    Yes, this sort of thing. I've little sympathy for 'How much progress can we say we've made when gay people have equal rights and women can prioritise careers and choose not to have children?' Go live in the medieval period. During the Black Death.https://twitter.com/greatsave7/status/980889564658069504 …

    There are also religious people who don't condemn homosexuals to death but believe homosexuality is immoral and thus the mainstream acceptance of it indicates moral decline.

        Are you equating scientific progress with moral progress? What does eradicating diseases have to do with this? Or women's choices for that matter?

        I didn't mention eradicating diseases as a form of moral progress. I was being facetious. Women having choices is better than women not having choices.

        Well. The crucial question is, would you make it a crime to have those beliefs? If not, we're cool.

        I don't see how the push-pull work of improving our selves or our civilization can work unless individuals have the right to potentially sub optimal perceptions or opinions. Sometimes, I'm just not quite right enough yet. Sometimes, I'm flat out wrong. Sometimes, I'm dead-on.

        Excellent. Evolution works by producing lots of sub-optimal solutions and weeding out the worst.
