    Get the fuck all the way out of here with that bullshit.

    They are lower than worms.

          (Do try to speak plainly. It makes the conversation run more smoothly.)

          Yes, a system of laws made by humans. But that system is itself not human. Any more than a car or a toothbrush.

          The important difference is that a system of laws is dumb, blind, gameable and breakable. A human, much less so.

            Dictators are both the main beneficiary of the system of laws and its promoters, because they ARE the law.

            Gameable I like that.

            But the universe is gameable, the formation of governing is a play in the game, as are reactions outside of governing. The game is the universe.

            Life is chaos, God is the universe and “the game” is manipulating God. Being one with God is not playing the game but accepting chaos and flowing and growing with it, with the faith. All other action are done out of fear and lack of faith.

    I mean… speaking concretely, sure, they’re biologically human, but… when delving into the abstracts, this is at least highly debatable…

    So are many of the “demons” of many religions. A person with mental disorders is still a human.

    That doesn’t make them or their actions any less reprehensible as far as the ones who end up being called such things.

      I’m drawing a distinction between a human and a system of laws.

      An important difference is that a system of laws is dumb, blind, gameable and breakable. A human, much less so.

        lol well you’re just purely wrong about humans being more robust than laws… Hilariously so.

        Especially if we narrow it to “lawmakers”.

    This is not a profound statement. We humans are the monsters in your storybooks. We are the things that go bump in the night. Being human does not bring you above anything, and using it as a status is guaranteed to drag you down below the dirt.
