Negative Opinions About Me Don't Faze Me

Here's An Easy One: "race Is An Entirely Social Construct." No, It's Partially One, Depending On How Any Given Society Seeks To Define It And Its Implications. But There Are Basic Things Such As Skin Color And Hair Texture. Even A Martian Who'd Had No Exposure To Human "social Constructs" Would Be Able To Spot Those Differences. But No Martian, As Hard As He Tried, Could Point At A "culture" Or To "equality." Those Are The Social Constructs. Those Can't Be Measured In The Same Way As Human Dna.

My Crazy Parents And Those Crazy Catholic Nuns Didn't Do A Good Job Of Forcing Me To Keep The Ten Commandments, But They Kept Me Forever Fixated On The Very Idea Of A Taboo.

To Think That Humans Evolved From Lower Species But The Evolutionary Process Somehow Came To A Halt And We All Arrived At The Finish Line Simultaneously Is To Embrace A Fiction Possibly More Implausible Than Christianity.

A Lot Of People Expend Great Time And Effort Explaining Why They Don't Like Me, But None Of Them Ever Try To Explain Why Their Opinion Should Matter To Me. I Think Most Of Them Sense, But Would Never Be Brave Enough To Admit, Their Subordinate Role In The Food Chain Relative To Me.

The Criticism That Has Most Consistently Bothered Me Is The Allegation That I'm A Schlockmeister Whose Only Objective Is To Shock People.
