in other words, simply being human is not enough for human rights. only later is it that a person is defined in terms of cosmic did functioning. and only then does it acquire the right to legal protection. this is called the personhood theory. and what it means is that arguments like that rests on a split or divided or dualistic view of the human being one that sees no value in our biology except utilitarian. and it locates all of our moral worth in our mind or consciousness. the most obvious problem is no one can agree on how to define personhood. if it's not created with just been biologically human when does it start. every one offers a different answer. an article appeared by two moral philosophers arguing for what they called post- birth abortion. the office argued that that merely being human is not in itself a reason to subscribing the right to life. they have no moral life for beginning after birth abortions. we are talking about transformation from a mere physical thing that you can kill for any reason to a person with dignity so profound th

again being human is no longer enough for human rights. it is promoted in the name of compassion but this is not compassionate. some people don't measure up. they don't make the cut. they don't qualify for human rights. it is inclusive if you are a member of the human race you're in. they have the dignity and status of a member of the moral community. now where does push -- personhood theory. such a negative view of human life come from. stems from a view of nature. that nature is a product of mindless forces. the key elements of this theory and the random forces of natural selection were specifically intended to get rid of the concept of purpose and design in nature. here's how the recent new yorker article put it. the loyalty oath. is that nature is without conscious design. the emergence was without meaning which is the greek word for goal or purpose. as a collection of cells. no different from any other configuration of matter. and that explains why just being human and not taught to entail any special status of value. to displace it i

what that means is the human voice is literally humanizing.t is the voice itself, some quality of the human voice that helps us to recognize each other as human beings deserving of respect and we do deserve respect. not every opinion and every person. it also means the process of transferring communication to the digital world is dehumanizing us. we hate each other, we don't see each other as human beings deserving of respect. this is not a partisan issue. those liberals, they are always jerks or the other way, it doesn't matter what you are thinking. it is not partisan. every single person is equally prone to do this to the other side. every person is equally prone to confirmation bias. you believe something and someone gives you evidence proving that belief is wrong and makes you believe it harder. we are the only species that suffers confirmation bias. that is because confirmation bias is not helpful. it is not really helpful. if you have a cat and the cat truly believes there is no cat in the next room - i mean a mouse, sorry. if you have

values in no country and or democracy but american type of human rights. is a corrupt notion in which the human could we swapped with petro dollars in the vision could we swapped with the political influence take the example of yemen you see the genocide there were going on with larger scale of millions of people live and then just look who is supporting who american and british and the number of other european countries they are very generously lend their support to the aggressor even directly they participate in their side so what kind of human rights is in which to live of million children a woman does not count well let me ask you a specifically about that because when the issue of human rights in iran is raised you never for a fail to mention what you just said that the united states and europe i'm not qualified to pontificate on human rights because of their own record of murder in a number of countries but you know very well that they easily dismiss your argument as briskly as you dismiss theirs do you think they're still any of room any space any f

the only reason that they need humans in charge of the cranes on this side is because there are humansthe ship and so the law says you can't let computers swing containers around when there are humans. so if there weren't people on the ship, the computers could control this screen as well. could control this crane as well. it's the same story at the other side of the port. the only thing the autonomous cranes aren't allowed to do is lower the containers onto the lorries because there are human drivers nearby so that part is done by a human crane operator, but from an office nearby. i mean, it's all very impressive. it looks really cool, but there is a flipside to this which is every one of those trucks that's driving around ten years ago would have had a driver and now it doesn't. and there are no crane operators in the middle section either. so while we are looking at the future of work here, we really need to look about the future of the workforce as well. and the workforce at rotterdam has spoken. in 2016, 3,600 workers walked out to protest at increasing automation at the port. nie

but that's what happens when a pair of human ears listens to human voice. we can explain it we don't know how it works we don't know why it works. but we know that is something that humans do that other species can't. we can bond with one anotherer we can reach one another on a level beyond what science contract. c and that is what we are trying to replace with the movies. seriously. you can't. there is all kinds of ways that technology just can't replace what you can do with your voice apologies. the process that begins with an apology and leads eventually to forgiveness and moving on is a relatively complicated process.. but at the top of your right here. move it up 1 inchh and move it back 1 inch. that is a compound should center of your brain. and when the process begins to get an apology in some form. and your compassion center goes on. that's it lead you to the whole rest of the process that makes you able to forgive and forget for that first person. if someone reads an apology in any forme nothing happens here. if you send an apology by e-mail or god

what that means is the human voice is literally humanizing. it is the voice itself, some quality of the human voice that helps us to recognize each other as human beings deserving of respect. and we do deserve respect. every person deserves respect. not every opinion, but every person. and it also means this process we are going through right now of transferring all of our communication to the digital world is dehumanizing us. of course we hate each other, we don't see each other as human beings deserving of respect. this is not a partisan issue, if you are thinking absolutely, those liberals are always jerks, or the other way, doesn't matter, what you are thinking, it is not partisan. every single person is equally prone to do this to the other side. every person is equally prone to confirmation bias. do you know what confirmation bias is? it is where you believe something and then someone gives you evidence proving that belief is wrong and it makes you believe it harder. we are the only species that suffers from confirmation bias and that is

[laughter] seriously. you can't there is all kinds of ways that technology just cannot replace your voice. apologies. that process that begins with an apology leading to forgiveness and moving on it is a neurological process put your finger by i your ear move it up one engine back in each that is the passion center of your brain. and when the process of forgiveness begins you have to get an apology and the compassion center comes on. somebody reads an apology in any form nothing happens if you send it by e-mail or text god for bi bid, nothing. crickets. why do we avoid calling the person because it is easier. exactly it is tough to say you sorry to somebody and it is painful and guess what? when y

well, i think human history and human condition is a march towards greater equality.uld be slaves in the southern part of america 150 years ago was accepted as common wisdom. the idea that women were inferior to men or that gay people shouldn't have the same rights as straight people, that religious people and atheists should have fundamentally different rights. all these things have changed, darks and light skins. but what hasn't changed, and we can say in 2018 that we can see the strains of nationalism and populism and building fences and borders and fortifications. today, we can say that there is something about all of human history where, yes, there are constant movements of people. usually invasions which involve violence and those movements of people generally have involved epic amounts of killing and bloodshed. i don't think they have, i don't think that's true. look at the history of north america, south america, central asia. almost any geographical part of the world is full of such stories. yes, i mean, there has been violence associated with migration, but
