I'm in favor, for sure. Still, those tend to already be public domain ๐Ÿคท

I use streams rather than IPTV, but I have an answer nonetheless: sports. It's just about the only TV I ever watch live anymore because it's the only kind that HAS to be live.

The best piracy for music is digital piracy. Literal ship-based piracy is very inefficient when it comes to acquiring tunes.

Again, I specifically said that I prefer to have a compassionate society over a (maybe) genetically superior one that practices eugenics. The tradeoff is unquestionably worth it and you'd have to be very callous to disagree.

Also, I never said that medicine was the sole reason. On the contrary, I said that it's social society (which medicine is one of many results of) as a whole and a general disposition towards keeping your loved ones alive even if they can't hunt. That's much older than medicine. It's literally a cornerstone of what a society is.

Probably mixed up empirical and imperial. Happens all the time when dealing with those silly Romans!

OK, Cicero, but I'm pretty sure nobody mentioned Rome..

It's been long enough, but we've kept it from happening as much as it would in nature. By keeping people who have genetic traits deemed "undesirable" alive and breeding, we're effectively keeping those traits which would otherwise die out with the carriers of those genes.

Don't get me wrong, I much prefer having a society that doesn't just let people die from diabetes or refuse to have offspring with dyslexic people or any such eugenics cruelty! ๐Ÿ˜‚
