#kex2020

2018-01-23 01:46:52 UTC

Go away Commisar Bob dole ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-01-23 01:46:56 UTC

obviously not lol

2018-01-23 01:46:59 UTC

i see your reference! ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-01-23 01:47:32 UTC

I promise a 100% policy on all laws.

2018-01-23 01:47:42 UTC

I'm objective, yeah. I'm just objective about the human race. I deem it to be more important than the one of me.

2018-01-23 01:47:49 UTC

And I'm completely comfortable with that.

2018-01-23 01:47:54 UTC

We must go forward, not backward, upward, not downward, and always twirlling TWIRLLING TOWARDS FREEDOM

2018-01-23 01:48:18 UTC

=p

2018-01-23 01:48:19 UTC

Jane Goodall talked about altrusim too with her group of Chimps that she was with, and what she was reffering to was the acts they preformed willingly to help another person in their group achieve something and then move on, such as helping a young chim make an instrument to get ants, and then left it at that.

2018-01-23 01:48:23 UTC

I read twerking at first.

2018-01-23 01:48:46 UTC

That works too

2018-01-23 01:48:55 UTC

but you are a human, and the human race is just a compound group of humans, so you are basically saying that humans matter so humanity matters so therefore I don't matter.

2018-01-23 01:49:13 UTC

human individuals matter

2018-01-23 01:49:18 UTC

therefore i matter

2018-01-23 01:49:20 UTC

In reality, if the Earth was to suddenly blow up, the universe would move on.

2018-01-23 01:49:20 UTC

Why does it have to be an either/or thing?

2018-01-23 01:49:34 UTC

The human race is the perfect race, and we can not slay the filthy xenos until we get our own little mud ball under control

2018-01-23 01:49:34 UTC

Jayred put that better than revolver ocelot did.

2018-01-23 01:49:34 UTC

I'm just being objective and realistic on a smaller scale that I can influence

2018-01-23 01:49:49 UTC

We could be out there expanding humanity yo diffrent worlds no joke we could

2018-01-23 01:49:53 UTC

ofc i did, i'm the one arguing for the rationale here

2018-01-23 01:50:03 UTC

We could have a colony on mars if we didnt endlessly fight each other

2018-01-23 01:50:30 UTC

The miricles we humans can do when were not holding each other back over such petty things like race and religon

2018-01-23 01:50:48 UTC

also Tim, i'm so sorry for giving you like a 5000 message Newsroom here ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-01-23 01:50:52 UTC

We turned a world that was mostly plants to one of stone and electricity and knwoeldge.

2018-01-23 01:51:03 UTC

i'm gonna go to bed, you all have fun with your american time

2018-01-23 01:51:13 UTC

cheerios

2018-01-23 01:51:14 UTC

Why the FUCK cant we get a simple thing like this settled?

2018-01-23 01:51:17 UTC

I am human. I am part of the human race. More humans matter than one human. If given an ultimatum where one human has to die, or all have to die, and I have ten seconds to decide, I choose the rest of the humans to live.

2018-01-23 01:51:18 UTC

and if we keep having whole groups of people rely on one person or one thing, like welfare; we aren't going to get to colonize Marz

2018-01-23 01:51:27 UTC

Compared to curing cancer compared to the other miricles of humanity

2018-01-23 01:51:32 UTC

Welfare is nothing.

2018-01-23 01:51:57 UTC

Not that it would be an easy choice

2018-01-23 01:51:59 UTC

I know i know >.>

2018-01-23 01:52:03 UTC

We can't get to the stars if our foundation is crumbling at our feet.

2018-01-23 01:52:09 UTC

I agree, curing cancer and such would be better, and a lot of the money that gets needlessly dumped into welfare could go towards that.

2018-01-23 01:52:19 UTC

And I'd hate it. But I'd realize that the human race was so much more important than that one human.

2018-01-23 01:52:22 UTC

i just...sometimes feel like screaming at humanity as a whole we have such power but we never use it

2018-01-23 01:52:26 UTC

Individual lives _are_ important.

2018-01-23 01:52:40 UTC

We already cured one kind of cancer

2018-01-23 01:52:44 UTC

But not at the cost of others.

2018-01-23 01:52:51 UTC

Of the majority of others.

2018-01-23 01:52:51 UTC

two technically if you consider the hpv vacine a cure

2018-01-23 01:53:01 UTC

Well, one is more important than the other.

2018-01-23 01:53:02 UTC

I'm not saying not to help anyone, I'm all for helping someoen who has had a horrid accident at work which has left them unable to work, I'm not for helping some lazy idiot who would rather claim he can't work and just suck me dry of my tax money.

2018-01-23 01:53:13 UTC

^

2018-01-23 01:53:21 UTC

Generational welfare exists

2018-01-23 01:53:36 UTC

the HPV thing is not really so much a cure as it is just a test to see how far it is

2018-01-23 01:53:36 UTC

people whom have fathers and grandefathers whom never finished school whom never worked

2018-01-23 01:53:41 UTC

and have dozens of children

2018-01-23 01:53:42 UTC

I never said that selfishness was about sacrificing others for yourself

2018-01-23 01:53:50 UTC

far from it

2018-01-23 01:53:53 UTC

HPV is a virus everyone has, but now there is a test to see if it's going rogue or not

2018-01-23 01:54:01 UTC

And I never said that you said that.

2018-01-23 01:54:07 UTC

oh I agree generational welfare exists

2018-01-23 01:54:08 UTC

So I guess impasse.

2018-01-23 01:54:11 UTC

I know fourth generational welfare recipents, i tried to help him learn to read

2018-01-23 01:54:13 UTC

he was 25

2018-01-23 01:54:16 UTC

but you are implying it

2018-01-23 01:54:26 UTC

>my mind thinks something, therefore it is

2018-01-23 01:54:33 UTC

yes

2018-01-23 01:55:00 UTC

"I can read your mind, and know without making any investigations."

2018-01-23 01:55:07 UTC

no I'm not, I'm not selfish and neither is anyone else who wants to put food into their own kids mouths instead of paying for some idiot on welfare to get another dime bag or grab another 6 pack, or even just to pay for his mersedes payment

2018-01-23 01:56:08 UTC

and no, it's not Altruism, because paying for that shit has to be willingly done, not forced to do it

2018-01-23 01:56:10 UTC

well just from your previous statements you are talking about choosing between sacrificing 1 person and the rest of humanity, I'm assuming that the person is you because otherwise that choice would be trivial.

2018-01-23 01:56:11 UTC

But anyway, this really is just a cycle of "my opinion", then "your opinion." I have no idea what logical conclusions you've come to to decide what you've decided, but I'll probably leave you to it here pretty soon.

2018-01-23 01:56:30 UTC

Oh yeah, if I had to be sacrificed, then fuck yeah

2018-01-23 01:56:32 UTC

Sign me up

2018-01-23 01:56:39 UTC

If the alternative is everyone else

2018-01-23 01:56:42 UTC

Its not just my opinion, I am giving my rationale and you are rejecting it.

2018-01-23 01:56:52 UTC

"My rationale"

2018-01-23 01:56:55 UTC

"My"

2018-01-23 01:57:15 UTC

"Accept my opinion as I dress it up as irrefutable fact!"

2018-01-23 01:57:26 UTC

no you aren't

2018-01-23 01:57:29 UTC

"You don't see it as fact? But I cannot fathom!"

2018-01-23 01:57:50 UTC

you are trying to guilt people into accepting that Altrusim's definition is to be leeched off ot

2018-01-23 01:57:52 UTC

*of

2018-01-23 01:57:54 UTC

and it's not

2018-01-23 01:58:00 UTC

and it isn't working

2018-01-23 01:58:33 UTC

no, altruism's definition is to allow yourself to be leeched off of.

2018-01-23 01:58:45 UTC

no it's not

2018-01-23 01:58:51 UTC

because it neccessitates a sacrifice.

2018-01-23 01:58:53 UTC

it's definition is to willingly help a person

2018-01-23 01:59:24 UTC

you are the one not wanting to see it for what it truly is and are trying to force people to see it your way.

2018-01-23 01:59:27 UTC

but who says that a society can't be altruistic but the people not?

2018-01-23 01:59:39 UTC

Basically, what I was trying to get at is this: if I have to sacrifice for the good of humanity, sign me up. I don't even care if I'm being leeched off of, it's a purposeful leeching I fully consent to. And if the situation were to ever arise, I would never, in a _million years_ think of only myself. I'd be apprehensive as all hell, but I wouldn't _not_ sacrifice.

2018-01-23 01:59:40 UTC

if you force a person to pay for someone and have them be dependent on you, it's not Altruism

2018-01-23 01:59:49 UTC

I'm giving a part of myself to something I believe in.

2018-01-23 01:59:59 UTC

And that's the part absolutely no one could ever take away from me.

2018-01-23 02:00:10 UTC

In any concievable situation.

2018-01-23 02:00:27 UTC

The part of me _wanting_ to make changes for the betterment of my kind.

2018-01-23 02:00:44 UTC

but you are included in your kind

2018-01-23 02:00:57 UTC

so you still are not performing a sacrifice.

2018-01-23 02:00:57 UTC

"One of us suffers, so all of us must suffer"

2018-01-23 02:01:07 UTC

It sounds a lot like naivety.

2018-01-23 02:01:08 UTC

> wants to not be a degenerate
> is degenerate

2018-01-23 02:01:09 UTC

same

2018-01-23 02:01:13 UTC

>>

2018-01-23 02:01:47 UTC

I make the choice. And in the end, no one's going to take that choice away from me if the need ever arises.
