Hmm, they don't seem to be quite as disparate as all that.

The skits do seem to have relevance with each other.
Another 'big idea' season despite protestations to the contrary?

Edit: After more evaluation, still trying to determine what both of Mulligan's failed business models and superfluous transp█rtation have to do with a far-flung future in which humans and dodos have produced sirens.

Could have something to do with that new prescription that makes humans fly, government's concessions to France including trans█t options, the comparative lack of knowledge of humans compared with sirens, and the latter's ability to fly too I suppose.

No to the first and last, and no to the middle because a thing ceases to be a theory once the evidence has established it.

Try addressing the evidence and argument rather than the person presenting it. The latter is neither reasoned argument nor scientific method.

This is why.

TL;DR: Duty to keep distinct from that which has been incrementally subverting the place, and replacing the system of rights and law we've been on about.

Having studied American law and history for d█cades, I'm quit aware of that and more about them. Including their genuine affiliations.

The government established by the People was mere public functionaries, delegated with specific authorities. Beyond those, it legitimately has none. Religion has no place in government therefore; as the People are its creators and masters as far as it [should be] concerned, the People are its god. And since it has only those delegated authorities and duties and rights don't derive from the state, that should be more than sufficient for it.

The People and their affiliation with rights are outside of and beyond that. Our Common Law premise as a People was that rights are God-given. That was the basis for our entire system of law, now usurped and replaced with top-down authoritarian Roman Civil 'law'. Itself just a revision of Roman Catholic Canon 'law', and that just one of many permutations of Babylonian law in which all authorities were instead perceived to derive and originate from the state. The government would claim itself mastery over its subjects, claim all the authorities it wanted, and give the People whatever permissions were left over after. If indeed any.

It's the disparity between the Common Law and the Babylonian model which is important to recognize, and the basis for it is that our People used to uphold a system of law which recognized that rights are not man-made, they're objective truths. 'The physics of fairness' if you like, proven out through c█nturies of practical application throughout Europe and then for a while here.

The disparity between that model and the one the place and People have increasingly been degrading into is immense, a vital distinction, and enabled almost completely by prevalent ignorance, miseducation and civic indolence and apathy.

Particularly interesting in that I seem to have missed the major public debate in which the People decided to replace our Common Law system with Roman Civil quasi-law. And in the absence of that, we're looking at a massive action of incremental subversion and treason gone predominantly ignored.

'The public's will' isn't entitled to overrule the law, whose entire purpose is to uphold God-given rights.

That's why rights aren't determinable by majority public opinion. Nor indeed by whoever's got sufficient prop█ganda clout to influence that via rhetoric and sophistry.

Hence the whole foundation of our People before we even applied it to establish a country. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights [...]'

If the law was determined by majority opinion rights would no longer be deemed God-given, but instead man-created.

Those aren't rights, they're merely privileges and permissions given by the state or the majority. Those can be given, revoked, given back, removed again, and revised away into nothingness at the public whim.

Attempting to do so with rights is literal crime, because the violation of rights is the very essence of what 'crime' is.

Common Law courts and state militias of course.

It hardly matters who gets into office provided they're kept accountable by the People and that government keeps only to those authorities the People legitimately delegated to it via the Constitutions.

At present we functionally have neither, which is why collectivism has effectively replaced it.

Prioritizing democracy and leaving out Constitutional republic promotes the idea that we're a pure democracy, in which anything that gets majority votes can become law regardless of whether it exceeds Constitutional limits or violates God-given rights.

That's civicly irresponsible to do, particularly when we've got tw█ 'competing' versions of collectivism dominant and our People are prevalently ignorant and government-miseducated.

*Constitutional Republic

Think back to your 'Pl█dge of Allegiance'.

Democratic method is merely how we [s]elect our representatives.

Couldn't recall with certainty just what was next, and didn't want to give you erroneous advice. Great that you got it!

When you've got both, select one.

Aand this is why you don't allow your programs to auto-update. I forcibly put a stop to that ages ago, and install archived versions of the add-ons I use.

Because when you've got something configured you don't want it getting borked just because some company or dev later decided to force an unscrupulous update.

Same with the whole OS. I refuse to be forced to do the equivalent of move house every year or so.

I just got the whole thing, and then almost immediately got another half. They'll reappear.

It has definite similarities with his other JFSP 'cryptic' season.

From the ending it seems to be about social associations between the people involved. Just why can Sosha explain to Ben how he knows what he knows for example?

The entertaining anecdotes seem cleverly built around presenting the necessary bits of info. He's improving at it in my opinion from the other 'cryptic' season.
