Absolutely, but since when does the universe operate in equals and balance? It is literally impossible for everything to be successfully equal. Hollywood's business model does not predicate for every male action movie, we must release a female action movie, for every white lead role there must be a black lead role, so on & so forth. It doesn't work that way, and frankly in a world that claims it wants equal treatment for all, everyone sure pays a lot of attention to putting people in catagories. The typical hypocritical thinking of Liberals, have our cake and eat it too.

Again, avoiding any actually ideological discourse, but childishly posting nonsense. So much for the community on this site being about civility & comprehension. All I've seen so far are people throwing temper tantrums.

    since when does the universe operate in equals and balance?

Since always. All known processes try to achieve stable state of minimal energy by either competition (in biology and economics in specific) or by adjusting the rate of change in the system to fade with time (thermodynamics, chemistry) by means of equal distribution. It can oscillate around equilibrium, but as long as it does that it tries to achieve the state of diminishing change via dissipation (losing energy externally) and/or negligible local<->global direction of change (dynamical system at stable minimal energy).

You can read more about types of equilibria or read-up on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. They will be invaluable to pursue the amazing world of statistical mechanics that opens the door to both quantum many-body physics and cosmology and almost every subdivision of physics in-between. I do recommend Road to Reality by Roger Penrose to get a general gist of all that and more.

am_Unition - would you mind doing a bit of a fact-check for me here? Sorry for bothering you, yet again.

Facts check out. Main response sent via PM. :)

Great. I hope that encourages to leave, because that's exactly the point I want to make.

I'll edit to add that computers are unnatural/anti-"universal order" as fuck but I still see you're using one.

And for someone concerned with people who label other people you throw around the term liberal - with a capital L! - a shit ton of a lot.

Yes, the typical Liberal move, someone challenged you so you scream until they leave so you can avoid using logic and realizing 95% of what you believe is baseless and unfounded. This will not encourage me to leave, it will encourage me to continue upsetting your naive little minds with powerful arguements.

No they aren't, they very much function via the chaos of the universe. As an electronics engineer I can tell you that we have no idea how or why computers work for the most part.

Liberals aren't hard to spot, there is no shame in labeling ideals, especially fairytale nonsense ones.

I was hoping to come here to learn oppossing points to ky own, and see the strong side of liberal argument for once, but now I see the issue is that there simply is no such thing as a strong arguement for Liberalism.
