They were not considered as part of the island group hypothesis. If you wish to associate with such, hunt down a religious cult. Solon, I think you're getting tired of the argument because that's not a fair statement. The island was constrained to non-believers only. Non-believers can be immature and/or irrational, too. They just have one less thing to be irrational about than believers. Karen

"The world is full of examples of indecent, uncaring, inconsiderate people.You are trying to pretend that you cannot make such assessments," Not at all, I'm saying flat out, you can't make them, and still remain philosophically consistent. I have a perfectly logical and consistent position, you do not. Don't blame me for your inability. Government is only one aspect of true anarchy, which would also reject the tyranny of your imposed reason. It's not that in an anarchistic world, you could not think, it's only that you could not impose those thoughts on others. Therefore the non sequitur remains. Which are you advocating? You have always assumed reason's objective and ultimate existence, in opposition to your stated belief that ultimate objective standards do not exist. You have never shown why we should expect these truths to emerge from a totally random uncaused and purposeless and impersonal universe. I await your reply.
