tell me, what is the point of survival?

2018-05-18 15:03:46 UTC  

depends on the resolution

2018-05-18 15:03:57 UTC  

we all die.

2018-05-18 15:04:00 UTC  

there is no stopping it

2018-05-18 15:04:04 UTC  

at the lowest i'd say sustenance and spread of genes

2018-05-18 15:04:05 UTC  

so why delay it?

2018-05-18 15:04:11 UTC  

stop the nihilism you twat

2018-05-18 15:04:31 UTC  

its not nihilism. its an honest question.

2018-05-18 15:04:31 UTC  

Also I just noticed this is the newsroom

2018-05-18 15:04:51 UTC  

it is a nihilistic question, figure it out yourself

2018-05-18 15:05:01 UTC  

we all die, this is a fact. Yet we try so hard to try and survive. Why?

2018-05-18 15:05:02 UTC  

because that's the only way you will accept the answer that does not kill you

2018-05-18 15:05:08 UTC  

everyone has a reason.

2018-05-18 15:07:21 UTC  

but if genes if a reason and you have children, the only way to keep your genes alive beyond your death, then being altruistic to those younger than you makes sense as their bodies will be better suited to keeping your children alive than yours. This only becomes more important the older you get.

2018-05-18 15:07:46 UTC  

you're on a good track there

2018-05-18 15:07:58 UTC  

also the right track to figure out why tribalism works the way it does

2018-05-18 15:08:06 UTC  

to a limit though

2018-05-18 15:08:10 UTC  

yes

2018-05-18 15:08:30 UTC  

Altruism is only beneficial, if the people don't need it in the first place
Else they become dependent, and then can't survive without you

2018-05-18 15:08:53 UTC  

and since they dont need it in the first place for altruism to be beneficial, it doesnt work

2018-05-18 15:09:09 UTC  

that would depend on how you exhibit your altruism.

2018-05-18 15:09:43 UTC  

blindly doing anything is not, generally, logical.

2018-05-18 15:10:01 UTC  

and just handing out things for free without reason is blind altruism

2018-05-18 15:10:56 UTC  

( ( ( p a t h o l o g i c a l ) ) )

2018-05-18 15:11:03 UTC  

look it up

2018-05-18 15:11:07 UTC  

it's a thing

2018-05-18 15:12:08 UTC  

which definition you want me to follow?

2018-05-18 15:16:07 UTC  

this really isint the room for this discussion but my natural instinct is to help people. though it is a cost/benefit/familiarity/extremity analysis on my part

2018-05-18 15:16:56 UTC  

suggestion: "newsroom-commentary" as a room

2018-05-18 15:17:38 UTC  

i'd just say a general off-topic channel

Cuz half of these things aren't really news nor shitposting

2018-05-18 15:17:48 UTC  

nor fake 😉

2018-05-18 15:19:35 UTC  

ANOTHA ONE

2018-05-18 15:19:47 UTC  

another day, another shooting

2018-05-18 15:20:17 UTC  

that statement has been true since the 20's, maybe even before

2018-05-18 15:21:08 UTC  

since the first succesful gun prototype i'd say

2018-05-18 15:21:26 UTC  

wow 8 people dead in that texas shooting

2018-05-18 15:21:34 UTC  

at least

2018-05-18 15:24:15 UTC  

"An armed person walked into an art class at the school and began firing what looked like a shotgun, a witness told CNN affiliate KTRK."

CNN later today: Ban assault weapons

Is done the aisle the the right

2018-05-18 15:27:04 UTC  

the left: "Ban high cap mags, AR-15s, and semi autos to prevent another tragedy like this!"
observant people: "But.... that wouldn't have banned a pump action shotgun."
