HUMANIANITY FORUM

CULTURAL VICTIMIZATION
All cultures/subcultures produce some JCA and PSDED. Members undergoing such PSDED are victims, but usually cannot see this, because the culture defines those processes and behaviors as right/good.

JUSTICE
Is justice fair distribution of resources & revenge? Is justice all good; would you like being brought to it? Has punishment been successful? Should wealth be distributed? Is "justice" a holy word?

SPIRITUALITY
Does one have to believe in spirits in order to have it? What does the word mean? What are the necessary requirements? Can a Bright be spiritual? Is spirituality always, sometimes, or never good?

GOODNESS, THE
How is motivation to do good acquired? How can decisions as to what is right be legitimated? Is fear of punishment necessary? Can ethics be a source of joy? Can it be the primary source of joy?

SCIENCE AND RELIGION
Are they enemies? Allies? Inhabitants of separate worlds? Does the answer depend upon the religion? What should their relationship be? Should one stamp out the other? Advocate for the other?

THE UNBORN, UNCONCEIVED, YET-TO-BE-CONCEIVED, AND NON-HUMAN
Do we have obligations to the above, consistent with the REUEP which speaks of the good life for everyone, now and in the future? How are such ethical beliefs legitimated?

IMPROVEMENT OF RELIGION
Are all religions equally good? Beyond improvement? What constitutes improvement of a religion? Should religions advocate improvement of themselves? Should they share/communicate with each other?

OUR GODS
Are our concepts of the gods reflections of ourselves? Our parents? Our ideals and fears? Should everyone have a god? Should everyone's concept of God be the same?

IDEAL GOVERNMENT
Have we ever seen it? Are we getting closer or further away? What criteria would we use to evaluate a government? How would we legitimate those criteria?

FAITH AND DOUBT
Is faith always, sometimes, or never good. Is doubt always, sometimes, or never good. Does the answer depend upon circumstances? If so, how? Is belief voluntary?

THE MIND-BODY PROBLEM
What is the relationship between consciousness and matter, mind and brain, experience and reality? Does one influence the other? If so, how?

ANNOYANCE, IRRITATION, ANGER, OUTRAGE, HOSTILITY, REVENGE, PUNISHMENT, VIOLENCE, TERRORISM, WAR
Relationship breakdown. Alienation. Retribution. Preemption. Talking, hi-tech, angry chimps sitting at the pushbutton for thermonuclear war. What is the Humanian answer?

FREE WILL VS. DETERMINISM
Is one right and the other wrong? Is there another alternative?

CREATING HUMANS
Who should have children? Everyone? Anyone? Who should rear children? Everyone? Anyone? The highly skilled/trained? The licensed? What is a parent's sphere of influence? How many children are needed?
