is sme legitimate sense of moral progress in other ways,
For technology I think there is a clear sense of progress but the rate of which has remained fairly constant throughout the millennia,
Good morning #qoto ! I've got a #RandomQuestion for you here today-
How do you define human progress?

@ridley Is your theme song 'In Your Eyes'?
Preferably as sung by Ninja Sex Party?
@SquidPresident@cryptids.online But I asked for pictures of your gizzard. Please, Mr. President, I need to show my Gastroenterologist *SOMETHING*!
@lizardmentsh Aw. He's got a cute lil punim.
Learning about Trans community, CWed for length
@intensity While this is also true, the issue with the chromosomal aspects and genetic aspects there is that they are oddities and not standard. Those are disorders, mutations, and anomalies where it relates to the genetics of male versus female in human beings.
Trans identity may, certainly, be connected to those sorts of abnormalities in one's genes or physical self- but I feel like transexuality is specifically NOT a disease or disorder and doesn't present itself in that same vein.
I do imagine that there are greater numbers of mental health disorders among the Trans community, but not specifically because they are Transexual (As this, again, is not a disorder or a disease. It's just who they are.) but rather a function of their environment, and society's treatment of this group of people.
Being treated like shit and forced to act in a way that doesn't feel natural to one's self is a sure fire way to get a good case of the fucked up head, in my opinion and experience.
So, in short, I'm not sure I agree with the statement regarding biological sex, but more research is likely warranted to find examples that are not due to disorders, syndromes, or other anomalous actions within the physical and biological side of things.
Once more, I'd like to make perfectly clear: One's sexual and/or gender identity is *not* an illness or disease when it does not match with one's biological sex or heteronormative standards. I'm just not so sure that pointing out that a very, very small group of people don't follow the standard biological template is a good or helpful point of reference as it would, in my opinion, lead some people to believe that previously mentioned gender/sexual identities are somehow intrinsically connected to what amounts to a biological fluke.
@EdgarAllanFoe That's a pretty fantastic wizard.
Suggestion for a new shorthand. WMEO- weeping my eyes out
@johnrandom@cryptids.online Not everyone's brain can grasp the perfection of a sphere. It's a sad truth. :(
@johnrandom@cryptids.online It's like orb blessings, but for people who believe in a non-orb.
@SquidPresident@cryptids.online My alignment is partially stupid.
