MY BELIEFS

The modern, especially western, world is terrified of giving offence. The middle-east is terrified to receive it. We will remain at odds with those with whom we are unable to converse. When we cannot converse, we resort to violence.
Circumstances of birth are chance. If it is moral to strive for the least suffering in the word in aggregate, this is one way to achieve it; help with poverty, help with development of medicine or technology, but help.
Dogma, appeal to authority, and all the logical fallacies of discourse allow us to have intelligent conversations. Nonsense should not be tolerated from anyone. Nor should opposition to bad ideas be conflated with hatred of a group, culture, religion, etc.
