🤣 that checks out. I always assume it's a scammer or fiat collector if I get a call. Don't think I've had a legit one in years.
I wonder if land lines are safer then cell phones 🤔
Morning thoughts:
I think it will always be true that individuals and groups of people won't like each other.
Rule of law is meant to prevent ANY individual or group from deciding if another group or individual has a place in society. This includes the rights to life, liberty (make your own choices) ownership of your labor (money, property, etc)
We get into trouble with the rule of law starts to protect or elevate one specific group over another, rather then the protection or all groups by everyone.
It may not be my place to say, so forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn, as I'm clearly an outsider looking in.
I don't think equality of ownership or property rights will erase the inherit bias humans have toward each other. Gender is just an easy label for separation, like skin color, eye color, language, etc.
Even if all of us looked and sounded exactly the same people would find a way to separate and elevate themselves. However this bias can go way beyond the natural inclination when one group begins to oppress/coerce/control another group. Whether that's physically or financially we should fight against this oppression at all cost, and protect the liberty of every individual, and by extension every group.
It's an honor to speak with someone on your level of intelligence and I appreciate your response.
I think you're right, property or ownership of one's labor is only part of the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness (property rights)
Without protecting everyone's bodily autonomy/sovereignty (life) and their right to live how they see fit (liberty) society ultimately suffers.
To what extent these protections go is a hard problem to solve as you don't want to fall into the trap of favoritism of one group over another in any category.
There has been a dangerous move toward religious favoritism in many countries as an example.
