@Sprite Trans people wear and need a lot of makeup. To, you know, feel like themselves. Not wearing makeup hurts their mental health. Have you ever thought about that?

@pinkdrunkenelephants I'm not an American, far from it, but this is too much, even for me, so I couldn't help it, sorry.
@ZenFriedRice Yes! Everything is kind of a lie, and everyone is kind of a fake. You too. Me, as well.
This is really liberating, and I find it kinda amazing and beautiful even that it all still works.
@altair222 But religion, which is complete opposite of science and scientific method also stem from philosophy. Humanities, which may or may not involve science also stems from philosophy.
This makes philosophy not part of capital S "Science".
As for @tomasz's question, no, I don't think so, not completely. Science is almost all-powerful, that's true. But only almost. There are blind spots to it, sometimes it's too strict for its own good, especially around the edges, where there's either too much (think society) or too little (thinkpersonal, subjective stuff) data, the method starts to fail. So, treacheruos and dark arts-y it may be at times, there will still be room for philosophy and things like humanities.
@ksynwa There's a problem with "human trafficking" aspect as well.
"Trafficking" problem is as engineered as "prostitution" or "drug" or "abortion" problem is. It's borne of inablilty of some people to cross borders freely as they want. So they go to backalley traffickers.
Decriminalize human movement, and "traffickers" will lose their base.
@Sprite And besides, what even counts as "makeup"? A lot of things *you* do as a daily routine could be just as well considered "makeup".
What is "illusion"? A lot of things you interact with on a daily basis is an "illusion". "Illusions" and imagined constructs make up our whole society. They are our superpower as a species, you don't want the world without them, just trust me.
