I'm not the best at math so someone could probably correct me if I'm wrong but you can't do an equation if you don't know at least some of the values. In this example, the basis for his reasoning is that a=b. To declare that, you need the values attached to the letters, otherwise you have nothing to base your reasoning off of.

I'm Swiss, I can assure you not everyone gets firearm training. Only the people who do the military service get something resembling firearm training, and yes they get to keep their firearm IF they want to and even then they have to leave the bolt in a military armoury and they can't take any ammo home.
Also why would it be a necessity ? Except for a few passionate people that enjoy hunting or shooting for sport not that many people need to know o
how to shoot. What most of these posts leave out is that there are thorough background checks for everyone wanting to buy a gun.
As for the bridges thing it used to be true, but that hasn't been the case for a few yaears now.

The "chip" used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease is much more mechanical, it's more akin to a pacemaker in how it works than a the smartphone brain chip shit Musk is trying to sell. Plus as Tara_ pointed out, one of the subject of the paranoia of people who suffer from schizophrenia is litteraly having had a chip implanted in their brain.

Anarchism doesn't mean removing all your beliefs and getting rid of morality and ethics. It just means an organisation without a hierarchy. I know in french most of the time anarchism is used to say a total absence of rules and chaos but that's not quite what it means.
A good example would be a colocation: there is no ruler, no one is above the others and can decide what everyone else has to do. Rather, decisions are taken together and through discussion. If there are rules (and most of the times they are needed in order to have a functioning society) they are enforced by the other roommates and are agreed upon by everyone. You do not recognise the authority of a person but you can respect their expertise (for example, one of the roommates is a plumber and while they do not force you to take care of your pipes a certain way, you're still going to listen to them because they know what they are doing).
If you apply this to the societal level it's kind of the same, you can have people advising you how to live your life and you still have rules to follow (no stealing, etc) but they are rules you agree with and if you do not, there's not going to be a police force enforcing it. Rather the society as a whole is going to enforce it.
I hope my explanation clears things up a bit for you. As for anarcho-communism, not a lot of people agree on whether or not it's a contradiction, there's a lot of debate around the subject.

I mean, there is already a kind of hormone level requirement. Caster Semenya is an athlete that was born a woman and never underwent any kind of hormone therapy, yet she naturally produces high levels of testosterone, which gives her an edge over her opponents.

She now has to take testosterone lowering drugs if she wants to compete again.
I think it goes to show that hormone levels are maybe not all there is to a person being a man or a woman
